Pre-2017 Film Reviews
The Blair Witch Project
James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture [1999]
Dead Hooker in a Trunk
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies [2009]
- Excerpt: Absolutely faithful to the exploitative promise of the title, but still not exactly what you’d expect, ‘Dead Hooker in a Trunk’ is a nihilistic feminist punk black comedy with an absurd script and experimental tendencies.
Dolly Dearest
James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture [1991]
Intolerance: Love’s Struggle Throughout The Ages
Roderick Heath @ Film Freedonia [1916]
- Excerpt: Aside from passages of the Babylon siege, which becomes interludes of pure spectacle, Intolerance retains its focus on the human level remarkably well; truly, Griffith’s feel for cinematic art seemed to intensify all the more precisely the more he was chasing a direct, near-physical relationship with his audience.
Passengers
Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight [2016]
- Excerpt: There are many problems afoot in Morten Tyldum’s “Passengers,” a sci-fi spectacle starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, but a surfeit of production values is not one of them.
The Tough Ones
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee, Coffee and more Coffee [1976]
- Excerpt: I thought of White Heat and Umberto Lenzi’s documented admiration for Raoul Walsh while watching The Tough Ones.
