Review of Frost/Nixon (2008)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 28 Oct 2014

Frost/Nixon is smart and involving, a thoroughly grown-up and carefully made drama about the real-life, on-air showdown between a lightweight…

Review of The Royal Tenenbaums (2001)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 30 Sep 2014

Anderson likes his characters too much to see real cruelty befall them; you likely will too…

Review of 28 Days Later (2002)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 29 Sep 2014

Review of The Blair Witch Project (1999)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 28 Sep 2014

Feel free to admire it: As a cheeky, clever stunt, it deserves it. Enjoying it fully might be a bit more difficult…

Review of Lost in Space (1998)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 16 Sep 2014

It's too long and a bit clunky, the special effects sometimes slip, and the plot seems at times to be made up as it went along…

Review of The Truman Show (1998)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 17 Aug 2014

Under a cheerfully sunny sky that only heightens the paranoia, it's brilliant in conception and execution, with dozens of bright touches --…

Review of Summer Catch (2001)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 07 Aug 2014

Big chunks of plot seem to be missing, as if left on the editing-room floor so that director Mike Tollin, in his feature debut, can get to…

Review of The Avengers (1998)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 07 Jul 2014

The Avengers is so bad it even elicits a horrible -- even embarrassing -- performance from Sean Connery…

Review of Catwoman (2004)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 16 Jun 2014

Catwoman is worse than bad -- it's boring. So boring it's not even laughable…

Review of L.A. Confidential (1997)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 03 Jun 2014

It doesn't let up for a second, cramming James Ellroy's sprawling novel into a mere 98 minutes. That's both good and bad. The good…

Review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 29 May 2014

This movie doesn't even try to be for everyone, but it will pierce some of you right in the heart. Give it a shot…

Review of Fever Pitch (2005)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 06 May 2014

Review of The Perfect Man (2005)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 06 Jun 2013

It all drags on at a leaden pace, broken up occasionally by a musical montage…

Review of The Boxer (1997)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 13 May 2013

We never figure out, though, what drives Day-Lewis' Danny. We just take it on faith that he's stubborn and sick of violence…

Review of Looper (2012)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 27 Sep 2012

Review of Ruby Sparks (2012)

Review of Ted (2012)

By Matt Soergel (215) for Florida Times-Union (216) on 27 Jun 2012
