Review of Sweet Land (2005)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 11 Oct 2006

Review of To Return (1982)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 10 Sep 2006

There's enough intrigue and good humor that you barely mind the clichés, the misdirection, and the easy capitulation to formula…

Review of Hollywoodland (2006)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 06 Sep 2006

The film oughta be Reeves' story -- except the filmmakers, like everyone else, couldn't figure out how the poor guy really died…

Review of The Great Yokai War (2005)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 22 Aug 2006

Review of Snakes on a Plane (2006)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 17 Aug 2006

Review of Miami Vice (2006)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 14 Aug 2006

Review of A Scanner Darkly (2006)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 17 Jul 2006

The slipperiness of the animated image has something to do with duplicity, with the idea that things you perceive are not necessarily the same…

Review of Takeshis' (2005)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 13 Jul 2006

Takeshi Kitano's crazy, weird, indulgent, breathtaking, strangely titled fantasy is as entertaining as it is puzzling -- a marvelous movie…

Review of The Proposition (2005)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 01 May 2006

An ambitious work, thick with history and atmosphere and clearly haunted by the ghosts of an Australian past that remains, at least where cinema…

Review of Hard Candy (2005)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 13 Apr 2006

Hard Candy ultimately lacks the balls to follow through on its most discomfiting promises, choosing instead to wallow in a surfeit of final-reel…

Review of Brick (2006)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for Bryant Frazer's Deep Focus (294) on 29 Mar 2006

Review of Manderlay (2005)

By Bryant Frazer (316) for White Plains Times (1) on 22 Feb 2006

Whereas Dogville was a slippery, challenging and ultimately brutal masterpiece, Manderlay is looser, messier, less serious and ultimately far…
