Review of One Night Stand (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 27 Apr 2013

Doesn't amount to more than a flimsy home-movie portrait of the creative process under time constraints…

Review of A Single Shot (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Apr 2013

Content to faithfully hew to convention, A Single Shot rarely surprises, but its portrait of foolishness and fallibility, and its atmosphere…

Review of Pain & Gain (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Apr 2013

An outrageous based-on-real-life tale that's perfectly suited to director Michael Bay's insanely overblown stylistic and thematic temperament…

Review of All the Boys Love Mandy Lane (2006)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Apr 2013

Like far too many modern horror films, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane flaunts its knowledge of classic genre fundamentals but fails to do anything…

Review of Big Bad Wolves (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Apr 2013

From a purely suspenseful vantage point, Big Bad Wolves is an efficient and effective beast…

Review of The Lords of Salem (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 13 Apr 2013

Rob Zombie understands horror as an aural-visual experience that should gnaw at the nerves, seep into the subconscious, and beget unshakeable…

Review of Fists of Legend (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Apr 2013

The battles are staged with moderate intensity but a dispiriting lack of surprise that's also characteristic of the story in general…

Review of 42 (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Apr 2013

The film elevates the story of Jackie Robinson to that of cornball legend rather than just honoring his legitimately uplifting, heroic saga…

Review of The Brass Teapot (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Apr 2013

Wearing out its welcome long before its moralizing finale, the film...does manage to mine contemporary fears about the increasing worthlessness…

Review of MURPH: The Protector (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 31 Mar 2013

A one-note hagiography, no matter how convincing and affecting its portrait of unimpeachable courage…

Review of Tomorrow You're Gone (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 31 Mar 2013

Hardboiled noir play-acting doesn't get more sluggish than in this leaden tale that blurs the line between reality and delusion in a way that's…

Review of Family Weekend (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 26 Mar 2013

Quirky indie hell, thy name is Family Weekend. Benjamin Epps's film is the very definition of affected cutie-pie whimsy and weirdness…

Review of New World (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 19 Mar 2013

Park's direction is sleek and assured, but lacking the dynamism that might help energize a film that—its title notwithstanding—comes off…

Review of Love and Honor (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 19 Mar 2013

Between the cast's modern hairstyles and attitude, and the paint-by-numbers set design and period costumes...the action comes across as a prolonged,…

Review of My Amityville Horror (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Mar 2013

Whether it was all a haunting or a hoax is left unanswered, but the film leaves little doubt that Amityville's greatest source of evil was,…

Review of Reincarnated (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Mar 2013

The film is as lightweight as the ganja-puffing is plentiful, little more than a vanity project that allows its subject to wax philosophical…

Review of If I Were You (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 11 Mar 2013

A wannabe French-style infidelity farce that keeps indulging in unnecessary bathos and subplots…

Review of Dead Man Down (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Mar 2013

It's all so much turgid brooding, dialogue underlined with import, and leaden symbolism involving Rapace's white and red dresses, none of which…

Review of Emperor (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Mar 2013

Given its true-life basis, the story is already devoid of suspense regarding Hirohito’s ultimate fate, and Fellers’s inquiry is made more…

Review of Stoker (2013)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 26 Feb 2013

Park's methodical but tonally uneven direction too often eschews luridness; it's as if he can't decide exactly how far to push his material…
