Review of Some Velvet Morning (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Dec 2013

To watch the film is to wonder once again why Neil LaBute was ever taken seriously as a so-called dramatist of the gulf between the sexes…

Review of The Crash Reel (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Dec 2013

It compellingly captures a family wrestling mightily with the riddles and contradictions of a culture that promotes achievement at all costs…

Review of Swerve (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Dec 2013

A confident and exciting genre film, and that's certainly not nothing, but it has a slight impersonality that marks it as either a calling…

Review of Crave (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Dec 2013

The film's method of admitting its own hypocrisy so as to enable it to further indulge said hypocrisy grows more grating than if it were merely…

Review of The Great Beauty (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Nov 2013

Paolo Sorrentino's film is really just a huge turn-on that has the bad manners to go sour, succumbing to its own self-delusions of moral/political…

Review of Birth of the Living Dead (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 Nov 2013

The film is unavoidably slight, but there's a certain pleasure in watching talented people wax passionate about a common source of inspiration…

Review of How I Live Now (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Nov 2013

There are a few effectively disquieting sequences early on, but the film never recovers from director Kevin Macdonald's indifferent staging…

Review of Mr. Nobody (2009)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Oct 2013

The only truly graspable notion the film can be said to put forth is one of increasingly tedious sci-fi-romantic genre busy-ness…

Review of Man of Tai Chi (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Oct 2013

The film ultimately doesn't live up to this early potential, as Keanu Reeves loses his way in the third act with too many false climaxes…

Review of Seduced and Abandoned (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Oct 2013

Toback's frequent gasbaggery is often forgivable. Underneath his party-boy hubris beats the heart of an occasionally major artist…

Review of Toad Road (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Oct 2013

Writer-director Jason Banker finds the ironic beauty that arises from his characters' self-contemptuous and misplaced acts of destruction…

Review of Haunter (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Oct 2013

Vincenzo Natali emphasizes technically impressive shots in the service of predictable, boring expository beats, at the expense of elaborating…

Review of Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Oct 2013

The film is just a stunt or, more specifically, a calling card, but that might be enough for anyone who's ever wanted to kick Mickey Mouse…

Review of Trouble Every Day (2001)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Oct 2013

There's possibly no other living director as in sync with the politics of touch as Claire Denis…

Review of Parkland (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Sep 2013

The Peter Landesman film's overt politics are minimal, aside from defaulting to the myth of John F. Kennedy as a martyr for...something…

Review of Dracula 3D (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Sep 2013

The film is dispiriting because there's virtually no sign of Dario Argento in it, nor of any novel motivation to mount yet another version…

Review of Bad Milo! (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Sep 2013

It's fair to say that a filmmaker is thinking outside of the box when he or she stages a scene in which an ambulatory hemorrhoid tears a guy's…

Review of We Are What We Are (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Sep 2013

Jim Mickle plays the scenario deadly straight and unintentionally exposes all of its attendant absurdities, leaving the cast stranded…

Review of 営業1∞万回 (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Sep 2013

It ambitiously parodies and mourns the implications of the one coherent message that mass media manages to convey to all of its consumers in…

Review of Hell Baby (2013)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 Aug 2013

Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon display a freewheelin' sense of invention that should be watched closely, because they have the raw stuff…
