Garbo Talks (1984) 57% EDIT “"Garbo Talks" is Lumet in a lighter vein than usual, and the result is delightful.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Aug 22, 2021 Full Review 7 Chinese Brothers (2015) 73% 2.5/4 EDIT “Schwartzman is great at making Harry both sharply intelligent and not nearly as clever as he thinks he is. You also sense, in some lost look in his eye, a faint realization that life is passing him by.” – Seattle Times Aug 27, 2015 Full Review American Ultra (2015) 44% 2.5/4 EDIT “The tenderness in some of the early scenes took me by surprise. But then gore and general cartoonishness took over.” – Seattle Times Aug 20, 2015 Full Review Tusk (2014) 45% 0/4 EDIT “The most disgusting and pointless movie I've seen. Emphasis on pointless. I spent half the movie sick to my stomach.” – Seattle Times Sep 18, 2014 Full Review Dolphin Tale 2 (2014) 66% 1.5/4 EDIT “The original "Dolphin Tale" was so anodyne it felt like a 1950s TV series: episodic problems resolved in an ultrasafe atmosphere, often by parental, generally fatherly, advice. This is more of the same.” – Seattle Times Sep 11, 2014 Full Review The Strange Color of Your Body's Tears (2013) 51% 1.5/4 EDIT “I found a few lines and images in the second half intellectually stimulating, but it wasn't enough. "Strange Color" exploited little but my patience.” – Seattle Times Sep 4, 2014 Full Review When the Game Stands Tall (2014) 21% 1.5/4 EDIT “The movie raises religious and philosophical questions about whether what we put out in the world is returned to us, but it sticks with the ultimate American answer: There is no problem so great that winning a football game won't solve it.” – Seattle Times Aug 21, 2014 Full Review The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1999) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “Hank Greenberg is an unabashed paean and just a joy to watch. It should be required viewing for all modern athletes who disregard their role-model status.” – Seattle Times Oct 28, 2011 Full Review Alien (1979) 93% 4/4 EDIT “The most startling thing watching Alien again is its pacing. For the first 45 minutes, little happens. It's all slow, exquisite build-up, which makes the second half seem all the more horrific.” – Seattle Times Oct 28, 2011 Full Review On a Tightrope (2007) 3/4 EDIT “Lom, and the children, find balance and hope.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 19, 2007 Full Review Tell Them Who You Are (2004) 88% 4/4 EDIT “A hilarious, poignant documentary from Mark Wexler, son of famous cinematographer Haskell Wexler, about his irascible, politically headstrong father.” – Minneapolis Star Tribune Apr 14, 2005 Full Review Coach Carter (2005) 63% 2/4 EDIT “Must decency be dull?” – Seattle Times Jan 14, 2005 Full Review Elektra (2005) 11% 0.5/4 EDIT “It's opaque where it should be clear (motivations; fight scenes). It's clear where it should be opaque (what happens next).” – Seattle Times Jan 14, 2005 Full Review 6ixtynin9 (1999) 94% 3/4 EDIT “It's Ratanaruang's stylish direction that recommends the movie.” – Seattle Times Dec 31, 2004 Full Review The Manson Family (2003) 68% 1/4 EDIT “A nauseating mlange.” – Seattle Times Dec 17, 2004 Full Review Blade: Trinity (2004) 24% 2/4 EDIT “Our obsession with style over substance is becoming pathological. When are we going to get sick of this stuff?” – Seattle Times Dec 8, 2004 Full Review Overnight (2003) 78% 3/4 EDIT “Overnight is a pungent documentary that details the awful, groping evanescence of Hollywood buzz.” – Seattle Times Dec 3, 2004 Full Review Go Further (2003) 57% 1.5/4 EDIT “You want to yell 'Focus!' not at the projectionist in the booth but at the activists on the screen.” – Seattle Times Nov 12, 2004 Full Review End of the Century (2003) 95% 3/4 EDIT “A satisfying, straightforward documentary with great archive footage and interviews with band members ... and those they influenced.” – Seattle Times Oct 29, 2004 Full Review Modern Times (1936) 98% 4/4 EDIT “Good physical comedy will always be funny, and Chaplin was a master.” – Seattle Times Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Surviving Christmas (2004) 8% EDIT “There's a lot to not buy in Surviving Christmas. I recommend not buying.” – Seattle Times Oct 22, 2004 Full Review Goodbye, Dragon Inn (2003) 81% 1.5/4 EDIT “Tsai is hugely popular with film critics, I believe, in part because film critics actually have something to do while watching his films. While the girl is limping down the hallway, we can take notes. Regular theatergoers? They can only watch helplessly.” – Seattle Times Oct 15, 2004 Full Review The Final Cut (2004) 37% 1/4 EDIT “The lack of imagination, given the initial premise, is astounding.” – Seattle Times Oct 15, 2004 Full Review Around the Bend (2004) 29% 2/4 EDIT “The movie, sadly, wants us to be all warm and cozy. It wants to tuck us into bed. Try not to fall asleep.” – Seattle Times Oct 15, 2004 Full Review Nicotina (2003) 47% 2.5/4 EDIT “It feels lightweight and forgettable.” – Seattle Times Oct 8, 2004 Full Review
