Review of The Puffy Chair (2006)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

Review of Art School Confidential (2006)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

Review of LOL (2012)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

Review of Choke (1971)

Review of The Science of Sleep (2006)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

Review of Stephanie Daley (2007)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

There's a rawness to [it]...it paints slick composition and beautiful, bleeding color on the kind of story about sex and faith that no one…

Review of The Treatment (2007)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

Its otherwise straightforward narrative does what it can to revive the corpse of grown-up romance, with just enough surrealism to save the…

Review of Factotum (2005)

By Karina Longworth (242) for Cinematical (752) on 01 Feb 2008

Will not please devotees of narrative closure, but it's a must for anyone who lives by our hero's credo: 'If you're going to try, go all the…

Review of Assassination of a High School President (2008)

By James Rocchi (1,075) for Cinematical (752) on 29 Jan 2008

Review of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (2008)

By Scott Weinberg (1,998) for Cinematical (752) on 28 Jan 2008

I can automatically assume that the characters are a lot more multi-dimensional in Chabon's book -- because in the movie they're pretty much…

By Scott Weinberg (1,998) for Cinematical (752) on 28 Jan 2008

Trim a good twenty minutes from this overlong exercise, and you'd help the comedic pacing a whole lot…

Review of Good Dick (2008)

By Scott Weinberg (1,998) for Cinematical (752) on 28 Jan 2008

Not your traditional boy-meets-girl story, but it does an excellent job of delivering two fairly unique characters trapped in a seriously strange…

Review of The Air I Breathe (2007)

By Christopher Campbell (291) for Cinematical (752) on 25 Jan 2008

None of the four morality plays ... are necessarily original in plot, nor is the film itself particularly innovative in its structure…

Review of U2 3D (2008)

By Christopher Campbell (291) for Cinematical (752) on 20 Jan 2008
