Review of Trishna (2011)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 18 Jul 2012

Review of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Jul 2012

It's not that 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is unnecessary, it's that it sucks - a pale, hollow imitation of a transcendent superhero trilogy…

Review of Savages (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Jul 2012

Savages' falls apart, but it falls apart with a certain integrity - I think that Stone made more or less exactly the movie he wanted…

Review of Spider-Man (1977)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Jul 2012

It's not that 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is unnecessary, it's that it sucks - a pale, hollow imitation of a transcendent superhero trilogy…

Review of Magic Mike (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 28 Jun 2012

The unease builds imperceptibly, until what seemed ecstatic and liberating early in the film becomes profoundly disquieting…

Review of Brave (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 21 Jun 2012

Brave' has a lot to recommend it - but there are a few things missing from its mix of playful comedy and sappy testament to family ties…

Review of Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 23 May 2012

Moonrise Kingdom' made a believer out of a long-time naysayer, and that's really something…

Review of Battleship (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 18 May 2012

I had considerably more fun watching Berg destroy Michael Bay at his own game than watching Joss Whedon try to please everyone in the universe…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 14 May 2012

The Dictator having been stripped of the attention-grabbing reality-show dimension of its predecessors, we are left wondering just what it…

Review of The Cabin in the Woods (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 14 Apr 2012

Toes the line between parody and deconstruction, but it transcends its subject matter rather than just subverting or co-opting it…

Review of American Reunion (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 04 Apr 2012

Maybe most distressing is how retrograde the film feels…

Review of Mirror Mirror (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 28 Mar 2012

This isn't exactly a new vision of 'Snow White.' It's more like a disorganized, ineffectual riff…

Review of John Carter (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 08 Mar 2012

There are more than a few moments that hint at the fantasy classic this might have been. See it in 2D…

Review of Wanderlust (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 23 Feb 2012

Isolated chunks of awesome rather than a coherent whole…

Review of The Vow (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 11 Feb 2012

Since we know exactly where 'The Vow' has to end up, it becomes an inexorable progression from the intriguing to the tedious…

Review of Chronicle (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 02 Feb 2012

It's high-concept, proto-superhero fun on one hand, and on the other an angry, dead-serious story about the pain of being a teenager, and the…

Review of The Grey (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 26 Jan 2012

The film is interested in little but threatening its characters with occasional wolf maulings while they bicker and posture at each other…

Review of Man on a Ledge (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 26 Jan 2012

Review of Contraband (2012)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 12 Jan 2012

Stars Mark Wahlberg in the kind of earnest good-guy role that always exposes the actor's weakness playing characters who aren't aggressive…

Review of Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (2011)
