Review of Dogtooth (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 24 Jun 2010

A litmus test for not just how much de-glamorized sex and violence you can handle but whether or not you want to be assaulted by a sea of nothingness…

Review of Knight and Day (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 22 Jun 2010

Lighthearted and silly, to the point that you don't mind Cruise's immobilized forehead or that Mangold obviously has henchman entering a scene…

Review of Beeswax (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 06 Jun 2010

Beeswax can be summed up by one lingering shot, where the camera focuses, for no particular reason, on Maggie Hatcher's armpit hair…

Review of Here and There (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 27 May 2010

Review of MacGruber (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 20 May 2010

Kilmer gets us past the many slow parts of MacGruber so that Forte has time to convert his vanity project into an amusing mix of Austin Powers…

Review of Death at a Funeral (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 15 Apr 2010

That Morgan spends the entire second half of the film covered in feces doesn't seem like a commentary on actors wearing blackface (or Brownface)…

Review of Clash of the Titans (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 01 Apr 2010

As 3-D always does, the movie looks dark and dingy --not polished and expensive, as the 2-D version probably was…

Review of Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 11 Mar 2010

While Moore still stacks the deck, there are enough scenes portraying callously inhuman policies, such as the death peasant insurance, to pacify…

Review of Cop Out (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 26 Feb 2010

Cop Out plays like one of Steven Seagal's recent DTV offerings; where the plot doesn't make a lot of sense and exposition is handled in voiceover,…

Review of Shutter Island (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 21 Feb 2010

Shutter Island is a surface movie without even much surface; it's awash in stale ideas and character actors like Patricia Clarkson and Jackie…

Review of District 13: Ultimatum (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 18 Feb 2010

The start-stop rhythm lets you know when you can focus less on the obvious plot mechanics and governmental conspiracy stuff, and recharge for…

Review of 44 Inch Chest (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 05 Feb 2010

Venville keeps the camera back and the images wet, brown, and moldy while the characters scowl and spew vitriol at their foe, allowing us to…

Review of From Paris with Love (2010)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 04 Feb 2010

If anything, From Paris With Love doesn't go far enough in its ridiculousness, with only Travolta's firing-a-bazooka-off-a-freeway-bridge scene…

Review of Youth in Revolt (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 08 Jan 2010

Arteta commits to the lasciviousness, turning Youth in Revolt into more of a self-aware, comedic adaptation of Scott Spencer's Endless Love,…

Review of The Hangover (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 26 Dec 2009

The real underlying message of The Hangover, as in most of Phillips' films, is that women are shrews, whores and/or fools-though Galifinakis…

Review of Paper Heart (2009)

By Adam Lippe (129) for Examiner.com (1,617) on 25 Dec 2009
