    REVIEW | Daily Grind: Daniel Burman's "Family Law"

    by Nick Pinkerton on December 5, 2006

    I don't go to the movies looking for modest intentions any more than your average baseball fan goes to the stadium hoping to see some well laid-down bunts, but Daniel Burman's "Family Law" is cause for exception. This story of a thirtyish law professor, Ariel Perelman, (Daniel Hendler), wriggling be...

    REVIEW | Into the Woods: David Lynch's "Inland Empire"

    by Michael Koresky on December 4, 2006

    Since its wildly anticipated debut screening at this October's New York Film Festival, David Lynch's three-hour, digital-video freefall "Inland Empire" has been both castigated and commended for the same things: its jaggedness, its refusal to give up its secrets, and its merrily incongruous jigsawin...

    REVIEW | Checking Out: Brad Silberling's "10 Items or Less"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on November 30, 2006

    Brad Silberling's "10 Items or Less" takes its title from the express checkout lane at the grocery store, and refers more particularly here to the aisle manned by Spanish actress Paz Vega as Scarlet in a working-class L.A. neighborhood. To this locale, Morgan Freeman--as himself, or someone like hi...

    REVIEW | Bad Blood: Thom Fitzgerald's "3 Needles"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on November 27, 2006

    Opening on World AIDS Day, Thom Fitzgerald's "3 Needles" sets itself up as a consciousness raiser from the get-go. Chronicling three stories built around the disease's manifestations across geographic and cultural distances in just over two hours, no wonder the result is reductive--but still, you s...

    REVIEW | Agriculture Clash: Nikolaus Geyrhalter's "Our Daily Bread"

    by Michael Rowin on November 25, 2006

    In one of those coincidences that will inevitably have critics spotting a newly forming cultural zeitgeist, the food industry doc "Our Daily Bread" now follows fast on the heels of Richard Linklater's Saylesian fictional adaptation of Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation expose. Whatever the reasons fo...

    REVIEW | Peter Cattaneo's "Opal Dream"

    by Michael Rowin on November 22, 2006

    The greatest service one can do for a "family film" like "Opal Dream" is to not slap that condescending label on it at all. "Family" may be a useful generic stamp, but British director Peter Cattaneo's very good, very involving movie doesn't deserve to be qualified as such, with the accompanying sug...

    REVIEW | Hard Lessons: Nicolas Hytner's "The History Boys"

    by Michael Koresky on November 20, 2006

    What was evidently innovative on stage has become turgid and rote onscreen: Nicolas Hytner's big-screen adaptation of Alan Bennett's wildly praised, Tony-winning "The History Boys" is, as will be noted even in positive reviews, saddled with clumsy musical cues, dreadful montages of frolicking, and o...

    REVIEW | Raw Meat: Richard Linklater's "Fast Food Nation"

    by Michael Koresky on November 16, 2006

    Everything about Richard Linklater's terrific new movie "Fast Food Nation" is something of a red herring. A film about huge subjects writ tiny, this freeform fictional adaptation of Eric Schlosser's best-selling nonfiction expose of the meat and processed food industries is not really about the meat...

    REVIEW | Buzz Kill: Christopher Guest's "For Your Consideration"

    by Michael Koresky on November 15, 2006

    Breaking free of the mockumentary shackles that had become his exclusive domain, Christopher Guest gets back to mirthful basics with "For Your Consideration," which is less a La-La-Land satire than a glorious sketch comedy throwback. The Guest troupe, many of whom hail from the Seventies Canadian sh...

    REVIEW | Obscure Object: The Brothers Quay's "The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes"

    by Indiewire on November 14, 2006

    The degree to which you're able to fully invest in the Brothers Quay's new full-length "The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes" may well depend on your relationship to their earlier works. Quay regulars will probably look past the general opacity of "Piano Tuner"'s narrative, which is simple in its arc but ...
