Review of The Possession (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

While frustratingly vague in terms of character and motivation, The Possession is among the more competent of recent studio horror efforts…

Review of Battleship (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

This cheap-looking dung heap doesn't even bother hiding its contempt for paying audiences, and the lack of pretension almost justifies the…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

Essentially stupid, but stylistically invigorating, like watching a genius muck about with finger paints like a child on a sugar high…

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

Insulting lip service to 2001 notwithstanding, Prometheus shocks and awes with more than sufficient technical bravura…

Review of Arbitrage (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

Inadvertently pandering on just about every level, except for the end credits, which are quite likely intended to rapidly vacate the theater…

Review of This Is Not a Film (2011)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

The truth of what is and isn't lies deep between the lines of this brilliantly elusive meta-commentary, arguably the greatest Iranian film…

Review of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

There's enough that works in The Dark Knight Rises that I can overlook most of the more glaring flaws, but it remains to date the most disappointing…

Review of Atlas Shrugged: Part II (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

The Bad Boys II of ****ty propaganda films, morally and aesthetically corrupt yet compulsively watchable in the broad strokes…

Review of The Expendables 2 (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

Enjoyable, but disappointingly tame compared to its ferocious predecessor. The Expendables 2 is disposable…

Review of 4:44 Last Day on Earth (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

Intermittently captures the sense of human desperation it strives for, as if to say the best we can hope for is to crawl past the finish line…

Review of Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

I laughed, and frequently. There are also images I can now never forget, and kind of want to…

Review of Your Sister's Sister (2011)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

What could have been trite male wish-fulfillment is instead beholden to genuinely messy revelations: life as a tattered, living quilt we sew…

Review of Total Recall (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

While far from terrible, this retread forgoes any qualities to justify its existence in the first place. It will be justly forgotten before long…

Review of Take This Waltz (2011)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

Polley's sophomore feature fumbles between reality and fantasy, often insightful but frequently ungrounded. Dig that carnival ride, though…

Review of Cloud Atlas (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

But for an unnecessary insistence on reinforcing its own themes and motifs, this might have been a great film. I'm still pleased it exists at all…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

So precise it could be alien, so raw and aching it has to be human. Competes with the best of Anderson. A film to be celebrated…

Review of Killer Joe (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 05 Nov 2012

The humor magnifies the horror, and vice versa. Like the inflammatory Dr…

Review of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 22 Oct 2012

Even at its most arm-twistingly obvious, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel ultimately ended up leaving me somewhere close to smitten…

Review of Brother (2010)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Sep 2012

Venezuelan filmmaker Marcel Rasquin's Hermano is a well-meaning melodrama, equal parts heartfelt and contrived…

Review of Ted (2012)

By Rob Humanick (476) for Projection Booth (270) on 30 Jul 2012

Only a protracted fight between the titular fuzzball and a well-cast Mark Wahlberg begins to tap into the absurd potential of the concept…
