Review of Strictly Ballroom (1992)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 02 Feb 2005

The dance-film equivalent of a female impersonator: The movie is absurd and sincere at the same time-it offers an insolent facsimile of grand passion…

Review of South Central (1992)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 24 Jan 2005

Whatever its melodramatic shortcomings, South Central offers a wrenching view of modern youth-gang violence by demonstrating, with desperate…

Review of Afterglow (1997)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 13 Jan 2005

Romantic comedies usually strike one or two moods, but in Afterglow, the writer-director Alan Rudolph runs through rainbows of feeling in a…

Review of Backdraft (1991)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 09 Jan 2005

Fire, as this movie makes clear, is nothing if not photogenic, and Howard has done a beautiful job of conjuring both its danger and its deceptive,…

Review of Hot Shots! Part Deux (1993)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 07 Jan 2005

Much of the time, the film itself veers perilously close to becoming the sort of high- body-count action spectacular it’s supposed to be…

Review of Darkness (2005)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 05 Jan 2005

We know that the house is haunted, because the family who's just moved in has to deal with the lights always flickering out…

Review of Darkness (2009)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 05 Jan 2005

His (Gibson) slow-burn fury keeps the movie going, but not enough to invest us in any justice beyond payback…

Review of The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 05 Jan 2005

Director Niels Mueller's attempt to create a middle-class Taxi Driver (he tips his hand a bit smugly by respelling Byck's name to evoke Travis…

Review of Penumbra (2013)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 05 Jan 2005

Into Darkness is a sleek, thrilling epic that's also a triumphantly witty popcorn morality play. It's everything you could want in a Star Trek movie…

Review of Romance (1999)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 02 Jan 2005

The movie is a footnote as well, a minor reference back to the days when people yearned for a cinema that was serious and erotic at the same time…

Review of Ice Age (2002)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 19 Dec 2004

Ice Age never matches the brilliance of ''Toy Story'' or the heartfelt heft of ''Shrek,'' but it's an antic and sweet-spirited pleasure…

Review of Million Dollar Baby (2004)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 15 Dec 2004

A movie of tough excitement and surprise, even grace…

Review of House of Flying Daggers (2004)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 06 Dec 2004

An outrageously gorgeous spectacle of balletic aggression…

Review of Chain Reaction (1996)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 04 Dec 2004

Chain Reaction, while crisply shot, unfolds in an action-suspense-thriller void…

Review of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story (1993)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 03 Dec 2004

If anything holds Dragon together, it’s Jason Scott Lee’s intensely likable performance…

Review of Remember the Titans (2000)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 03 Dec 2004

Denzel Washington, by now, could do this sort of role in his sleep…

Review of The Big Red One (1980)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 02 Dec 2004

Lee Marvin, it must be said, is terrific as the platoon commander, and Fuller deserves props for the film's one sustained sequence: the D-Day…

Review of Christmas with the Kranks (2004)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 24 Nov 2004

In its hostile sitcom way, Christmas With the Kranks is a paranoid comic nightmare of conformity gone mad…

Review of The Fourth War (1990)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 16 Nov 2004
