MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY #1

Doug Brunell — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 05:05:10 +0000

The two films combined serve to make a powerful epic that rates amongst the best crime films ever made. It is too early to tell if it will be considered a "classic," but it seems like this is a shoe-in to that club...

MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT

Doug Brunell — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 04:01:24 +0000

This is a stylish gangster movie, and those are always fun to watch. The violence feels real. The characters, even at their worst, are people you can care about. And Cassel’s performance is jaw-droppingly good...

ICONOCLAST

Doug Brunell — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:17:39 +0000

Say what you will about Rice, but he isn’t boring, and this film proves it...

CHARLIE THISTLE

Doug Brunell — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 05:05:02 +0000

Shot in black and white (until the blue and a few other colors get approved), this short film is really just a fancy way of saying that one person can make a difference in the world as long as you are willing to break away from the norm...

THE THIRD WAVE

Doug Brunell — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 05:33:46 +0000

"The Third Wave" is a feel-good film, and it is meant to be, but it doesn’t hide the problems that come with volunteering...

ANTON CHEKHOV’S THE DUEL

Doug Brunell — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 04:01:17 +0000

The fate of these people rests not upon something out of their control, but something totally within their grasp, and their inability to ascertain that is what drives them to the place they happen to be in...

LIGHTS CAMERA DEAD

Doug Brunell — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 14:51:38 +0000

More "Bowfinger" than almost any other horror film you can think of, this Tim Reaper production has its heart in the right place and nothing else...

FOUND OBJECTS

Doug Brunell — Sun, 22 May 2011 04:27:28 +0000

This is the kind of thing snobby critics love to praise so they can elevate themselves above the commoners. The truth is, though, that this is a lovely looking movie which is done exceedingly well, but lacks any real soul...

EYES OF THE MOTHMAN

Doug Brunell — Mon, 02 May 2011 21:50:21 +0000

If you are a fan of the paranormal, the unexplained or just the legendary Mothman, you need to see this documentary post haste. It is, quite simply, the most comprehensive look at the story of the Mothman...

JOY RIDE 2: DEAD AHEAD

Doug Brunell — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 04:01:44 +0000

This is bad, bad stuff. It’s the kind of thing that makes me, a huge fan of horror cinema, agree with the people who say horror movies are the playground of the uneducated...

RESTREPO

Doug Brunell — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 05:03:48 +0000

HOT FLASH

Doug Brunell — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 05:01:43 +0000

If the blues aren't your thing, there is very little reason to recommend this film. To appreciate these ladies, you need to be able to appreciate the blues no matter the era...

THE SICILIAN GIRL

Doug Brunell — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 21:00:59 +0000

You may see some of the twists coming, but I can virtually guarantee you won't spot the ending even if you've grown up exclusively on Mafia films ...

Doug Brunell — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 18:08:12 +0000

DINOSAUR VALLEY GIRLS

Doug Brunell — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 05:01:06 +0000

Yes, it is campy fun, the kind Tom Servo regularly dissected on "MST3K," but that can only carry a movie so far ...

SHOOT THE HERO!

Doug Brunell — Sun, 17 Oct 2010 04:23:38 +0000

If there is any reason to recommend this film, it is to see Jason Mewes step outside the Jay box and play a self-doubting, eager-to-please young man who is trying to grow up...

A CABIN IN TIME

Doug Brunell — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:01:09 +0000

Let's face it, when you are an independent filmmaker and you make something that, had you the talent, connections and money, is mainstream enough to come out of Hollywood, you better dazzle your audience in some fashion...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Doug Brunell — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 04:01:37 +0000

There are some laughs here. As far as comedies go, this one is aimed strictly at adults. Not because it is profane, but because the comedy comes more from observations of life instead of sight gags and pratfalls...

COCKHAMMER

Doug Brunell — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 04:01:20 +0000

The plot involves a porn filmmaker, black magic rituals, demons, human sacrifice, stoners, sluts and some of the worst actors I've seen in a while...

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO

Doug Brunell — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 04:01:53 +0000

If you want to look at it from a sociological viewpoint, this film is not a murder mystery, but an examination of how men destroy women and how women cope with it ...

VINCENT & LUCIAN

Doug Brunell — Sat, 22 May 2010 04:01:19 +0000

The film's very apparent conclusion does little to alter how well-acted it is and doesn't detract from the highly competent use of sound, music and cinematography...

FLEURE BLEU (THE APPRENTICE)

ZALZALA

Doug Brunell — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 04:06:15 +0000

The film's other problem, and this is the not the filmmakers' fault, is that the people who really need to see this won't. Those who weren't concerned in the first place probably aren't going to pick this up. Pakistan might as well be Mars...

WONDER WOMAN: THE JENNIFER WENGER INTERVIEW

Doug Brunell — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 04:01:20 +0000

Wenger is a natural talent who isn't afraid to take chances. When I first watched "Confessions of a Superhero," I thought she would be the one who goes all the way and would actually be able to have a career in the belly of the Hollywood monster...

FLOW

Doug Brunell — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 04:01:11 +0000

If this documentary doesn't cause you to rethink what you believe about water, you aren't watching closely enough. You use it every day and you barely notice it, but there are people paying very close attention to those two facts and they do notice water usage, and what is happening under our noses because of them is the stuff out of nightmares...

WE ALL FALL DOWN

This is not exactly a happy movie, but its overall message is one of hope in the most barren of places...

STAAR: SHE’D RATHER BE A MISTRESS

STRICTLY SEXUAL (A LOVE STORY)

SHUTDOWN: THE RISE AND FALL OF “DIRECT ACTION TO STOP THE WAR”

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

If civil disobedience, anti-war movements and direct action are things you are interested in, this is probably one the best documentaries to come out in a long time.

POISON SWEETHEARTS

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

There's something about the spirit of this modern-day exploitation flick that tells me Quentin Tarantino would probably like it.

PAURA: LUCIO FULCI REMEMBERED VOL. 1 (DVD)

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

PAROLES ET MUSIQUE (LOVE SONGS) (DVD)

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Fans of Lambert and his role of Highlander are going to be a bit surprised by this film. Fans of Deneuve, who always seemed a bit overrated, will not be.

THE BEEKEEPER’S HONEY: INTERVIEW WITH MICHELLE MUELLER

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

After watching "The Beekeeper" I knew one thing: I had to know more about Michelle Mueller and what made her able to handle this character in a way that bordered on sublime.

EAST L.A. MARINE (DVD)

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Tom Brokaw called the WWII veterans the “greatest generation.” Guy Gabaldon, a short Hispanic enamored with Japanese culture, would probably be ranked by Brokaw right at the top of that group.

GLENN BECK: UNELECTABLE

THE DYSFUNCTIONAL BOOK CLUB

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This movie bills itself as “an intoxicating comedy.” Unfortunately, the tagline was the only indication I had that this was supposed to be funny.

BILL’S BIG PUMPKINS

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

You would think a documentary about a pumpkin grower attempting to grow the biggest pumpkin in Minnesota history would be fairly boring. You would be partially right.

A PATRIOT ACT

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

What happens when you get some paranoid, slightly pretentious people making a movie inspired by the Patriot Act? You get a film with an interesting premise that thinks it has more power than it actually does.

LIFE AFTER DIVORCE

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

If women really want to know what far too many men are thinking, they need to see this, and if anti-prostitution forces want to get an honest look at things from the other side of the fence, this is, for lack of a better word, important.

SPLATTER DISCO

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

A serial killer stalking nightclub patrons and employees isn't exactly ground breaking. If the writer could have come up with something a bit more sinister, I think he would have had a real winner.

NOT SO “AMATEUR”: REGAN REESE EXPOSED

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

Perhaps Reese will be the first star to, a-hem, straddle both the adult and mainstream film worlds without the standard prejudices that come with that sort of thing.

THE FOLK SINGER

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

It is a meandering film that is far more complex than what most people are used to in a movie, and that alone ensures that not enough people will give it a chance. That is, quite frankly, a shame, as this is probably one of the best films to come out of 2008...

EVILMAKER DOUBLE FEATURE (DVD)

LIVEWIRE

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

As low budget films of this sort go, this one is fairly solid. One of its faults, however, is that it is too short. We have enough time to know the characters and their motivations, and we get a great scene of The Gimmick in action, but somehow the movie fails to absorb the viewer...

THE OTHER SIDE

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

I'm sure I'm not the only viewer who thought of this movie as "Ghost" for guys. It has similar themes but they are handled in such a cool way that you can't help but appreciate what the filmmakers have done here...

FEAR HOUSE (DVD)

ACROSS THE LINE

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

When it comes to movies, it's a crime to be instantly forgettable. "Across the Line" is guilty of that here, and there isn't a lawyer in the world good enough to get that charge dismissed...

Doug Brunell — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

This is a realistic-looking snuff movie that plays like something a killer would film. The sex is real, the violence is not bloody (which works in its favor), and all of that works to gives viewers a very tangible sense of uneasiness as they watch...
