Twitter Review: Up in the Air

September 13, 2021April 3, 2010 by Culture Snob

The nimble, expert ‘Up in the Air’ only seems to endorse its protagonist’s self-satisfied nihilism, but it fails to deeply pierce his armor.

Twitter Review: The Informant!

September 13, 2021April 3, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘The Informant!’ imposes a screwball score and exclamation point on a story that’s absurd but rarely funny. Only Damon’s investment engages.

Twitter Review: The Invention of Lying

September 13, 2021March 16, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Invention of Lying’ has a simple, resonant premise but is made without rigor. Only intermittent ingenuity saves it from offensive laziness.

Twitter Review: Coraline

September 13, 2021March 11, 2010 by Culture Snob

Like Selick’s other animations, ‘Coraline’ is merely weird. While imaginative, meticulous, and thematically rich, it’s dull and oddly inert.

Twitter Review: Battlestar Galactica (2003-9)

September 13, 2021February 20, 2010 by Culture Snob

Finished Battlestar Galactica. Can I sue Ronald D. Moore to get 3,234 minutes back? Loved the conception and arc; often hated the execution.

Twitter Review: The Hurt Locker

September 13, 2021February 6, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Hurt Locker’ overplays its coda but is an intense serial with authenticity and narrative momentum, and the script lets the actors carry it.

Twitter Review: Harvard Beats Yale 29-29

September 13, 2021January 19, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Harvard Beats Yale’ ably manages character, context, and Gore/Bush digressions, but it fumbles the game: erratic pacing and odd inclusions.

Twitter Review: Moon

September 13, 2021January 15, 2010 by Culture Snob

The sci-fi of ‘Moon’ is philosophical, humane, rigorous, and austere, and I adore the robot’s hopeful emoticon expressions; that feels right

Twitter Review: Anvil! The Story of Anvil

September 13, 2021January 11, 2010 by Culture Snob

‘Anvil!’ merely repeats Spinal Tap’s satire and has too much Lips and too little Robb, but the duo’s determination is touching and truly sad

Twitter Review: Paranormal Activity

September 13, 2021January 9, 2010 by Culture Snob

Creepy but generic, an otherwise austere ‘Paranormal Activity’ would have unsettled more sans the extra-diegetic rumble conditioning viewers
