Review of American Hustle (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 11 Dec 2013

[David O.] Russell is not Scorsese. He doesn't do 'cool shots' with the camera…

Review of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 09 Dec 2013

One is allowed to sit back and accept that this will be a trilogy with just a bunch of mildly diverting, often seemingly purposeless loud and…

Review of Twice Born (2012)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Dec 2013

This European production is thoroughly cheesy and phony, nowhere less so than in its florid, undeliverable dialogue, which sounds like it's…

Review of White Reindeer (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Dec 2013

It's technically a black comedy, but it's also an empathetic drama that takes its protagonist's subsequent mental breakdown with bewildering…

Review of Tim's Vermeer (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Dec 2013

As with many good film, it's the destination, not the outcome, that matters, and 'Tim's Vermeer' has the spacious room to allow one to get…

Review of Bettie Page Reveals All (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 06 Dec 2013

It's useful as a point of reference but lousy as a movie. It would, however, have made a beautiful coffee table book…

Review of Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 04 Dec 2013

One can watch 'Inside Llewyn Davis' as a sad (albeit often pitch black funny) drama or a hilarious (albeit often sad) pitch black comedy…

Review of Out of the Furnace (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 04 Dec 2013

It actually has much in common with a film by one of its producers, Ridley Scott's 'The Counselor,' which out-bleaked even the other films…

Review of Oldboy (2013)

Review of Homefront (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 27 Nov 2013

It's a drive-in programmer with a weirdly over-qualified cast - slight but lean and deceptively smarter, in spots, than it lets on…

Review of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 22 Nov 2013

Catching Fire' builds up a head of steam, and at only a few points does it feel like a ridiculous 148 minutes long. And then it just stops…

Review of Delivery Man (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 22 Nov 2013

That one of [Vaughn's] first episodes involves a junkie daughter who ODs is a sign that the drama-comedy mix is way more off than expected…

Review of Philomena (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 22 Nov 2013

[Steve] Coogan ... is a brilliant comedy performer who ought to be nowhere near a crowd-pleasing weepie in which a snob learns to have a heart…

Review of Blue Is the Warmest Color (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

This may be the first awards-gobbling, brutally honest look at lovers that only features one knock-down, drag-out fight…

Review of The Great Beauty (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

The over-length isn't unnecessary - this is a lush film meant to be savored - but even the intentional redundancies start to feel redundant…

Review of At Berkeley (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

With more space than usual - some of his films run only 80-some minutes, others in the 2 1/2 hour range - [Frederick] Wiseman has time to play…

Review of Haunter (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

Without distraction, attention can drift to the poor, cheesy lo-fi effects, which look as shifty as they did in Natali's 'Cypher,' but without…

Review of About Time (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

It never once questions our protagonist's manipulation of time and people, and seems to think one can enjoy a life of true happiness...built…

Review of Thor: The Dark World (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

Review of The Counselor (2013)

By Matt Prigge (853) for Metro (930) on 14 Nov 2013

It aims for the watchability of 'The Big Sleep,' a film so tangled even its author, Raymond Chandler, couldn't explain certain plot mysteries…
