Bill Cunningham New York
Verve, charisma, adorability, history, and above all, fashion. What more could you want from a New Yawk documentary?

Tess of the D'Urbervilles
More tramping through wet fields than necessary, but a serviceable portrayal of a deeply disturbing novel.

30 Minutes or Less
I liked the Datsun joke until I saw the Datsun. (A 280Z is spanky. We had a clunky little 510.)

Slums of Beverly Hills
It was worth it just to see a menstrual belt again. (Man, that hearkens back.)

I can't believe British parents are really that stolid. That's part of the joke, right?

Four Lions
Humor really is the best of antidotes to the sad state of our world.

Just in case I'm ever stuck in Alaska, I hope that this movie had some real science behind it.

I wasn't able to watch this with subtitles, and it really made no difference whatsoever.

Och, who cares how predictable it is. It's the Irish Fargo.

The Rum Diary
Ribisi does what no other actor does: create brilliantly insane characters that are only that way because he's acting his ass off.

The Muppets
While it's a clever attempt to cash in on all the nostalgia films, it's sweet enough not to matter.

Is it the illicit nature of what we watch that we enjoy (vicarious) or is it stars being predictably entertaining that we enjoy (routine)?
