Review of Role Models (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 12 Nov 2008

Review of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 10 Nov 2008

Review of Saw V (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 31 Oct 2008

Square in the middle of the series, quality-wise: though the new film has some unabashedly dumb moments, its plot lacks the pathetic contortions…

Review of Changeling (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 29 Oct 2008

Like listening to a great violinist scraping the bow across the strings: for the most part it's quite beautiful, but the scratches are what stand out…

Review of High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 27 Oct 2008

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 27 Oct 2008

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 25 Oct 2008

Silly beyond words, but it's the kind of silly that's also incredible fun and awesome, especially if you are or once were or ever wanted to…

Review of The Satanic Rites of Dracula (1973)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 24 Oct 2008

An original direction to take a tremendously played-out franchise, but I think I'd have been happier with no eighth Dracula film at all, rather…

Review of Synecdoche, New York (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 23 Oct 2008

Whatever work it takes to unpack the film's levels upon levels of meaning, it's not worth it... Unremittingly grim, without any spark of life…

Review of Scars of Dracula (1970)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 20 Oct 2008

A rattling collection of warmed-over ideas filmed on a paltry budget...doesn't do anything that Dracula and Prince of Darkness didn't already…

Review of Rachel Getting Married (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 13 Oct 2008

A great example of a little movie, both in its story and its aesthetic; it's also a reminder that littleness doesn't keep a film from touching…

Review of Dracula Has Risen from the Grave (1968)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 11 Oct 2008

The film props itself up mostly on [director] Francis's often-thrilling visual sense, and the visceral impact of the first and final scenes…

Review of Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)

Review of Choke (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 01 Oct 2008

It wants to be sleazy, or at least naughty; it's only tired. And it's just too slight to really say much more for or against it…
