Review of Into the Abyss (2011)

By Alec B (1,705) on 11 Oct 2016

Understandably, Herzog often seems bewildered by the culture and the people he's examining, but he lets each person speak for themselves without…

Often entertaining, but also quite frustrating…

Review of The Nice Guys (2016)

By Alec B (1,705) on 10 Oct 2016

Fun, engaging story that was well written with great acting and directing. One of my picks for top ten films of the year…

Review of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016)

By Alec B (1,705) on 03 Oct 2016

Undeniably amusing (this is the kind of role Samberg excels at), but it feels a little too cozy with the industry and talent it's supposedly spoofing…

Review of The Thin Red Line (1998)

By Alec B (1,705) on 30 Sep 2016

Obviously Malick was never going to make a conventional war movie (major characters come and go, the voice over narration is unpredictable,…

Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998)

By Alec B (1,705) on 30 Sep 2016

Yes the D-Day sequence is a technical marvel but it's important to remember that it occupies a very brief period of time in a nearly three…

Review of Stalag 17 (1953)

By Alec B (1,705) on 28 Sep 2016

There's probably a version of this movie that's an unrelenting pressure cooker but Wilder's trademark wit takes the movie down a more interesting…

Review of Blue Sky (1994)

By Alec B (1,705) on 28 Sep 2016

I suppose Lange and Jones are good buy the movie itself leaves a lot to be desired…

Review of The Relic (1997)

By Alec B (1,705) on 11 Sep 2016

Excessively mediocre pastiche of much better horror movies…

Review of The King of Comedy (1982)

By Alec B (1,705) on 09 Sep 2016

A bleak and uncomfortable masterpiece that arguably goes to darker places than any of Scorsese's crime films…

Review of Keanu (2016)

By Alec B (1,705) on 29 Aug 2016

Had some funny moments. Not a great movie but a little better than expected…

Review of Roman Holiday (1953)

By Alec B (1,705) on 27 Aug 2016

Undeniably charming, although I'd argue Peck is miscast (he's just not scrappy enough for this role) but that hardly matters…

Review of The Weather Man (2005)

By Alec B (1,705) on 27 Aug 2016

I think the ending leaves a lot to be desired (for a film about a man who's deeply depressed, it sure resolves itself quickly)…

Review of Weiner (2016)

By Alec B (1,705) on 23 Aug 2016

An utterly bizarre documentary…

Review of Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003)

By Alec B (1,705) on 20 Aug 2016

Dante is the right director for this material and whenever the screenplay gets away from him (which is quite often) he is usually able to salvage…

Review of Love & Friendship (2016)

By Alec B (1,705) on 15 Aug 2016

Stillman and Austen make for a delightful combination…

Review of The Lobster (2015)

By Alec B (1,705) on 08 Aug 2016

As odd as it is wonderful. Reminds me of Aldous Huxley's Strange New World or Terry Gilliam's Brazil without the elaborate sets…

Review of Ghost World (2001)

By Alec B (1,705) on 31 Jul 2016

For a film about the inevitable loss of friendship and the meaningless search for purpose in life, Ghost World still manages to be hilarious…

Review of Louder Than Bombs (2015)

By Alec B (1,705) on 26 Jul 2016

This is a beautifully done, difficult movie. It captures life with a teen-aged boy going through a difficult time…
