Review of Once Every Day (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Feb 2013

Richard Foreman's film plays like a stoic parody of commonly held stereotypes of avant-garde cinema…

Review of John Dies at the End (2013)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Jan 2013

The frantic, grotesque imagery ironically only highlights Don Coscarelli's inability to truly cut ties with the constraints of accepted storytelling…

Review of Jack Reacher (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Dec 2012

The film is as incompetent, manipulative, safe, and disposable as any number of nickel-and-dime actioners, but goes to great, unconvincing…

Review of The Collection (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Nov 2012

Whereas the later Saw films were hampered by bloated backstory, various ostentatious agendas, and self-satisfied sadism, The Collection feels…

Review of The Bay (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Oct 2012

The Bay is Barry Levinson's most engaged and entertaining movie since Wag the Dog, which isn't to say that he's given up his irksome predilection…

Review of Chasing Mavericks (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Oct 2012

The filmmakers' kinship to Moriarity is obvious, and it makes for a tone of unflinching hope and optimism, though it leaves little room for…

Review of The Other Son (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Oct 2012

The filmmakers focus almost entirely on matters of displacement of cultural identity in scenes that are at once passably engaging and stunningly…

Review of Alex Cross (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Oct 2012

Expositional and often self-serious to the point of genuine awkwardness, the dialogue is never as haltingly unconvincing as when it's attempting…

Review of Clue (1985)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Oct 2012

Clue is comfortable with its pedigree, even giddily enthused by it, which gives its creators freedom to produce not a nostalgic entertainment,…

Review of Here Comes the Boom (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Oct 2012

As a comedy, the film aims low and manages to miss the mark entirely…

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 Oct 2012

Smashed touches on the awkward perversity that often comes from seemingly pure emotions and intentions, and turns a noticeable, if slightly…

Review of Memories Look at Me (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 03 Oct 2012

Worry and sadness are palpable, but so is wry humor and irony as Song ponders age and mortality with a sensitive eye for emotions and a strong…

Review of The Oranges (2011)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Oct 2012

As much as the dialogue in the film voices an attitude of self-liberation and champions the positives of severing accepted social constraints,…

Review of Looper (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Sep 2012

As in the very best Anthony Mann and John Ford westerns, Looper at once understands the visual power of violence and is deeply critical of it…

Review of House at the End of the Street (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Sep 2012

The film is essentially toothless, but it never stoops to humorless torture-porn theatrics…

Review of The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Sep 2012

A risible, somewhat revolting piece of pop martyrdom, made for and isolated to the damaged middle class…

Review of For Ellen (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Aug 2012

So Yong Kim's direction remains ruminative, even poetic, in its pacing, its sense of place, and its approach to intimacy, but this is her most…

Review of The Possession (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Aug 2012

Remarkable only in how brazenly it embraces the tired yet proven formula that these modern ghost tales deal in…

Review of The Apparition (2012)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Aug 2012

The story is a worthy one, but the film lacks any daring expressive touches that might have made it, at the very least, noteworthy…

Review of The Awakening (2011)

By Chris Cabin (484) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Aug 2012
