Review of The City Dark (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 16 Jan 2012

As an effort in civil duty, The City Dark would earn three sturdy stars, but as a film it's lacking…

Review of Loosies (2012)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Jan 2012

Loosies never establishes a consistent tone; it feels made up as it went along, and not in the electrifyingly free-wheeling fashion of, say,…

Review of The Hunter (2010)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Jan 2012

Writer-director Rafi Pitts manages an atmosphere of choked, ambiguous dread that recalls nothing less than Godard's Alphaville…

Review of The Story of Lovers Rock (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Nov 2011

The Story of Lovers Rock, an unapologetically single-minded appeal for the legacy of this music, is amateurish but appealingly shaggy…

Review of The Love We Make (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Nov 2011

The Love We Make is mostly about placing viewers in an icon's shoes as he makes a rehabilitative gesture toward a city with which he's grown…

Review of My Reincarnation (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Oct 2011

My Reincarnation has an effective bifurcated structure that testifies to the level of trust Jennifer Fox clearly established with her subjects…

Review of Revenge of the Electric Car (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 20 Oct 2011

This is still the kind of film that's probably most necessary if movies hope to play any kind of part in our cultural rehab…

Review of Finding Joe (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Sep 2011

Finding Joe maintains that every person should, as Joseph Campbell wrote, find your bliss, a potentially valuable nugget of wisdom that this…

Review of Journey from Zanskar (2010)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 24 Sep 2011

It's the rare urgent-issue movie that refuses to pummel you with the importance of its subject matter, which in this case involves the shameful,…

Review of Granito: How to Nail a Dictator (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Sep 2011

The key to good, or at least effective, agitprop (and Oliver Stone and Michael Moore know this) is that, yes, it must simplify matters, but…

Review of Inside Out (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Sep 2011

Inside Out should be wild and violent, playing on the soap-operatic mood swings that drive televised wrestling; instead it's one or two murders…

Review of Apollo 18 (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Sep 2011

A nasty, cleverly revealed monster might have redeemed some of the monotony of the first (seemingly endless) hour, but the beasty here manages…

Review of Vamsha Vriksha (1971)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Aug 2011

A few trite race and religion jokes goose up what's mostly a sentimental story of a dysfunctional family suddenly and magically learning to…

Review of The Family Tree (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Aug 2011

A few trite race and religion jokes goose up what's mostly a sentimental story of a dysfunctional family suddenly and magically learning to…

Review of Bad Posture (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Aug 2011

Once it gets its nominal plot and character development out of the way, Bad Posture turns out to be pleasantly surprising…

Review of Ichi the Killer (2001)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Jul 2011

Unhinged even for Takashi Miike, Ichi the Killer suggests a bloody and ejaculate-stained Rorschach inkblot, reveling in ultraviolence that…

Review of Golf in the Kingdom (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Jul 2011

The film, for all its trite lessons, forgets that people mainly play golf because they enjoy it…

Review of Septien (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 04 Jul 2011

Like many films early in a director's career, it plays more as a sketchbook of intended future endeavors than as a cohesive and fully realized…

Review of Raw Faith (2011)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Jun 2011

Peter Wiedensmith's methods aren't as cinematic as they could be, but even this seems to ably mirror Marilyn Sewell's humility…

Review of Motel Hell (1980)

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 17 Jun 2011

This film’s pleasures are extremely mild, but they’re discernable for the curious fan of retro redneck horror, or, far more likely, for…
