Exporting Raymond (2011) - Movie Review

"Everybody Loves Raymond" was a highly successful American sitcom. It was extremely popular during its nine-year run. Not cool enough to be watched by me, but popular. About an everyman who has to deal with average American issues, it of course was a natural candidate to be adapted for Russian audiences. The documentary Exporting Raymond depicts the Chernobyl-sized culture clash that ensued. Exporting Raymond follows "Everybody Loves Raymond" creator Phil Rosenthal on his several trips to Russia to collaborate...

Cowboys & Aliens (2011) - Movie Review

What happens when you combine James Bond, Indiana Jones, the director of Iron Man, cowboys and aliens - oh, and Olivia Wilde - stir them all up in a $160-million-budgeted pot and launch the resulting sci-fi western to the big screen? Not what you'd think. Mildly enjoyable but ultimately disappointing, Cowboys & Aliens has the elements of success, except director Jon Favreau forgot to make it fun. In Cowboys & Aliens, a man named Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) wakes up in the desert unaware of who...

Hesher (2011) - Movie Review

Heavy metal. Pornography. Moving into people's homes without asking for permission. Blowing shit up. These are among Hesher's favorite things to do. Sometimes, that's just what the doctor ordered. Hesher, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Devin Brochu, Rainn Wilson and Natalie Portman, is a refreshingly unique and alluring drama-comedy. Gordon-Levitt plays the force to be reckoned with known as Hesher, a long-haired, unshaven, tattooed, foul-mouthed, pyromaniac and often shirtless punk who may or may not...

Drive (2011) - Movie Review

When will criminals learn? Stick to your guns, stick to your rules, and things will be fine. Deviate from your simple guidelines, mix in a love interest and let things get personal, and all things will go to hell. Then again, if you're the bad guys you know you should never mess with the quiet guy who's the protagonist in a movie, especially if he looks like Ryan Gosling and is featured in the movie Drive. Because he'll f**k them up, and the movie will blow audiences away. As of September 16, 2011, Drive...

The Ides of March (2011) - Movie Review

It's a rule that has stood the test of time, from the days of Julius Caesar to the poetry of William Shakespeare: hubris is a bitch that will beat you, or stab you, dead. Confidence is important, but overconfidence - especially the assumption that things will always go your way because you're more virtuous than the next guy - will ultimately destroy you. In George Clooney's mesmerizing The Ides of March, people are but pawns, emotion and friendship unimportant in contrast to strategy and victory, pieces...

Bell Flower (2011) - Movie Review

Bellflower is the result of some filthy filmmaking. I do not mean that as they did a poor job, far from it. I mean the shots are so real and intense you can almost smell sweat and whiskey infused body order while sitting in an air conditioned theater. There is a road trip scene where it looks like the camera lens was cleaned with spit and a dirty paper towel. This is not the California you are used to seeing on screen. Woodrow (Evan Glodell) and Aiden (Tyler Dawson) are lifelong best friends and share the...

The Smurfs (2011) - Movie Review

Ah, those lovable, enchanted, small blue creatures known as the Smurfs — many of us Generation Xers grew up with Peyo’s creation on Saturday morning with a bowl of cereal. Our children have not, and seeing a vast untapped resource, Sony Pictures decided to do a remake of the classic cartoon. Now some critics have not enjoyed the movie at all, tearing up every aspect of the film to its very foundation leaving only scraps of goodness behind. Despite what most critics are saying, however, I’m here to tell you...

Killer Elite (2011) - Movie Review

Killer Elite is saddled with a vague and forgettable title but at least it sounds more lethal than “The Feather Men,” the book it is based upon written by Sir Ranulph Fiennes (face it, an evil cabal known as the Feather Men does not inspire too much fear). These ex-SAS (Special Air Service) members, and now business leaders, chose the name themselves to signify their light touch on situations which concern them. So when shady characters start asking around about an old mission in Oman which involved SAS...

Flypaper (2011) - Movie Review

Ah, the bungled bank robbery movie. A movie that could have done with a cameo appearance from Eileen Brennan, Flypaper at least adds a slight kink in its comedy presentation, which results in it being slightly fresher than it perhaps could have been. A bank is being robbed, the heist goes wrong, and the perpetrators are trapped inside. The kicker? There are two sets of robbers, both having chosen the very same bank on the very same day at the very same time. One of the teams is all business. A three-man team...

Thor (2011) - Movie Review

Since I have never read a Thor comic book (don’t intend to either), nor do I have much insight into the Norse mythology from which he spawned, I really had no idea as to what kind of story to expect from the heavily hyped Thor (the trailers weren’t much help). But thanks in part to smart editing decisions, good acting and a relatively well written script, anyone else who shares my lack of knowledge is given enough background information to absorb — and enjoy — everything that is Asgard. The main plot of Thor...

127 Hours - Movie Review

 Danny Boyle, who has been made a fellow of the BFI as this year's London Film Festival draws to a close, finished off a season of first-class screenings with his best film since Trainspotting. Telling the true story of an American mountaineer who escaped certain death through an extraordinary act of courage, 127 Hours is a deeply compelling film which thrusts the viewer into the tortured body of its protagonist. 127 Hours is a film which comes with a lot of baggage. Its Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle...

X-Men: First Class (2011) - Movie Review

Matthew Vaughn returns to the superhero genre in earnest with X-Men: First Class - but with a new cast in front of the camera and Jane Goldman firmly behind the keyboard, can First Class overcome the stigma that has settled following a less-than-stellar run of X-sequels? Find out below. I must admit to taking my seat in the auditorium with a small degree of trepidation, fearing a film which jeopardised established canon in the blind pursuit of narrative freedom; the excellence of the first two instalments being...

Super 8 (2011) - Movie Review

Nostalgic for the good old days of The Goonies and Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Never fret - JJ Abrams has written a love letter to Steven Spielberg that sprinkles the 'only kids can truly understand' formula with a dusting of real monster magic. Old-timers will breathe a sigh of relief, new bloods will wish they lived in a time when you biked to visit your friend just next door, fabrics came in seven hot variations of 'mustard' and cool kids had walkie talkies not iPhones. There are many limitations...

Source Code (2011) - Movie Review

Mind-blowing follow up to Moon, Duncan Jones scores again with a twisting, explosive sci-fi actioner. Go and see it! Source Code is surprising on two fronts. Firstly, that an action film directed by Duncan Jones, who famously crafted the quiet and contemplative Moon, and starring pretty Jake Gyllenhall could turn out to be a serious contender for the best film of the summer. The second major surprise here is that even the most devoted Phillip K Dick fan may well look for the author’s name on the credits somewhere,...

The Rite (2011) - Movie Review

Anthony Hopkins and some chap you've never heard of star in a film which is stuck halfway between psychological thriller and demon-haunted horror. Solid performances and a refreshing rejection of SFX go some way towards redeeming this confused, lumpen effort, but it's still a long way from being welcomed into the divine presence. I have never seen The Exorcist. I have never seen The Exorcism of Emily Rose. When some heartless monster tried to make me see The Last Exorcism, I was forced to wound an intern in order...

Battle: Los Angeles (2011) - Movie Review

Recently the Alien invasion movie has seen something of a renaissance, with Cloverfield and District 9 both breathing life into one of the oldest and most tired sci-fi scenarios. But does new Hollywood blockbuster Battle: Los Angeles represent another step forward or two steps back? In the repressive and paranoid atmosphere of 1950s cold war America, alien invasion movies were all the rage. It is easy to see why, serving as they did as perfect vehicles for the fear-mongering and xenophobic propaganda of ‘reds...

The Green Hornet (2011) - Movie Review

 Seth Rogen and Michel Gondry - together at last! A most original cinematic odd couple whose Green Hornet manages to absorb elements of the best of both; the pair combine trademark Rogen gagsmithery and Gondry mind-bending visuals to breathe life into a threadbare tale and bring verve and invention to a genre creaking under the sheer weight of its own offerings. Remakes. Reimaginings, retreads, reboots… the cinematic landscape is lousy with them. They’re all the rage, dropping off the Hollywood conveyor...

Fast & Furious 5 (2011) Movie Review

The gang is back for a few more last jobs as they endeavour to take a corrupt Brazilian businessman to the cleaners and start a new life as millionaires. Boasting added Dwayne Johnson, Fast Five promises to race circles around the so-called law of diminishing returns. Following his incarceration at the climax of the previous film, and duplicating the mid-credits animated sequence with added wow-factor, Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) and Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewster) rescue Toterro sibling Dom (Vin Diesel) from...

Submarine (2011) - Movie Review

It sucks to be Oliver Tate. The little British dude’s life is falling apart. Sure, he has a new girlfriend, but she isn’t the easiest to deal with. His prospects of losing his virginity are looking up, however. But his parents are on the verge of divorce, his dad even less confrontational than he is while his mom lusts after the self help guru who lives next door. His classmates think he’s gay. He pushed an unpopular girl in a pond, though. Oliver Tate’s life is depicted in Submarine, the feature film debut of writer/director...
