Review of Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (2007)

By Brian Miller (136) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Oct 2007

Shallow, very officially sanctioned, and overly compressed, The Power of Song plays like a PBS infomercial for the inevitable DVD box set,…

Review of B'ella (2014)

By Julia Wallace (30) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Oct 2007

I won't spoil it, except to say that it manages to be utterly predictable without making any sense at all…

Review of The Living and the Dead (2006)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 22 Oct 2007

This is great filmmaking in the sense that overplayed virtuoso guitar shredding is great music -- which is to say, not at all…

Review of Reservation Road (2007)

By Scott Foundas (913) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Oct 2007

Reservation Road itself may twist and turn into the New England night, but emotionally and dramatically, the movie that bears its name is a dead end…

Review of King Leopold's Ghost (2006)

By Joshua Land (46) for Village Voice (8,525) on 17 Oct 2007

Sleeker and more ambitious than the 2003 BBC-produced Congo: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death, which focused more narrowly on long-suppressed…

Review of What's the Worst That Could Happen? (2001)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 13 Oct 2007

I'd rather watch a forgotten houseplant dehydrate and die…

Review of The Man in the Moon (1991)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 12 Oct 2007

In lesser hands, it would be young-adult fiction, but the coda-“Maybe life’s not supposed to make sense”-is anything but kid stuff…

Review of Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! (2006)

By Laura Sinagra (110) for Village Voice (8,525) on 09 Oct 2007

With Awesome's insistence on professional sound--only a few times do we get sonically dropped into the cavernous, thumping Garden--and cuts…

Review of Shaft (2000)

By J. Hoberman (756) for Village Voice (8,525) on 05 Oct 2007

As an action flick, Shaft is clumsy out of the gate and overfond of hurtling stuntmen through windows…

Review of Satantango (1994)

By Ed Halter (57) for Village Voice (8,525) on 04 Oct 2007

Critics have rightfully hailed Tarr as one of filmdom's criminally undersung geniuses…

Review of Domino (2005)

By Jessica Winter (193) for Village Voice (8,525) on 03 Oct 2007

The script, allegedly by Donnie Darko's Richard Kelly, throws together tangentially related plots like cats in a sack…

Review of Good Night (2008)

By Michelle Orange (458) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2007

Director Jake Paltrow's feature debut has all the hallmarks of an earnest young man's feature debut, and while that is not necessarily a bad…

Review of Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee (2007)

By Nick Pinkerton (448) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2007

By setting the film in a deliberately distanced '70s, writer-director Justin Lin gets the benefit of looking-back-in-superiority…

Review of Michael Clayton (2007)

By Robert Wilonsky (520) for Village Voice (8,525) on 01 Oct 2007

Gilroy's up to the challenge, as is his uniformly astounding cast--Clooney, especially, as the charmed and charming man stripped of his superpowers,…

Review of Dead Silence (2007)

By Jim Ridley (126) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Sep 2007

Dolls are innately unnerving, but the movie's semi-menacing Charlie McCarthys never live up to their potential…

Review of Bad Company (2002)

By Michael Atkinson (678) for Village Voice (8,525) on 30 Sep 2007

Predictably soulless techno-tripe, this Bruckheimer-in-a-can thriller is leavened only by the ludicrous notion of Chris Rock playing separated twins…

Review of 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

By Justine Elias (28) for Village Voice (8,525) on 28 Sep 2007

Anyone who hates '80s pop will find this movie awfully tiresome, but Stiles and her underage Petruchio (Australian actor Heath Ledger, as hunky…

Review of Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock? (2006)

By Jessica Grose (9) for Village Voice (8,525) on 27 Sep 2007

Pollock drags when Horton's offscreen, and with its NPR-inflected narration and executive producer Don Hewitt, the film might have fared better…

Review of The Man of My Life (2006)

By Abigail Deutsch (2) for Village Voice (8,525) on 24 Sep 2007

The film's arresting beauty--shots of a curtain blowing into a shadowed stairwell, or a meadow of sunflowers, or a head resting on a shoulder--is…
