Review of Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (2013)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Jun 2013

A rock-doc that mythologizes the tragicomic flame out of power pop's seminal band, and the fan-made afterlife that brought them long-delayed success…

Review of Quantum of Solace (2008)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Apr 2013

Updating this anachronistic cash cow with the scrappy and sexy Craig still looks like a wise move, but it requires a greater quantum of style…

Review of Knuckleball! (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Sep 2012

This chronicle of two athletes throwing baseball's funkiest, least respected pitch is given depth by their stranger-than-fiction underdog status…

Review of Radio Unnameable (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Sep 2012

While crediting free-form radio pioneer Bob Fass with changing the culture of broadcasting, this documentary remains clear-eyed about the decline…

Review of Francine (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Sep 2012

In a character study of an ex-con who gives her heart and mind to animals rather than people, Melissa Leo's risky performance is ultimately…

Review of Side by Side (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Aug 2012

A serviceable primer on the digital-celluloid divide in commercial cinema, if a bit unwieldy in scope and in danger of being made obsolete…

Review of The Campaign (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Aug 2012

A lumpy spoof of electoral mudslinging that offers some bracing bipartisan contempt amid the lowbrow, labored slapstick…

Review of Sacrifice (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Jul 2012

A historical melodrama that retains an ancient, elemental pull even as it insufficiently charts motivation and the self-denying values of antiquity…

Review of Sacrifice (2010)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Jul 2012

A historical melodrama that retains an ancient, elemental pull even as it insufficiently charts motivation and the self-denying values of antiquity…

Review of The Gold Rush (1925)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Jun 2012

Even with its (likely dictated) propaganda on behalf of the now-superfluous 1942 edition, this set restores a high watermark in cinematic comedy…

Review of To Rome with Love (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Jun 2012

With age comes exhaustion, according to a rueful line late in the film, and it serves as a fitting diagnosis for Woody Allen's latest fallen…

Review of Tahrir: Liberation Square (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Jun 2012

A direct-cinema document of the Cairo protests that toppled Mubarak, Stefano Savona's film doesn't pretend that Egypt's resolution has yet…

Review of Hide Away (2011)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 May 2012

A banal poetic drama of a grieving stranger licking his wounds in a bayside Michigan town…

Review of Dark Shadows (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 May 2012

A mixed bag of Nixon-era pop burlesque and vampire kitsch is ultimately undone by pedestrian gags and bloated genre boilerplate…

Review of The Observers (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 May 2012

Goss's film carries its unique forms of narrative suspense, but her 16mm images imbue both the forbidding landscape and her characters' scientific…

Review of Bernie (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Apr 2012

A surprisingly shapeless true-crime farce which never creates a convincing context for the odd relationship between a pious East Texas mortician…

Review of Payback (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Apr 2012

This documentary on the many forms of human debt, though often frustratingly broad, offers a path to balancing civilization's ledger with a…

Review of Detachment (2011)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Mar 2012

Endng in risible bathos, Tony Kaye's urban high school melodrama is all about the cute teacher's crises and the girls who love him…

Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Mar 2012

The ill use made of the stars' charms in this initially strained, then egregiously dopey mushfest can likely be credited to market-tested notions…

Review of Come Back, Africa (1959)

By Bill Weber (150) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Jan 2012

A solid, affecting artifact of the cruelty of late 1950s South Africa, in which music often makes despair and long-suppressed anger bearable…
