Twitter Review: The Flight of the Conchords Season 2

September 13, 2021September 23, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Flight of the Conchords S2’ shows what happens when your great ideas got used up the first time. Often amusing but random and kinda stupid.

Twitter Review: Battlestar Galactica Season 3

September 13, 2021September 16, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘BSG S3’ starts bracingly and ends depressingly shittily. New Caprica gave me hope; ‘Watchtower’ felt like 6 hours of agony. Vexingly uneven

Twitter Review: Repulsion

September 13, 2021August 12, 2009 by Culture Snob

Polanski’s obtuse ‘Repulsion’ mines fear of rape, men, abandonment. 1 great shock & effective spatial horror, but male POV leers and muddles

Twitter Review: A Tale of Two Sisters

September 13, 2021July 11, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘A Tale of 2 Sisters’ undermines reality to the extent that it’s hard to care. Creepy and full of potent symbolism, I’m baffled not scared.

Twitter Review: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

September 13, 2021June 15, 2009 by Culture Snob

For 2 hours, ‘TAOJJBTCRF’ seems to wander enigmatically with a sharp eye. But its final 30 minutes pierce as themes coalesce novelistically.

Twitter Review: Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan

September 13, 2021June 15, 2009 by Culture Snob

The consensus apex of the Star Trek films, ‘Khan’ opens as slowly as its forebear and only eclipses it when the Genesis and Spock plots meet

Twitter Review: Star Trek: The Motion Picture

September 13, 2021June 15, 2009 by Culture Snob

Once you get past the torpid first hour, 1979’s ‘Star Trek’ is shockingly compelling – a leisurely puzzle that presages ‘BSG’ and its themes

Twitter Review: Up

September 13, 2021June 7, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Up’ made me cry at least twice, but its well-supported message undercut its admittedly spectacular spectacle. That’s its point and problem.

Twitter Review: Star Trek (2009)

September 13, 2021June 1, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Star Trek’ – Brisk, elegant, and thin, Abrams’ reboot draws its gravity from Leonard Nimoy, funny and illogically emotional. Pegg is a hoot

Twitter Review: JCVD

September 13, 2021May 29, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘JCVD’ – Not as smart as it thinks it is, but still potent. Van Damme effectively exploits his irrelevance for laughs & pathos. Too stylized
