Articles tagged "rhona mitra" PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2008 FeatureCelulloid Culpability - Top 10 Film Guilty Pleasures of 2008by PopMatters Staff[13.Jan.09] :. Like comedy or music, one's choice in cinematic pleasure can be very personal - and very peculiar. Take this tantalizing list of shameful indulgences. You can argue over their artistic value, but their individuals rewards definitely speak to those who champion them. PopMatters Picks: The Best TV, Film, and DVD of 2008  Film DVD ReviewDoomsdayby Evan Sawdey[18.Aug.08] :. All the satirical/B-movie homage aspects of this movie emerge only in retrospect: not during the actual viewing itself.  Short Ends and LeaderDoomsday: Unrated (2008)by Bill Gibron[26.Jul.08] :. Some films commit the cardinal cinematic sin of being too smart for their own good. They smugly announce their importance, challenging you to hate them if only to expose your own lack of...  Film ReviewDoomsdayby Cynthia Fuchs[17.Mar.08] :. If there's a single image worth contemplating in Doomsday, it's Eden's strapping lats and shoulders.  Film ReviewBeowulfby Cynthia Fuchs[16.Nov.07] :. Beowulf is the model man, outrageous and arrogant, and so admired far and wide.  Film ReviewSkinwalkersby Cynthia Fuchs[13.Aug.07] :. In Skinwalkers, there are two kinds of skinwalkers. Some see their bloodlust as a curse, and others, more colorfully, "embrace the power of the beast." Shooter (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Mar.07] :. While Swagger describes himself modestly, he's also one of those highly trained government instruments whose post-trauma mission in life is vengeance. The Number 23 (2007)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Feb.07] :. The movie is at least nominally aware of the silliness of its device, that the finding of 23s in every frame is a game, that the meanings are more about readers' needs than some grand plan of the universe. Boston Legalby Lesley Smith[1.Nov.04] :. The first episode of David E. Kelley's Boston Legal bubbled like vintage pink champagne. The Life of David Gale (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[20.Feb.03] :. Only Clint Eastwood could have cooked up a more dramatic climax to an innocent-man-on-death-row plot, which he did, in True Crime. Beowulf (1999)by John G. NettlesBeowulf saves the girl and carries her to the stronghold, where she immediately breaks away again and allows herself to be killed. Evidently there's 'something' inside the castle worse than death -- the rest of the movie. |
