Review of Lawless Heart (2002)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 30 Apr 2003

It's dedicated to a fuller understanding of the human condition, a deeper appreciation of everything we take for granted in even the messiest…

Review of Le Cercle Rouge (1970)

By Bruce Newman (268) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 30 Apr 2003

Cercle's set piece -- which arrives well beyond the midpoint -- never has the carat-weight of the gem mounted in the middle of Rififi, but…

Review of X2 (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 30 Apr 2003

It's as superfluous as it is redundant: X-haust to the nth power…

Review of The Man Without a Past (2002)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 23 Apr 2003

Review of A Mighty Wind (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 15 Apr 2003

This stuff is sporadically amusing but never laugh-out-loud funny because we never escape the feeling that the gang is coasting until a more…

Review of House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 13 Apr 2003

Parts have been cannibalized from better shockers and, worse, the stitches holding them together are so obvious they glow in the dark…

Review of Stevie (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 10 Apr 2003

While ostensibly about how the System failed Stevie, this documentary is, of course, really about James who frets, ad nauseam, about his own…

Review of Better Luck Tomorrow (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 09 Apr 2003

Review of Anger Management (2003)

By Bruce Newman (268) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 09 Apr 2003

With Sandler as his simpering straight man, Nicholson makes faces shamelessly, rude noises shamefully, but he can't make Anger Management funny…

Review of The Core (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 27 Mar 2003

For all its predictability and cornball heroics, this adventure is as sleek and efficient as its inner-spacecraft…

Review of Irreversible (2002)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 13 Mar 2003

Once the shock wears off and feeling returns to the extremities, Irreversible is unmistakably life-altering and affirming…

Review of Laurel Canyon (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 13 Mar 2003

Thank goodness for Nivola ... who makes a charming degenerate, and McDormand in her sexiest role to date. They make up for a bunch of sins…

Review of Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 27 Feb 2003

Review of The Life of David Gale (2003)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for San Jose Mercury News (757) on 20 Feb 2003

Review of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
