The Air I Breathe (2007) 11% 2/5 EDIT “No matter how ridiculous the plot twists that bring the characters into contact with one another and their individual destinies are, the contrivances are obvious a mile off. And the ending is laughable.” – The List Apr 30, 2020 Full Review Serenity (2005) 82% 4/5 EDIT “Boasting an intriguing plotline, breakneck pacing, characters with depth and a good deal of knowing humor alongside some gobsmacking special effects, Serenity is the true successor to [Star Wars].” – The List Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Rag Tale (2005) 29% 4/5 EDIT “There's enough going on in terms of plot and (roundly spot-on) performances to drive this fine addition to the newspaper movie sub-genre to its malignant conclusion.” – The List Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Oliver Twist (2005) 61% 3/5 EDIT “Polanski and Harwood have streamlined the meandering narrative to Dickens' second novel, which may horrify purists, but which works well enough for the filmmakers' purposes.” – The List Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Kinky Boots (2005) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Surely, there are only so many unlikely pursuits that everyday folk from the regions of England can be made to undertake in order to provide film fodder?” – The List Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Lords of Dogtown (2005) 55% 1/5 EDIT “Every lame cliché you'd expect of a mainstream treatment of a cult subject is present and incorrect.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review The Aristocrats (2005) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Beyond being utterly hilarious and really quite shocking, Provenza's film says a lot about the nature of stand-up comedy and the people who are compelled to do it. And that makes The Aristocrats a great documentary.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Cinderella Man (2005) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Even Howard and Goldsman's penchant for being over-sentimental doesn't scupper the emotional punch Braddock's story packs. That's largely down to Crowe's utterly convincing performance.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Unleashed (2005) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Not really a good film, but there's definite curiosity value in this odd concoction.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Fever Pitch (2005) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Fallon and Barrymore make for a likable and funny couple, even if this reasonably amusing film doesn't quite hit a home run.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Silver City (2004) 48% 4/5 EDIT “John Sayles' detective story-cum-political satire benefits from a superb turn from the always reliable Chris Cooper as a dimwit, corrupt politician.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2001) 83% 3/5 EDIT “Sombre and stark, but shot through with witty observations and articulate dialogue, these conversations also benefit from a set of nicely modulated performances that breath life in to the occasionally forced dialogue.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Overnight (2003) 78% 3/5 EDIT “There's an element of revenge in it, with the filmmakers editing their footage in a way that highlights Duffy's bad behavior -- but, for the most part, their subject sinks himself.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review The Boondock Saints (1999) 26% 2/5 EDIT “The Boondock Saints has ended up a cheap looking B-movie that's pretentious, derivative, and sorely lacking a sense of fun.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Wedding Crashers (2005) 75% 2/5 EDIT “Operating on the principle that lame verbal and visual gags are funny if the audience is repeatedly pummeled with them, Wedding Crashers sorely lacks a strong script and the kind of inventive direction worthy of its not-untalented leads.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Kung Fu Hustle (2004) 90% 4/5 EDIT “There's nothing subtle about Kung Fu Hustle, and plenty that's downright 'stoopid,' but it's without doubt a labor of love for Chow, and the feel-good fun is utterly infectious.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst (2004) 89% 4/5 EDIT “By rejecting the view of the SLA as folk heroes, Stone presents a compelling document of a misguided political movement that epitomizes the butt end of the protest movement come the mid-1970s.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Evil (2003) 68% 3/5 EDIT “It's a handsomely mounted film that's very cinematic with its visual styling.... And in its lead, model and actor Wilson, Evil has a charismatic and strappingly handsome protagonist.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Inside Deep Throat (2005) 83% 3/5 EDIT “A candid portrait of an America reasserting its conservatism in the 1970s and attempting to crush the 60s-spawned counterculture.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Batman Begins (2005) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The film looks great and there some striking set-pieces, but in spite of a series of comic quips -- the new film lacks a sense of adventure and fun. Nevertheless, Nolan, Goyer and Bale have still managed to revitalize the ailing franchise.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Anatomy of a Murder (1959) 100% 5/5 EDIT “Anatomy of a Murder remains an at times shocking indictment of Eisenhower-era America and an all-around terrific thriller.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Ong-Bak: The Thai Warrior (2003) 85% 2/5 EDIT “While the Muay Thai kickboxing style employed by star and action choreographer Tony Jaa is impressive, the way in which the various bouts are filmed is uninspired and ultimately tiresome.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Downfall (2004) 90% 3/5 EDIT “It asks a great deal of indulgence from its audience, almost as though nothing less than an endurance test would do in dealing with this heavyweight subject. And that, despite admirable aims, doesn't make for great cinema.” – The List Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Shall We Dance? (2004) 46% 3/5 EDIT “British director Peter Chelsom proves to be an inspired choice. Dressing the film with an eye-pleasing kitsch retro look and sprinkling the proceedings with moments of eccentric humor, he recalls his fine earlier films.” – The List Apr 23, 2019 Full Review The Door in the Floor (2004) 67% 4/5 EDIT “The Door in the Floor's leads have remained largely and woefully under-appreciated actors... Here, they both give career best performances.” – The List Apr 23, 2019 Full Review
