Review of Changeling (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 24 Oct 2008

It's long and messy, covering all the bases and then some, but it's also fantastically entertaining. Its 140 minutes feel more like 90…

Review of The Secret Life of Bees (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 16 Oct 2008

Mostly, this is Hollywood excess the way I like to see it: skillfully done, and with a beating heart…

Review of Sex Drive (2003)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 16 Oct 2008

A thoroughly clichéd virginity-deadline teen comedy with none of American Pie's trangsressiveness (it's hard, these days) and little of Superbad's…

Review of Body of Lies (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 08 Oct 2008

Easily the smartest film to date about the post-9/11 'war on terror…

Review of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 02 Oct 2008

If we're going to have a comic recycle his schtick, there are few I'd prefer to Cera, whose hesitant, awkwardly verbal stock character is one…

Review of Nights in Rodanthe (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 25 Sep 2008

Okay, look: everybody has got to stop crying…

Review of The Brothers Bloom (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Sep 2008

The Brothers Bloom doesn't live up to Johnson's debut, true, but few films could. This is hardly a sophomore slump…

Review of RocknRolla (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Sep 2008

All posturing and artifice -- not cool or funny, though sometimes scary in its nihilism and flippancy…

Review of Tropic Thunder (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 12 Aug 2008

It never develops its clever ideas, it just repeats them until they're played out. By the end of the film there's nothing left…

Review of The Dark Knight (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 16 Jul 2008

It's a movie about America, terrorism and the rule of law; about heroism and human nature. The dude in the bat suit is just window-dressing…

Review of Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 09 Jul 2008

Meant as a non-stop roller-coaster ride, it mistakes spectacle for energy, fancy effects for wonder, and a lazy meta-plot for a clever update…

Review of Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 09 Jul 2008

I wanted to like the movie more; there's plenty here for a cinephile to dig…

Review of The Love Guru (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 18 Jun 2008

The film has no discernible rhythm, little in the way of wit, and the plot plays like Myers considered it an unpleasant obligation…

Review of Kung Fu Panda (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Jun 2008

Why create a universe this utterly gonzo if all you're going to do is repeat the same 'believe-in-yourself' and 'everyone-is-special' pablum…

Review of You Don't Mess with the Zohan (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Jun 2008

No matter what you think about Zohan's humor or its politics, in no universe should it have been longer than 85 minutes. 112 is punishment…

Review of Sex and the City (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 28 May 2008

I guess I can be most useful to this weekend's potential drag-alongs: it's not excruciating. I was never more than mildly annoyed…
