Less substantial bookend to Before Sunrise, weighing in at just 80 minutes. While the earlier movie felt fresh, this one came across as obligatory. Nonetheless, the movie updates us on two interesting characters that Before Sunrise l… |

High quality, reasonably engrossing production that seeks to annoy, and succeeds. |

Cute kids turn into real rockers under Jack Black’s masterful tutelage in this classic movie about classic rock. Still funny the third time through, School of Rock charms, tickles and – most importantly – rocks. In the classic words of The School of Rock’s nutty professor – "It’s a toast to…

In the Cut deserves more than mere notoriety for a provocative title and Meg Ryan’s erotic performance, though the latter is monumental – No more RomComs for the RomCom Queen. – and vividly memorable. Slow starting, moody, Jane Campion’s movie finally turns fully creepy 30 min in, not a mome…

Motown rocks ‘cause of the Funk Brothers: snare rhythms, funky bass, tasty guitar, everything percussive, all from the band behind Smokey and Marvin and Diana and Stevie. Need I say more? Didn’t think so. Let’s get it on. The movie informs us right up front that the Funk Brothers "played on …

Infernal Affairs screams Hong Kong 2002. Movie theaters advertise Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones back in black and Harrison Ford as Capt. Alexei Vostrikov. Within that milieu, Alan Mak & Wai-keung Lau’s blockbuster unspools a cop story of such depth, perfection and tension that Martin Scorsese …

At first blush, Punch-Drunk Love presents as merely a high-toned Adam Sandler movie. But hold on Sandler haters, this movie is celebrated by people who wouldn’t be caught dead watching Happy Gilmore. Why? Because it’s a great Hollywood romance, a symp…
