Review of A Brief History of Time (1991)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 17 Mar 2014

[The film has] a sophisticated agenda that's more about association than data or personal trivia, and Morris' philosophy takes it to places…

Review of Elf (2003)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 14 Mar 2014

Review of Bad Words (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 14 Mar 2014

Nearly everything good about Bad Words plays off the yin-and-yang dynamic between Guy and Chaitanya—one an endless wellspring of belligerence,…

Review of Shattered Glass (2003)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 13 Mar 2014

Shattered Glass simply sinks its teeth into a juicy story, never better than when Sarsgaard methodically paints the sniveling Christensen into…

Review of Teenage (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 13 Mar 2014

Matt Wolf’s innovative documentary is a bracing reminder that the notion of adolescence as distinct from childhood and adulthood is a relatively…

Review of Elephant (2003)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 09 Mar 2014

Review of Saw (2004)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 06 Mar 2014

Though dumber than a box of rocks, Saw forges ahead with the kind of conviction and energy that will keep bad-cinema junkies sitting bolt upright…

Review of The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 06 Mar 2014

There’s nothing lost in his continued refinement of style; if anything, it makes the pleasures of his work that much more acute…

Review of Non-Stop (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 26 Feb 2014

Neeson’s innate dignity can often serve as a gravitational force for movies this ludicrous, but in a cabin filled with so much flying debris,…

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 25 Feb 2014

The film advances some harsh truths about the spoils of money-grubbing savagery…

Review of American Teen (2008)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 20 Feb 2014

Though it's compelling enough as soap opera, American Teen digs deeply into why kids grudgingly accept the roles they've been given and the…

Review of RoboCop (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 12 Feb 2014

There’s no harmony at all to the elements tossed into the new remake of RoboCop, but credit screenwriter Joshua Zetumer and director José…

Review of Lucky Bastard (2014)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 12 Feb 2014

Lucky Bastard mostly combines the worst of all worlds: the less-clever-than-it-thinks script of old-school porn, the piercing brightness and…

Review of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 07 Feb 2014

Save for the thrilling opening sequence, there's not much to remember about the film beyond Staunton (Vera Drake), who masks her bottomless…

Review of At Middleton (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 06 Feb 2014

Review of A Beautiful Mind (2001)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for AV Club (2,778) on 04 Feb 2014

It's not a crime for the script to gloss over the thornier aspects of Nash's story, but the film seems totally unconvincing, squeezing a real…

Review of The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Feb 2014

Damon's minimalist style is key to why the Bourne movies have become an oasis from other blockbuster action fare…

Review of Stranger by the Lake (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 03 Feb 2014

Even when the plot kicks in and the stakes get raised, there’s a casualness to Guiraudie’s approach that’s singular and admirably defiant…

Review of Big Bad Wolves (2013)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 31 Jan 2014

Keshales and Papushado have great filmmaking chops—as Israeli imports go, this is as far from the austere norm as it gets—but there’s…

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 30 Jan 2014
