SILENT WORLD

June 24,

'Moon': Slow-burning sci-fi This is one of those rare films—Pi and Primer are the only other

recent entries that come to mind—that prove that you can do great,

intelligent sci-fi with a tiny little budget. Moon is a bit more

ostentatious than those two movies, and certainly features more special

effects than both of them combined, [...]

FREAK OUT

June 17,

'Food, Inc.' spells out the doom DOOOOOOOOM. Are you aware that food in this country is all kinds of

messed up? Probably you are, in which case Food, Inc., a 101-level

documentary about What's Wrong and Why We Should Freak Out, functions

mostly as an emotional wringer and appetite suppressant. It is very

effective. Here is [...]

BETTER BE QUIET

June 10,

John Travolta's lost his cussing mojo John Travolta can't say "fuck" anymore. When Quentin Tarantino pulled

Travolta out of the old actors junkyard, dusted him off, and tossed him

on the big screen in 's Pulp Fiction, his usage of the fuck-word

seemed bold and fresh. But 15 years later, now that Travolta's become

everybody's least [...]

OF TYSON MEN

June 3,

Mike Tyson could kill you with his hands Tyson—a 90-minute documentary about Mike Tyson—is not at all what you'd

expect from a first-person sports narrative (it's really just one long

interview with the boxer, supplemented with old photos and fight

footage). There's no grandstanding or blowhard pomposity or hollow

equivocation about why the champ eventually fell. [...]

NOT WELL HUNG

June 3,

'The Hangover' wastes a fairly genius premise Hey, here's an idea: Maybe we don't let Jon Lucas and Scott Moore

write movies anymore. Eh? EH? In the past half-decade alone, these dudes

have subjected us to Four Christmases ("I want them all to drown in

their own eggnog vomit," wrote Jen Graves), Ghosts of Girlfriends Past

[...]

SECRET HISTORY

May 27,

'Outrage' exposes D.C.'s closeted culture As his documentary This Film Is Not Yet Rated made clear,

filmmaker Kirby Dick is nothing if not tenacious. Chronicling the

formation and "secret history" of the Motion Picture Association of

America, This Film… found him doing every legal thing in his

power—hiring a full-time private eye, digging through [...]

YOU WILL CRY

May 27,

The fantastical weirdness of 'Up' Ten minutes into Up, I was crying. I was trying to hide it, of

course, despite the fact I wasn't alone—there was faint sniffling

echoing throughout the theater. But goddamn did the goofy cartoon about

balloons just throw everyone for a loop! In a few minutes of wordless

montage, Carl Fredrickson [...]

WAIT FOR IT . . .

May 20,

Sasha Grey's limp big-screen debut A "girlfriend experience" is a term used by very shi-shi, expensive

$-an-hour escorts to describe not just paid fucking, but the

accompanying personal time—lots of kissing, cuddling, hair tussling and

talking. Oh, the TALKING. This is a movie all about talk-talk-TALKING.

It's a story about relationships and sex—yet there isn't any [...]

APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED

May 20,

'Terminator: Salvation' is a pit of mediocrity There is a perplexing brand of moviegoer who will vehemently

apologize for any special effects-laden summer movie, even if the

filmmakers completely botched their hundred-million-dollar mandate to

make something entertaining. "Wolverine wasn't that bad," they'll say,

as though their children had starred in the movie and so they're

proprietarily [...]

BEAUTIFUL VOID

May 13,

Salvador Dalí's big gay mustache party! In Little Ashes we see the rise and fall of a love affair between the

Spanish poet Federico García Lorca (played by an unknown Javier

Beltran) and the painter Salvador Dalí (played by a very well known

Robert Pattinson—the vampire in Twilight). The affair's ascension begins

in , while the [...]
