Review of Underworld: Evolution (2006)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Jan 2006

There's no guiding power at work here; it's Evolution without a shred of intelligent design…

Review of The Whole Ten Yards (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Dec 2005

An anemic attempt at Coen-style bodies-and-bowling deadpan, The Whole Nine Yards compensated for its comic shortcomings with a casual, uncharacteristically…

Review of The Kid & I (2005)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 29 Nov 2005

Qualifies as the most indulgent kind of homemade project, laden with tediously inspirational dialogue and visuals that seem shot through half-fizzled…

Review of My Big Fat Independent Movie (2005)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Nov 2005

Feels motivated by envy more than anything else-it's a sour, petty act of mockery that values its own ineptitude over genuine cleverness, travestying…

Review of This Revolution (2005)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Oct 2005

A clever but aesthetically murky remake of Haskell Wexler's scorching McLuhan pastiche Medium Cool (1969)…

Review of Pretty Persuasion (2005)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Aug 2005

A high school send-up more gleefully incorrect than Heathers and considerably less articulate than Election, Pretty Persuasion is a hand grenade…

Review of Happy Endings (2005)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Jul 2005

Roos forecasts and explains every development with a title card, a device not unlike having someone yammering in your ear throughout the entire…

Review of Murder-Set-Pieces (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Jan 2005

Depraved, disgusting, misogynistic, ugly, and interminable, Murder-Set-Pieces is the lowest form of cinematic life, a movie so utterly degenerate…

Review of Seed of Chucky (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 16 Nov 2004

The film mostly shoots blanks; it's less than the sum of its in-jokes…

Review of A Silent Love (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Oct 2004

The movie can't resist putting its key points in italics, but it maintains a refreshingly unsentimental trajectory…

Review of Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Sep 2004

Not without its moments of elemental dread, Apocalypse is also obviously padded, too long on action, and painfully short on irony…

Review of Paparazzi (1998)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Sep 2004

An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship…

Review of Paparazzi (1999)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Sep 2004

An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship…

Review of Paparazzi (1998)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Sep 2004

An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship…

Review of Paparazzi (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Sep 2004

An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship…

Review of Paparazzi (1964)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Sep 2004

An egregiously self-serving slice of celebrity worship…

Review of Collateral (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for East Hampton Independent (23) on 04 Aug 2004

Yet Mann finds a way of easing into this material; you appreciate his professionalism even as you roll your eyes…

Review of The Manchurian Candidate (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for East Hampton Independent (23) on 29 Jul 2004

Surprisingly effective as a thriller -- if ultimately rather timid (especially for an election year) as a political satire…

Review of Nola (2003)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for Village Voice (8,525) on 19 Jul 2004

Screwball it isn't, but it has screwy down pat…

Review of The Door in the Floor (2004)

By Ben Kenigsberg (863) for East Hampton Independent (23) on 12 Jul 2004

Lines soaked with irony in the novel are played utterly straight-faced in the film-making Irving's tale seem less imaginative (and considerably…
