Review of Next (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 26 Apr 2007

The earnestness of Cage and tough-as-nails Moore backfires in the face of godawful dialogue and a very poorly established central conceit…

Review of Next! (1903)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 26 Apr 2007

The earnestness of Cage and tough-as-nails Moore backfires in the face of godawful dialogue and a very poorly established central conceit…

Review of Disturbia (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 12 Apr 2007

Fails on the scores of credibility and originality, but since it's nearly as thrilling as it is unlikely, the picture works out to be trashy fun…

Review of Grindhouse (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 05 Apr 2007

Grindhouse isn't great cinema, but it is a genuine event picture, a rare good reason to venture out on a Friday night with a big crowd and…

Review of Are We Done Yet? (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 05 Apr 2007

Ostensibly, the message...is the difference between an expensive house and a priceless home, but since the message is taught by a greedy psychopath,…

Review of Reign Over Me (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 05 Apr 2007

Builds up a nice head of steam...as a warm and quirky comedy of men trying to be men in a post-feminist world...also succumbs to niggling artificialities…

Review of Black Book (2006)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 05 Apr 2007

Verhoeven doles out his customary boobs, bombs, and blood, but the tension between thrills and serious consequences splits Black Book's difference…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 29 Mar 2007

The script's failure leaves a heavy burden on the cast, and how well they compensate is both a testament to their talent and a waste of it…

Review of Hot Fuzz (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 16 Mar 2007

Endearingly overstuffed...curiously high-strung...[but has] a pleasing sense of the absurd…

Review of 300 (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 09 Mar 2007

Primally, 300 has a grunting, gut impact...Primarily, it's constructed of fudged history and creative slaughtering, making it a somewhat disturbing…

Review of Zodiac (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 01 Mar 2007

Reverent docudrama...to those completely unfamiliar with the case, Zodiac should be every bit as satisfying as a true-crime paperback…

Review of Reno 911!: Miami (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 23 Feb 2007

While it's intermittently amusing, none of this was appointment television to begin with, so it's hard to imagine big crowds shelling out for…

Review of The Number 23 (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 23 Feb 2007

Though the holes were rather small, I had to count them all. Now we know how many holes it takes to fill The Number 23…

Review of Breach (2007)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 16 Feb 2007

Ray isn't beyond teasing out implications from his true stories, but he's also smart enough to know where to quit, allowing the viewer to resolve…

Review of Inland Empire (2006)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 10 Feb 2007

In his 36 years of filmmaking, David Lynch has never been more fearless or more fearsome...Inland Empire brims with surprising and scary images…

Review of Factory Girl (2014)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 09 Feb 2007

Sedgwick's thoroughly photographed life would doubtless make an engrossing documentary (a genre to which Hickenlooper ought to stick)…

Review of Becket (1964)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 08 Feb 2007

A power play about power plays, Jean Anouilh's now-classic Becket provided the basis for one of the great screen pairings…

Review of The Dead Girl (2006)

By Peter Canavese (1,744) for Groucho Reviews (1,725) on 08 Feb 2007
