BERGMAN AND ANTONIONI TRAVEL TO NEW LANDS…
The month of July in 2007 began with moments of happiness, as I prepared myself for an exciting trip to San Francisco, but ended on the sourest note possible. Two great legends have moved on, crippling a good portion of living film history and leaving we fine film fans in a complete state of mourning. [...]

NO RESERVATIONS
|
  Year Released: 2007 MPAA Rating: PG Running Time: 105 minutes |
“No Reservations” satisfactorily Americanizes its German predecessor by taking an originally more serious story and adding to it a lighter, more comedic tone. Not to suggest that I prefer the old to the new or vice versa, but considering Hicks’s film on its own, it surpasses any romantic comedy I’ve seen in a long time…

WE KNOW…
It’s not about Lovecraft, or Voltron, or Godzilla. Abrams has deemed this a movie for the US Crowds, his own iconic giant monster movie in spite of the mystery still looming. The poster tells a lot, but still keeps many things in the dark. The statue of liberty is without a head, the skylines are [...]

THE SIMPSONS MOVIE
|
  Year Released: 2007 MPAA Rating: PG-13 Running Time: 87 minutes |
“The Simpsons Movie” is everything it has no right to be, based on the past several seasons: it’s funny, it’s smart, and it pokes fun at exactly the things it should (organized religion, big business, and the audience itself)…
