Review of The Catechism Cataclysm (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 15 Oct 2011

The film is an 80-minute shaggy-dog story about the seductive power of storytelling and the weird places it can transport us; too bad writer-…

Review of Carnage (2002)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 29 Sep 2011

The most striking thing about Carnage, Roman Polanski's adaptation of Yazmin Reza's stiff but satisfying stage play God of Carnage, is how…

Review of Carnage (2014)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 29 Sep 2011

The most striking thing about Carnage, Roman Polanski's adaptation of Yazmin Reza's stiff but satisfying stage play God of Carnage, is how…

Review of Carnage (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 29 Sep 2011

Review of Carnage (1984)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 29 Sep 2011

The most striking thing about Carnage, Roman Polanski's adaptation of Yazmin Reza's stiff but satisfying stage play God of Carnage, is how…

Review of Shark Night 3D (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 01 Sep 2011

It's refreshing to see Shark Night 3D director David R…

Review of Zookeeper (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Jul 2011

It's monumentally terrible. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son now has competition for worst picture of the year…

Review of Delhi Belly (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 28 Jun 2011

In spite of its conspicuously crude sense of humor, Delhi Belly is much more family-minded and innocent than it would like its young target…

Review of Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 14 Jun 2011

If you're wondering where the Jim Carrey of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber fame went, don't look to Mr. Popper's Penguins for answers…

Review of Thor (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 08 May 2011

Thor continues the trend of weakly jumpstarting a franchise based on a Marvel comic with an instantly forgettable origin story…

Review of BMX Bandits (1983)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 06 May 2011

Ignoring the fact that BMX Bandits is as intimate as a trip to Toys “R” Us, it has almost nothing to offer in the way of impressive stuntwork,…

Review of Let the Bullets Fly (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 29 Apr 2011

The world of difference in tone and content between actor-turned-director Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly and his masterful Devils on the Doorstep…

Review of Neon Flesh (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 27 Apr 2011

With no slick moves and no brains backing its skuzzy narrative, Neon Flesh is just a proudly tacky film about unconscionably tawdry people…

Review of Puncture (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Apr 2011

Puncture's story only moves forward thanks to Evans's charm. But a good lead performance can't single-handedly save thin material…

Review of Puncture (1967)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Apr 2011

Puncture's story only moves forward thanks to Evans's charm. But a good lead performance can't single-handedly save thin material…

Review of A Quiet Life (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 21 Apr 2011

Claudio Cupellini's A Quiet Life works best if you think of it as a divergent alternative scenario for Toni Servillo's character in The Consequences…

Review of Your Highness (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 12 Apr 2011

Pot comedies may not be rocket science but a few more script revisions would have probably gone a long way here…

Review of The Hitcher (1986)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 28 Mar 2011

That kind of nonstop self-seriousness should wear thin after a while but director Robert Harmon makes the screenplay's unabashed cruelty more…

Review of Tyrannosaur (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 25 Mar 2011

The brutality of Tyrannosaur isn't so over the top as to make director Paddy Considine's sympathy for his flawed characters look like a sham…
