Time for popcorn....
Opening This Week: Certified Copy OnDemand & Select Cities - Leisurely paced and sneakily elusive, the film is difficult to define in the way that its evolving—and revolving—narrative continuously plays with the viewer's expectations. The evocative subject matter is more than enough to carry us through Kiarostami's illusory flights from linear storytelling. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules Nationwide - There are diverting moments, to be sure, but director David Bowers and returning screenwriters Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah simultaneously try too hard and not hard enough. No one really learns anything this time out—about life, or growing up—making it a faint shadow of the original. Sucker Punch Nationwide - Chaotic and loud but never the least bit exciting, Snyder's meretricious, nonsensical, CGI-heavy fiasco is tedious enough to become a chore and so empty it's likely to weave a glaze over most audiences' eyes. Lugubrious and unsatisfying, "Sucker Punch" is full of flash and fury and deadening apathy. Win Win Select Cities - True to form for writer-director Tom McCarthy, "Win Win" is an observational comedy not about what happens, but about how. A small but pleasurable film that nonetheless leaves room for improvement, "Win Win" is more like "Win Tie" on final calculation. That's not such a bad place to be. |

Thought of the day...

going to the movies this weekend?
Opening This Week: Battle: Los Angeles Nationwide - A $100-million extravaganza of soul-sucking chaos and bombast. It is so excruciatingly apathetic, amateurish and brain-dead that, were an actual valid thought to enter the proceedings at any time, the entire film would likely self-destruct from the sheer shock of it all. Black Death OnDemand and Select Cities - "Black Death" carries authentic aesthetics, a dread-drenched tone, and provocative food-for-thought ideas involving religious hysteria that prove timely even in the 21st-century. The horrors within the story derive from the brutality and ruthlessness of human nature and the danger that comes with extreme belief systems. Ceremony OnDemand, In Select Cities April 8 - The feature writing-directing debut of Max Winkler, "Ceremony" is innocuous but underwritten. An indie romantic comedy-drama that provides the occasional snicker and a low-key level of emotional urgency, the picture nonetheless comes up lacking in both development and charisma. Mars Needs Moms Nationwide - It looks dazzling, and will no doubt look even better once it's on glorious 2D Blu-Ray. The material that surrounds its look is what doesn't work. It's bland and neither here-nor-there, an adventure-fantasy that could have used more story innovation to go along with its state-of-the-art aesthetics. Red Riding Hood Nationwide - Wasting an eclectic cast doing forgettable work and shot on chintzy soundstages that look like the sets from "Fraggle Rock," "Red Riding Hood" is a botched turkey that never takes off. It doesn't work as horror, as whimsical folk tale, or as a romance. It does, however, work on occasion as bad dinner theatre. Rubber OnDemand, In Select Cities April 1 - "Rubber" doesn't try to be the least bit creepy, only graphically violent. Its humor at the onset is cute, but it's there to make an early point about the disparateness of filmgoers and their overall propensity for suspending disbelief. Otherwise, the picture is, no pun intended, extraordinarily middle-of-the-road. 3 Backyards NYC - A tonal poem about the desires, mistakes, serendipitous encounters, and ultimate disappointments that a single day can have in store for any one of us, "3 Backyards" is a motion picture small of means, yet incalculably immense in its exploration of nothing less than the human condition. Wrecked OnDemand, In Select Cities April 1 - As a situational thriller, "Wrecked" enthralls for the length of its running time. For first-time director Michael Greenspan, it also stands as a future calling card to show just how much intrigue and audience involvement he can rile up with such a minimalist plot. |

A lot to see..
Opening This Week: The Adjustment Bureau Nationwide - Now here's something you don't see every day—a gripping, literate sci-fi film, full of thematic texture, emotional warmth, and existential complexity. In other words, it's the motion picture 2010's overcelebrated, dramatically ineffectual, subjectively barren "Inception" wished it was. Beastly Nationwide - A slipshod teen sudser starring 20-year-olds playing 17-year-olds penned as 12-year-olds. The "Beauty and the Beast" fairy tale is transplanted to high school and given a modern spin in "Beastly," a tame, perfunctory romantic drama with a lack of sophistication that probably won't be making anyone over the age of about thirteen swoon. Bereavement Select Cities - A character-centric thriller signifying writer-director-editor-composer Stevan Mena's progression as a filmmaker even as it doesn't quite retain the same home-grown charm and earnestness of its predecessor. "Bereavement" is as grim as its title, a motion picture that knows who its specialized audience is and goes after them in short order. Cold Weather OnDemand & Select Cities - Described in some circles as the mumblecore movement's answer to the myster-thriller genre, "Cold Weather" is congenial, to be sure, but also so very subtle that it never becomes more than a confectionary dash of moody pleasantness. Dream Home OnDemand & Select Cities - A ghastly, disturbing and, in its depiction of a person who can't seem to get ahead in a competitive, unforgiving economic climate, surprisingly melancholy horror show. "Dream Home" may only be for the strong of stomach, but horror fans will be elated with what could be the bravest slasher effort of the last couple years. I Saw the Devil Select Cities - Ceaseless in its goals to devastate, infuriate, nauseate, and finally challenge (in roughly that order) audiences used to more pandering, watered-down treatments of tragedy and vengeance. "I Saw the Devil" is a crackerjack thriller, present and in-the-moment and with its fair share of surprises up its sleeve. Rango Nationwide - Wry, genial, and not at all interested in jumping on the bandwagon of flash-in-the-pan pop-cultural hipness. Sparked by inspired vocal performances, an involving story, and thoroughly witty humor that refuses to talk down to anyone, "Rango" is a glorious and affectionate little spoof-cum-ode to Sergio Leone-inspired travails of the spaghetti-enthused Wild West genre. Take Me Home Tonight Nationwide - An '80s movie lover's wet dream. "Take Me Home Tonight" is that rare, special kind of film that most viewers should intimately connect with, enduring and growing in popularity with time, its rabid rewatchability factor a priceless attribute that too often goes undervalued by cinephiles. We Are What We Are OnDemand & Select Cities - It's one thing to keep certain aspects of a story close to the vest, or even to purposely leave room for ambiguity, but "We Are What We Are" time and again promises answers and payoffs that do not come. Instead of being enigmatic for a reason, the film feels simply half-formed. |
