Review of Dead Snow (2009)

By Chuck Wilson (418) for Village Voice (8,525) on 20 Apr 2009

For more than half of this 90-minute film, director Tommy Wirkola plays things pretty straight--a mistake, perhaps, since the first half is…

Review of The Brown Bunny (2003)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Apr 2009

It's genuinely elemental, embarrassingly sincere. You can't accuse Gallo of pandering to anyone but himself…

Review of Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008)

By Scott Foundas (913) for Village Voice (8,525) on 15 Apr 2009

Allen has crafted a wry and thoughtful film about the peculiar stirrings of the heart that is certainly his most accomplished piece of work…

Review of Sin Nombre (2009)

By Scott Foundas (913) for Village Voice (8,525) on 14 Apr 2009

Lushly photographed and meticulously sound-designed, Sin Nombre is visceral without being vital, researched without ever seeming lived-in…

Review of Oblivion (2008)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Apr 2009

The result is a tender, poetically aimless movie by someone who no longer dwells among these stoic people, but feels like she might be the…

Review of Finding Amanda (2008)

By Ella Taylor (978) for Village Voice (8,525) on 08 Apr 2009

By keeping the tone light, the players human (Steve Coogan has a nice turn as a greasy casino host), and never, ever romanticizing the addict,…

Review of Lymelife (2008)

By Scott Foundas (913) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Apr 2009

Given how steeped it is in symbolic portent, Lymelife proves surprisingly watchable from moment to moment, thanks to the uniformly fine playing…

Review of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (2008)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Apr 2009

Mena Suvari, as Art's vindictive ex-fuckbuddy, gives sole signs of life--Miller is so void of presence that one can forget she's in the movie…

Review of Observe and Report (2009)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 07 Apr 2009

Broad but thin and more bleak than uproarious--a humorously downsized homage to foundational '70s classics like Dirty Harry and, especially,…

Review of The Grace Lee Project (2005)

By Dennis Lim (218) for Village Voice (8,525) on 06 Apr 2009

A breezy first-person video essay that goes in search of the average Asian American woman, all the while wondering if there is in fact such a thing…

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 02 Apr 2009

Rebney's good-natured calm and apparent indifference to his Internet notoriety initially foils the filmmaker…

Review of Cast Away (2000)

While Robinson Crusoe was a paean to the practical middle-class virtues that allowed its industrious hero (and the nation he represents) to…

Review of Get Smart (2008)

Review of Fast & Furious (2009)

By Nicolas Rapold (488) for Village Voice (8,525) on 31 Mar 2009

Fast & Furious reconfirms that car-chase movies--good, bad, or mediocre--all assume the future employment of the quaint old fast-forward button…

Review of Enlighten Up! (2008)
