Review of Penguins of Madagascar (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Nov 2014

It does well to put more focus on delivering a plethora of jokes, imitations, zippy repartee, and sight gags than its plot's familiar machinations…

Review of Late Phases (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Nov 2014

Adrián García Bogliano ends up merely toying with the death-steeped concerns of his characters, and taking the furious and bitter perspective…

Review of Beyond the Lights (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Nov 2014

By rooting Noni's self-image issues in a controlling mother, the script provides the film with a tame, melodramatic structure that dulls the…

Review of Big Hero 6 (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Nov 2014

The film quickly becomes a study of grief and retribution, and the question of how exactly technology can and should be utilized in the treatment…

Review of Interstellar (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Nov 2014

Much like his hero, Christopher Nolan's goal seems to be to take the humor and wildness out of imagination, to see invention in rigidly practical…

Review of Nightcrawler (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Oct 2014

Dan Gilroy's directorial debut only offers a familiar vision of today's newsman and producers as misery peddlers, and callow ratings slaves…

Review of John Wick (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Oct 2014

The film is thematically thin, and it has a tendency to embrace the action genre's more obnoxious elements, but there's a proudly no-nonsense…

Review of The Judge (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Oct 2014

One long trial of moral duty, and one that excuses repugnant behavior and psychological warfare in lieu of a repetitive, condescending sermon…

Review of Kill the Messenger (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Oct 2014

The film devolves quickly into a pedestrian character study that basks in Gary Webb's public shaming and victimization, losing sight of the…

Review of Inherent Vice (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Oct 2014

The dangers of filmmakers trying to replicate a golden era rather than embrace the present are part and parcel of Inherent Vice, but the ramifications…

Review of Timbuktu (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 30 Sep 2014

The film's criticism isn't primarily rooted in satire, but rather in fury and condemnation for those who seek to be gods while shamefully feigning…

Review of Men, Women & Children (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Sep 2014

Jason Reitman fails to take into account any of the positive endeavors enabled by social media, which will no doubt be used to promote and…

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Sep 2014

The flippancy toward the story's thematic concerns and character construction suggests that the film, like the boxtrolls' myriad gadgets and…

Review of Whiplash (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Sep 2014

The thrill of watching Fletcher and Neyman's fray unfold is intensified by Damien Chazelle's attention to the craft and challenge of musicianship…

Review of A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Sep 2014

All of Scott Frank's thematic concerns are little more than window dressing for a run-of-the-mill detective story in line with '90s thrillers…

Review of Mr. Turner (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Sep 2014

An astute summation of Mike Leigh's glum view of humanity, but also a challenge to this disposition and his own pessimistic perspective…

Review of God Help the Girl (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Sep 2014

Stuart Murdoch clearly knows quite a bit about crafting pop tunes, but the film's consideration of the work of songwriting is totally flippant…

Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 19 Aug 2014

Whereas a single, stinging one-liner would have sufficed Jacques Tourneur or Fritz Lang, Frank Miller's overcompensating flood of pulpy dialogue…

Review of The Expendables 3 (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Aug 2014

For all the brawn on display, the film never slows down to take in the thrill and talent of hand-to-hand combat…

Review of Sex Tape (2014)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Jul 2014
