Review of Mamma Roma (1962)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 07 Jul 2004

Because it is sublime, and because the confrontation of many of Pasolini's films can be an intimidation, it is among the controversial director's…

Review of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 07 Jun 2004

There are many features that contribute to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly's belated renown, and none as idiosyncratic as Ennio Morricone's score…

Review of Johnson Family Vacation (2004)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 07 Apr 2004

Johnson Family Vacation affords the viewer a single offering of suspense in wondering just how the mode of transportation (a very souped-up…

Review of Santa Sangre (1989)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 24 Feb 2004

Santa Sangre is as familiarly esoteric as Jodorowsky's other efforts, but it possesses very pronounced influences…

Review of Gerry (2002)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 05 Jan 2004

Gerry proposes simplicity; even the most capsulated descriptions of it are dubious…

Review of Watermelon Man (1970)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 20 Nov 2003

It is not the most stalwart ethnological study of its time, though it is significant for its heritage, its confrontation, and its violation of taboos…

Review of Sweet Movie (1974)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 20 Nov 2003

Sweet Movie certainly has varied political aims, but the message is hindered by graphic practices and sex…

Review of Vernon, Florida (1981)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 08 Sep 2003

Vernon at first appears to be an exploitative display of the fluent eccentricities of a rural compendium and becomes collectively applicable,…

Review of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 05 Sep 2003

20,000 Leagues is a sublime story of isolation, of disparate masculine seclusion, akin to those found in such films as Jaws and The Thing…

Review of Rashomon (1950)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 19 May 2003

Rashomon is laudable foremost for its very use of its medium, timelessly engaging, and as singularly influential as any film in history…

Review of Throne of Blood (1957)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 17 May 2003

Its primary source subject to familiarity and its author's trademark apparent, Throne of Blood is nonetheless original, liberally inspired…

Review of Day of the Woman (1978)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 17 May 2003

There is a successful motive at work in I Spit on Your Grave, though its methods of employing it are questionable…

Review of The House on Devils Road (2008)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 07 May 2003

It is a strength of a documentary to disregard available bias, especially as temptingly easy as it would have been with this premise…

Review of Hell House (2001)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 07 May 2003

It is a strength of a documentary to disregard available bias, especially as temptingly easy as it would have been with this premise…

Review of The Graduate (1967)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 16 Apr 2003

Seen in its time, a decade of political identification (sexual, racial, etc.), The Graduate establishes clear pawns, and allows dualistic sympathy…

Review of Short Cuts (1993)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 16 Apr 2003

Short Cuts is deliberately fragmentary, laudable for its individual scenes and even more so for their cohesion…

Review of The Wild Bunch (1969)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 09 Apr 2003

The film does not highlight genre traits, and replaces them with a violence unparalleled in the genre's other entries; it is Sam Peckinpah's…

Review of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 18 Feb 2003

It is style, glamour, and even virtuosic direction (in the inclusive use of so many familiar techniques) that paves Sweetback's value as a…

Review of Stranger Than Paradise (1984)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 04 Feb 2003

Its characters' vacant aspirations are equated by Stranger Than Paradise's lack of conventional purpose - this is the film's idiosyncratic strength…

Review of Walkabout (1971)

By Rumsey Taylor (94) for Not Coming to a Theater Near You (268) on 12 Nov 2002

Walkabout's obvious concern is the relationship between two parties, separated by centuries of diverting societal behaviors, and thus, differentiated…
