Review of Sahara (2005)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 10 May 2015

Review of Brothers in Arms (2003)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 04 May 2015

The vets tell the truth, by any reasonable measure, and then the filmmaker stirs the elements as filmmakers always do, whether partisan or neutral…

Review of Oliver Twist (2005)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 02 May 2015

Yet precisely because this is by Roman Polanski, it's irresistible to read his sorrowful and seemingly classical take, from a filmmaker known…

Review of Breakdown (1997)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 11 Apr 2015

Breakdown feels at first so casual, so comfortable with its own small expectations (a good but unglamorous cast, a sturdy but unspectacular…

Review of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Apr 2015

Review of The Departed (2006)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 29 Mar 2015

The very title The Departed suggests a James Joycean take on Irish-Catholic sentiment when, of course, this story is anything but: It's Scorsesean,…

Review of The Hours (2002)

By Lisa Schwarzbaum (1,672) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 29 Mar 2015
