Review of The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Jan 2015

Flawed but genuinely creepy ghost story The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is disappointing, but only because it comes close to greatness…

Review of Song of the Sea (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 19 Dec 2014

Visually splendid, but generically flat-footed, Song of the Sea is an animated fantasy that comes close to greatness, but is rarely as clever…

Review of The Color of Time (2012)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 12 Dec 2014

The Color of Time has considerable ambition, but no inner life…

Review of We Are the Giant (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Dec 2014

Barker's tactlessness wouldn't be so bad if he weren't too high on his own patchwork rhetoric to ask his subjects what specifically motivates them…

Review of Immoral Tales (1974)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Dec 2014

Borowczyk's cruel attempts at social commentary are mollified significantly by his probing fascination with the female body…

Review of Murder of a Cat (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 05 Dec 2014

Even if you can accept that there's nothing inherently wrong with being a little misanthropic in the right context, you'll probably find that…

Review of Penguins of Madagascar (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 25 Nov 2014

Plays like a sampler of Dreamworks Animation's worst creative impulses: sugar-rush pacing, pandering meta-gags, and a slick, flavorless animation…

Review of Extraterrestrial (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 21 Nov 2014

Extraterrestrial never settles into a groove, and therefore never becomes more than a collection of effectively icky scenes…

Review of Pulp: a Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 19 Nov 2014

Cocker's magnetic persona is a huge part of Pulp's identity, but it's not the band's greatest legacy…

Review of Reach Me (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Nov 2014

Writer/director John Herzfeld (15 Minutes, Two of a Kind) earnestly tries and spectacularly fails to dilute the acrid pretentiousness of Reach…

Review of Wolves (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 14 Nov 2014

Wolves is consequently too violent to be a Twilight knockoff, and too cuddly to be an effectively freaky tale of a boy who, to paraphrase Werewolf…

Review of Starry Eyes (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 14 Nov 2014

As gory as it is corrosively cynical, a supernatural mood piece that's equally influenced by the arthouse horror movies of David Lynch and…

Review of Penance (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 11 Nov 2014

While it doesn't cohere into anything more substantial than a collection of self-loathing anxieties, Japanese teledrama Penance is effectively…

Review of On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Nov 2014

If anything unites On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter's cyclists, it's Brown and Rousseau's inability to highlight their subjects' most singular…

Review of Point and Shoot (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 31 Oct 2014

Point and Shoot consequently feels like a film made by a storyteller — not a journalist — who doesn't know he can ask follow-up questions…

Review of Ouija (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Oct 2014

First-time director Stiles White's effective use of long takes and director of photography David Emmerichs's wide-angle digital cinematography…

Review of Revenge of the Green Dragons (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 28 Oct 2014

By widening the scope of their based-on-a-true story, the makers of Revenge of the Green Dragon make their subjects look like the products…

Review of Felony (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Oct 2014

The three lead actors are limited by their characters' kiddy-pool-shallow behavior…

Review of Felony (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Oct 2014

The three lead actors are limited by their characters' kiddy-pool-shallow behavior…

Review of The Book of Life (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Oct 2014

The film's rote right-makes-might fantasy wouldn't be so obnoxious if pandering to the lowest common denominator wasn't its default mode…
