Review of The Good German (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 29 Jan 2007

A cold movie that sacrifices so-called 'heart' to achieve a primarily technical effect -- an appropriate strategy for a story about death camp…

Review of Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 29 Jan 2007

Review of Notes on a Scandal (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 29 Jan 2007

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Jan 2007

Sharon Stone's teary monologue near the end of the film might be more effective if she weren't buried inside a fat suit that makes her look…

Review of The Painted Veil (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Jan 2007

An intelligently crafted movie of dull tastefulness that brings nothing to the story that wasn't more artfully evoked in the novel…

Review of Children of Men (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 05 Jan 2007

Utterly convincing in the density of its street-level detail and occasionally awe-inspiring in the bravado of its complicated action sequences…

Review of Black Christmas (1974)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 03 Jan 2007

Director Glen Morgan has a nice pictorial sense and a flair for ghoulish caricature, but the film is muddled and choppy…

Review of The Good Shepherd (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 22 Dec 2006

Seems to have been inspired by two of De Niro's more celebrated movies, 'The Godfather Part II' and 'Once Upon a Time in America'; if it lacks…

Review of Rocky Balboa (2006)

Review of Pursuit of Happyness (2005)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Dec 2006

Review of Flushed Away (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Dec 2006

Review of Apocalypto (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 15 Dec 2006

The premise of Cornel Wilde's 'The Naked Prey,' the jungle savagery of a 1980s Italian cannibal film and the sadomasochistic martyr-complex…

Review of Blood Diamond (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 08 Dec 2006

A 'King Solomon's Mines' for the troubled consciences of a post-colonial age. (Is that why the lead African character is named Solomon?)…
