Twitter Review: Charlie Wilson’s War

September 13, 2021June 13, 2010 by Culture Snob

Aside from canonizing its subject – especially in the excruciating bookends – ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’ is crackling, sharp, and outraged fun

Twitter Review: Justified Season 1

September 13, 2021June 10, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Justified’ S1: Sly performances, character ambiguity, sharply natural dialogue, and propulsive violence elevate this backwoods pulp fiction

Twitter Review: The Messenger

September 13, 2021June 8, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘The Messenger’ is unerring on its own dramatic terms but misses an opportunity by offering character over punishing war-death notifications

Twitter Review: Timecrimes

September 13, 2021May 22, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Timecrimes’ is compact and skillful, but it’s all plot and no character. ‘Primer’ is similar but far superior

Twitter Review: Lost, “Across the Sea”

September 13, 2021May 12, 2010 by Culture Snob

The awaited Jacob/MIB episode of ‘Lost’ was penned by series bigwigs but merely underlined already-obvious moral relativism. Gallingly dull.

Twitter Review: (500) Days of Summer

September 13, 2021May 12, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘(500) Days of Summer’ has a good hook and nails relationship details, but it’s too cute and frustratingly undisciplined and self-satisfied.

Twitter Review: An Education

September 13, 2021May 12, 2010 by Culture Snob

Based on a memoir, the facile, impatient ‘An Education’ is incredible, and glosses over its most compelling element: the facilitating family

Twitter Review: Fantastic Mr. Fox

September 13, 2021April 27, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ balances Dahl’s aggressive oddity with Anderson’s preciousness; given Wes’ recent missteps, animation is a promising path

Twitter Review: Dead Snow

September 13, 2021April 22, 2010 by Culture Snob

Movie-loving ‘Dead Snow’ deals engagingly with undying evil and pointless greed, but the Nazi-zombie trifle is mostly large with intestines.

Twitter Review: Sugar

September 13, 2021April 22, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Sugar’ too broadly sketches Iowa and cuts corners with baseball, but its subversion of sports-movie expectations is refreshingly authentic.
