By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 22 Sep 2014

Review of The Equalizer (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 22 Sep 2014

Yet another artifact of the long stagnation of Hollywood, which has been remaking the same movies over and over and over again for the past 30 years…

Review of The Riot Club (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 17 Sep 2014

Hooray for a good old-fashioned rich-bastard bashing. But they get the last laugh: These guys are the future masters of the universe. Hooray…

Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Sep 2014

A flimsy trifle, but a diverting one. Colin Firth is absolutely hilarious, and the re-creation of the 1920s French Riviera is gorgeous…

Review of 20,000 Days on Earth (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Sep 2014

An unclassifably weird hybrid of documentary, fiction, and stream-of-consciousness meditation on the creative life, according to Renaissance…

Review of Pride (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 11 Sep 2014

Review of The Boxtrolls (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 10 Sep 2014

There's a fine line between baroque and grotesque... and The Boxtrolls crosses it. Here is a film that actively makes you want to look away…

Review of The Guest (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 08 Sep 2014

[C]inema is over, man, and there's nothing left but a death spiral of sarcastic self-reference reflecting and refracting around a dismal hall…

Review of Life of Crime (2013)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 04 Sep 2014

Low-key black comedy and sporadic horror lazily pop up among the crime drama, but never enough of either to score many zings…

Review of Sex Tape (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 03 Sep 2014

Color me absolutely astonished that this is genuinely sweet and wholly sex-positive. Unfortunately, it's also completely unfunny…

Review of Obvious Child (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 28 Aug 2014

Beautifully redresses how the realities of women's lives are too often ignored on film... and does so with startling raw power and humor…

Review of If I Stay (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 28 Aug 2014

Honest, emotional teen melodrama with a great performance by Chloë Grace Moretz that serves as a beautiful metaphor for the choices that teen…

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 28 Aug 2014

An essential - and enraging - documentary about the life, career, and death of Internet activist Aaron Swartz, a danger to corporate hegemony…

Review of Rich Hill (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 26 Aug 2014

A portrait of small-town American poverty in which compassion for its subjects is matched only by a caustic undercurrent of rage at the utter…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 21 Aug 2014

In this pile of adolescent heavy-metal-deep pseudo-sci-fi philosophy, the meaning of humanity (or lack thereof) depends on how cool something…

Review of Into the Storm (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 20 Aug 2014

A movie to make you despair of the found-footage conceit (if you weren't already). Suddenly Twister looks like Shakespeare…

Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 19 Aug 2014
