Review of The Way Home (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 23 Jan 2003

The Way Home is an ode to unconditional love and compassion garnered from years of seeing it all, a condition only the old are privy to, and...often…

Review of The Hours (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 23 Jan 2003

Daldry slices scenes from the three women's lives and fuses them into one momentous thrust…

Review of Baraka (1992)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 13 Jan 2003

[It] begins like a National Geographic tour....a vacation from dialogue and narrative, traveling strictly on imagery…

Review of Chicago (1927)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 01 Jan 2003

Marshall depicts flashes of thought and lust for fame with spaghetti straps, sequins, rolled stockings, songs through lush lips, gyrating hips…

Review of Evelyn (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 01 Jan 2003

The film's lack of personality permeates all its aspects - from the TV movie-esque, affected child acting to the dullest Irish pub scenes ever filmed…

Review of On Guard (1997)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 27 Dec 2002

In the spirit of Voltaire and Molière, On Guard volleys great wit and deadly gestures in a milieu of lush apparel, landscapes, captivating…

Review of Analyze That (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 22 Dec 2002

Analyze That regurgitates and waters down many of the previous film's successes, with a few new swings thrown in…

Review of The Emperor's Club (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 16 Dec 2002

The Emperor's Club is a nerd's version of Dead Poets Society...but lacking the wonder, revelation and charisma of the latter…

Review of Personal Velocity (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 16 Dec 2002

Personal Velocity seems tailor-made for art-house audiences…

Review of Frida (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 18 Nov 2002

Frida has the heightened emotion and color of artist-bio classics...but not the consistency..taking great artistic risks that range anywhere…

Review of I Spy (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 06 Nov 2002

The film is overloaded with self-destruct modes, override codes and cocky Murphyisms discharged with machine-gun relentlessness…

Review of The Grey Zone (2001)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 25 Oct 2002

The Grey Zone gives voice to a story that needs to be heard in the sea of Holocaust movies...but the film suffers from its own difficulties…

Review of White Oleander (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 15 Oct 2002

Kosminsky has wrapped each scene with a soft-velvet camera eye that follows the young girl around like a dedicated diary...[with scenes] held…

Review of Marty (1955)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 03 Oct 2002

Marty is one of those straightforward, no-frills films that shoots directly to the dead-true point…

Review of Snipes (2001)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 03 Oct 2002

Mafia, rap stars and hood rats butt their ugly heads in a regurgitation of cinematic violence that gives brutal birth to an unlikely, but…

Review of Juwanna Mann (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 03 Oct 2002

Wouldn't it be nice if all guys got a taste of what it's like on the other side of the bra…

Review of Sweet Home Alabama (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 03 Oct 2002

It's painful to watch Witherspoon's talents wasting away inside unnecessary films like Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Abomination, I mean, Alabama…

Review of The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 03 Oct 2002

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys manages to capture that impossible time when idealism clashes with reality and religion, wrapped inside…

Review of Igby Goes Down (2002)

By Anita Schmaltz (53) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 26 Sep 2002

Igby Goes Down...is an attractive, quick-witted but ultimately vacuous coming-of-age movie that never actually comes of age…
