Review of Musical Chairs (2012)

By Eric Hynes (189) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

All would be forgiven if Seidelman weren't so damningly dispassionate about dance, cutting up and away from movement and devaluing the thing…

Review of October Baby (2011)

By Michelle Orange (458) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

A slick piece of pro-life propaganda, it has relatively luxe production values, painfully earnest performances, and a drippy inspirational score…

Review of The Raid (2012)

By Ernest Hardy (466) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

Lean, fast-moving, and filled with game-changing fight sequences that have a brutally beautiful (or beautifully brutal) quality, Gareth Evans's…

By Aaron Hillis (362) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Mar 2012

Review of Free Men (2011)

By Benjamin Mercer (70) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Free Men never feels like a movie about a developing conscience, due largely to the shallowness of the protagonist as written and, by extension,…

Review of Casa de Mi Padre (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

The humor doesn't only target south of the border. Like any good genre product, Casa also smuggles in rude social criticism…

Review of Pray for Japan (2012)

By Ernest Hardy (466) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Filmed over a period of six weeks and supplemented with animated music sequences and chilling news footage of the terrifying deluge, Pray is…

Natural Selection mixes elements of Transamerica and the recent Higher Ground to tell the story of how a God-fearing fortysomething woman found…

Review of Detachment (2011)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Movies about teachers are flypaper for overblown armchair crusaderism, and this overbearingly cynical attempt gets my vote for worst offender yet…

Review of 21 Jump Street (2012)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Though these mismatched cops bounce well off each other, Tatum, in his first comedic lead role, is the better performer, both more riotous…

Review of Seeking Justice (2011)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Seeking Justice is the kind of effective middle-range pulp thriller that has lately become an endangered species…

Review of Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2012)

By Brian Miller (136) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Jeff is a surprisingly mutable, ultimately poignant day-in-the-life drama about a slacker who genuinely wants to stand tall…

Review of The FP (2011)

By Eric Hynes (189) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Mar 2012

Infinitely better as a beer-goggled pitch than as a feature film, The FP never gets beyond the studied novelty of its own pose…

Review of The Forsaken Land (2005)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Mar 2012

Beautiful but withholding, The Forsaken Land doesn't offer much in the way of explanation -- the soundtrack features more birdcalls than dialogue…

Review of Clouds (2000)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Mar 2012

Has nice, pearly, black-and-white cinematography, but it also has the shocking temerity to run over 100 minutes. Sweet air is required…

Review of The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

By Nathan Lee (205) for Village Voice (8,525) on 10 Mar 2012

I was moved by Darjeeling, flaws and all, but if my job is to explain why, I find it difficult for reasons that are none of my business…

Review of City by the Sea (2002)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Mar 2012

Review of John Carter (2012)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Mar 2012
