Ballast (2008) 92% EDIT “Ballast reminds us how phony and programmed most Hollywood products are, repudiating the condescension with which it so often treats poor people, especially if they're black.” – Pajiba Jul 10, 2008 Full Review Hostel Part II (2007) 44% EDIT “Compared to its predecessor, the new screenplay might well have been written by Betty Friedan.” – Pajiba Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Away From Her (2006) 94% EDIT “Away from Her is one of those exceedingly rare instances of an adaptation that not only honors but actually surpasses its source.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Everything's Gone Green (2006) 68% EDIT “In outline, EGG is a romantic comedy with a standard genre plot -- good guy tries to win good girl away from bad guy -- but at its center, it's really about a guy trying to ... live in an ethical way even though everyone around him is corrupt.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Year of the Dog (2007) 70% EDIT “Though still best known for her over-the-top "SNL" characters like Mary Katherine Gallagher and Sally O'Mally, Shannon is surprisingly adept at playing this quieter tragicomic role.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Venus (2006) 88% EDIT “O'Toole's performance is full of wit and vigor and, even at Maurice's weakest, there is a sense of a man who lived life fully and partook of every pleasure available.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review The Young Lieutenant (2005) 78% EDIT “Lieutenant is a sly act of provocation, a repudiation of American filmmaking technique and of near-universal attitudes about cinematic violence.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Factory Girl (2006) 21% EDIT “As a biography of Edie Sedgwick, it's pretty near worthless, but as an evocation of both the glamour and the horror of the Factory, it's as seductive as Andy himself.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Zodiac (2007) 90% EDIT “The visuals and the performances (excepting my Gyllenhaal quibbles) are across-the-board fantastic, and there are both scares and suspense aplenty, even for those already fairly familiar with the case.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Amazing Grace (2006) 68% EDIT “The whole thing feels a bit smug and complacent, as if having a worthwhile subject were the only requirement for making a worthwhile film, and Apted directs in a respectable "Masterpiece Theatre" style that effectively drains away any inherent drama.” – Pajiba May 7, 2007 Full Review Zoo (2007) 60% EDIT “It seems almost perverse to willfully take a subject so bizarre and disturbing and esthetize it into something beautiful, but, love it or hate it, there's no denying the film's seductive power.” – Pajiba May 3, 2007 Full Review Daddy's Little Girls (2007) 25% EDIT “It's melodrama at the Lifetime-movie level, but even that is a step up. Perry will never be a great filmmaker, or probably even a good one, but he's moved into the ranks of the mediocre.” – Pajiba Feb 14, 2007 Full Review Epic Movie (2007) 2% EDIT “It's generally considered bad form for a critic to advocate the kidnap and torture of specific filmmakers, but I'll tell you this: If you did it, and you confessed to me, no way would I turn you in.” – Pajiba Jan 28, 2007 Full Review Alpha Dog (2006) 54% EDIT “Foster is the one truly, disturbingly believable young actor in the cast, all sweaty adrenaline and menacing self-loathing.” – Pajiba Jan 16, 2007 Full Review Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) 59% EDIT “The script, such as it is, takes the form of a kinky fairy tale set in a violent, brutish world; imagine the Brothers Grimm rewritten by Charles Dickens as a letter to Penthouse Forum.” – Pajiba Jan 16, 2007 Full Review Black Christmas (2006) 14% EDIT “Morgan is never satisfied with a straightforward camera setup or with a simple asphyxiation -- not when he can shoot from a disorienting diagonal and give you an asphyxiation, eye-gouging, neck-breaking, and impalement all at once.” – Pajiba Jan 16, 2007 Full Review Curse of the Golden Flower (2006) 65% EDIT “Everything about it is gorgeously over the top, much like the family melodrama that occasions it.” – Pajiba Jan 16, 2007 Full Review Dreamgirls (2006) 79% EDIT “[Condon's] affection for the musical goes a long way toward smoothing over the bumpy spots in the narrative, though at times it creates new ones of its own.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Charlotte's Web (2006) 79% EDIT “Fanning's ubiquity and uncannily adult mien have given rise to a fair amount of backlash ... but I, for one, remain fully in her thrall.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Inland Empire (2006) 72% EDIT “INLAND EMPIRE is 172 minutes of exhausting, patience-shredding, yet continually intriguing filmmaking, a work that will divide fans and critics and probably lead to a few isolated instances of marital discord.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Blood Diamond (2006) 64% EDIT “... a film that's ostensibly about the murder, mutilation, forced labor, kidnapping, and brainwashing of black Africans but whose creators insist that what's really important is whether the roguish white guy gets it on with the hot white chick.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review 10 Items or Less (2006) 64% EDIT “Though in some ways its plot is never entirely convincing, it is, on its own limited terms, nearly perfect.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Volver (2006) 91% EDIT “[T]here can be no doubt that this is the work of a mature artist at the top of his game.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Deck the Halls (2006) 6% EDIT “None of this is ever funny, and what's more, we just don't care.” – Pajiba Dec 18, 2006 Full Review Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus (2006) 33% EDIT “Every fictional take on a real-life artist gets a few things wrong, but it's been a long time since I've seen one quite as spectacularly wrong or thoroughly insulting as Fur.” – Pajiba Nov 20, 2006 Full Review
