Review of Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 27 Jan 2014

As unapologetically entertaining as Boyle's winking tale about fate is, it brings with it recognition of India's worst social ills…

Review of The Hurt Locker (2008)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 13 Jan 2014

The Hurt Locker is not a conventional approach to wartime heroics but rather a penetrating and harrowing examination of war's unrelenting damage…

Review of Lone Survivor (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 09 Jan 2014

Review of Blackfish (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 01 Jan 2014

If you're not moved and angered by what you see in Blackfish, your heart is made of harder stuff than mine…

Review of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 26 Dec 2013

It's one thing to repurpose a story into something of your own, but to abandon its intent in service of a unrecognizable plot and muddled message…

Review of The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 26 Dec 2013

The 71-year-old Scorsese is in full-on gonzo mode here, giddily leering over every tacky, morally bankrupt act of decadence…

Review of Philomena (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 22 Dec 2013

The odd-couple road movie is well-trod territory, so it's a welcome surprise to see it handled as intelligently, deftly and movingly as it…

Review of We Are What We Are (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 16 Dec 2013

If nothing else, director Jim Mickle should be commended for his subversive attempt to turn his slow-burn cannibal horror flick into a moody…

Review of All Is Lost (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 16 Dec 2013

Review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 26 Nov 2013

It's clear that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has left the dewy-eyed awe of childhood magic and entered the brooding angst of adolescent…

Review of Kill Your Darlings (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 23 Nov 2013

Krokidas is a cunningly inventive director, making his shoestring production look 10 times its budget. And the cast is terrific…

Review of The Book Thief (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 23 Nov 2013

When Death is your narrator, your movie had better have something profound to say about the precariousness of life or, at the very least, display…

Review of Kung Fu Panda (2008)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 22 Nov 2013

Review of Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

By Jeff Meyers (379) for Metro Times (Detroit, MI) (691) on 08 Nov 2013
