Twitter Review: The Wrestler

September 13, 2021May 19, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘The Wrester’: Rourke lives the role beautifully, but the first-half character-study authenticity devolves into inevitable, overplayed story

Twitter Review: Lost Season 5 Finale

September 13, 2021May 14, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Lost’ S5 finale: Josh Holloway proves himself the worst among many bad actors; the suspense is less “What happens next?!” than “Where now?”

Twitter Review: Slumdog Millionaire

September 13, 2021April 15, 2009 by Culture Snob

Slumdog Millionaire – The climax? Salim interrupts. The dance? Credits intrude. Boyle trashes my minor goodwill with shit I don’t care about

Twitter Review: Milk

September 13, 2021March 30, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Milk’ – It neither over-simplifies nor beatifies, but in a largely glowing portrait, Harvey Milk remains a mystery. Still, a great pleasure

Twitter Review: Quantum of Solace

September 13, 2021March 29, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Quantum of Solace’: Uniformly incoherent action but a surprising emotional pull. Craig’s Bond remains a magnetic force but is too cloaked.

Twitter Review: Let the Right One in

September 13, 2021March 17, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Let the Right One in’ – Tonally coy, it expands on Romero’s ‘Martin,’ crosses it with Poe’s ‘William Wilson,’ and haunts retrospectively.

Twitter Review: Rachel Getting Married

September 13, 2021March 14, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Rachel Getting Married’ – Contrivances of setup and situation are, by the end, obliterated by unerring emotional authenticity. Truth-filled

Twitter Review: Vicky Cristina Barcelona

September 13, 2021March 14, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Vicky Cristina Barcelona’ – Pretty, obvious, tiresome, and cynical, Allen’s latest starts literally golden and fades to a trite ‘reality.’

Twitter Review: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

September 13, 2021March 2, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Diving Bell & the Butterfly’ – Aggressive direction overcompensates for decidedly uncinematic material, but it doesn’t matter. Still lovely

Twitter Review: Frozen River

September 13, 2021March 1, 2009 by Culture Snob

‘Frozen River’ – Gripping, authentic, tight, and heartbreaking, this working-class thriller strangely derails with two tries at high drama.
