Review of Marley & Me (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 07 Jan 2009

The deft touch with which it addresses spouses' and parents' professional and personal trade-offs proves this to be a more substantial and…

Review of The Forbidden Kingdom (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 19 Apr 2008

A slapdash but amiable crossbreed of The Karate Kid and The Wizard of Oz, The Forbidden Kingdom functions as a martial arts cinema primer for…

Review of Shine a Light (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 15 Apr 2008

Shine a Light doesn't break any new ground for Scorsese or the Stones, but it's an enjoyable showcase for the prodigious skills the director…

Review of The Ruins (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 03 Apr 2008

The lack of explanations in The Ruins may prove unsatisfying to some, but the unknown is often more terrifying than the tangible…

Review of Snow Angels (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 27 Mar 2008

Snow Angels can painfully burrow into one's heart, but such is the cost of empathy, or any human connection for that matter…

Review of Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 06 Mar 2008

Shot in widescreen, all the better to appreciate the swanky art deco sets, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day can feel static...but the wonderful…

Review of Cassandra's Dream (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 19 Feb 2008

Cassandra's Dream is not a top-notch Woody Allen film, but this dark drama is a worthy addition to the director's career-long search for meaning…

Review of Dedication (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 12 Feb 2008

Dedication's problem isn't its idealized conception of love but the thoroughly unconvincing way in which it is realized…

Review of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 05 Feb 2008

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly transcends the uplifting movie-of-the-week story through Schnabel's artful direction and deep empathy…

Review of Strange Wilderness (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 02 Feb 2008

Instantly forgettable and proudly lazy, Strange Wilderness feels like it's being made up on the spot…

Review of Meet the Spartans (2008)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 27 Jan 2008

At the risk of praising with faint damning, Meet the Spartans isn't the worst film I've ever seen; however, I'm not suggesting that this feature-length…

Review of The Bucket List (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 12 Jan 2008

Although The Bucket List shouldn't sit well on the stomach, it goes down as easily as meals through an IV…

Review of National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 06 Jan 2008

Practically a duplicate of the breezy (and bloated) original, National Treasure: Book of Secrets is not without charm, but it lacks the thrill…

Review of Margot at the Wedding (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 06 Jan 2008

After choking on laughs for a period, the question becomes whether Baumbach has anything to deliver beyond his misanthropic floggings…

Review of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

By Mark Pfeiffer (406) for Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema (402) on 05 Jan 2008

Review of Enchanted (2007)
