In The Incredible Hulk, Betty handles her role as The Girl in unusual and frankly charming ways: she's easily the film's most impressive effect.  Film DVD ReviewThe Amateursby Jessica Suarez[5.Mar.08] :. This film has a great deal of potential, but like many of the characterizations, it's not fully realized.  Film ReviewScooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[26.Mar.04] :. In the sequel no one needs to see, the Scooby Gang grapples with the stress of stardom.  Film ReviewWonderland (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[16.Oct.03] :. There's no truth in this true crime, only the fictions that sustain 'Hollywood'.  Film ReviewThe Grey Zone (2002)by Elbert Ventura[31.Oct.02] :. This crepuscular work offers the most realistic depiction of the infernal workings of a Nazi death camp ever seen in a fiction film.  Film ReviewThe Good Girl (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[9.Aug.02] :. Into Justine's black hole of a routine walks Holden glowering, self-consciously poetic, urgent. Minority Report (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[20.Jun.02] :. Based on a story published by Philip K. Dick in 1956, 'Minority Report' is science-fiction of the sort that Dick preferred to write -- set in the future, but all wrapped up in concerns that are immediately relevant to the present moment (that the same concerns were relevant back in 1956 is not a little unnerving, as will become clear).

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)by Lucas HilderbrandIt's a Depression-era musical laid on top of a chain gang escape film, inspired at once by Homer's 'The Odyssey' and Preston Sturges' screwball comedies. But outrageous as it might seem, this ultra-high-concept project suffers from a lack of inspiration. |
