Review of Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

Review of Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? (2012)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

Like its title, Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? purports to ask a question but is only interested in forwarding its predictable agitprop answer…

Review of Let the Bullets Fly (2010)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

Comedy and shifting-allegiances intrigue more than compensate for the dearth of rousing action in this 1920s-set film…

Review of Black Butterflies (2011)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

Review of Boy (2014)

By Melissa Anderson (387) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Feb 2012

E.T., Musical Youth, and Shogun also turn up, but these pop-culture signifiers aren't enough to make up for the lack of a plot (or even a purpose)…

Review of Peepli Live (2010)

By Aaron Hillis (362) for Village Voice (8,525) on 27 Feb 2012

It's an unusual taste of mainstream Indian cinema (or, thanks to superstar Aamir Khan's production company, it's a small film given an unusually…

Review of Birth (2004)

By Dennis Lim (218) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Feb 2012

If Birth succeeds more as a source of visual and aural enthrallment than as supernatural narrative, it's largely because the final third hovers…

Review of Wanderlust (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Feb 2012

Though Wanderlust finally laughs off the real discomforting conclusion that it's edging toward, it's gut-busting funny when mocking their hopeless…

Review of I Trust You to Kill Me (2006)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Feb 2012

Review of How to Start a Revolution (2012)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Feb 2012

How to Start a Revolution plays like a Nobel Prize–campaign film and never once demonstrates an understanding of the distinction between…

Review of Act of Valor (2012)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Feb 2012

The villains come across as individuals rather more compellingly than do the film's ostensible heroes, mostly mouthpieces for warrior credo…

Review of The Forgiveness of Blood (2011)

By Ernest Hardy (466) for Village Voice (8,525) on 21 Feb 2012

Marston nails the claustrophobia of small-town life and the turbulent emotionalism of teenagers, but what pushes the film toward sublimity…

Review of Saint John of Las Vegas (2010)

By Vadim Rizov (155) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Feb 2012

Mostly, Saint John traps good comic performers--including Malco and Peter Dinklage as John's boss--in airless editing and an unproductive,…

Review of The Living Wake (2007)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Feb 2012

From an opening newsreel biography to a climactic Viking funereal ceremony, the film's absurdity proves oppressive, its linguistic cartwheels…

Review of Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (2011)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Feb 2012

Cage-ophiles will find some delectable freakouts in Blaze's transformation - or near transformation - scenes…

Review of Oldboy (2003)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 15 Feb 2012

Review of On the Ice (2011)

By Brian Miller (136) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Feb 2012

On the Ice is a marvel of concentrated, classical storytelling. The flat, snowy landscape strips away all but the essentials from its tale…

Review of Thin Ice (2012)

By Mark Holcomb (179) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Feb 2012

Working the long con and damn near getting away with it, this kissing cousin to Fargo, Cedar Rapids, and Win Win makes for a surprisingly entertaining…
