Battle For Haditha (Nick Broomfield, 2007) Hoo boy. Nick Broomfield's ironically titled docudrama about the 2005 Haditha killings follows that fateful day in the lives of the soldiers, the insurgents, and of course, the innocents who were slaught...

Please help me.

It has not been a great week. In fact, I'd say that it's been a bad week. But despite everything, I feel pretty good, and that's because I can take comfort in the fact that I am not this guy: That's all.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street A Little Priest

For a filmmaker that sucks as much as Tim Burton sucks, he's sure got a lot of stupendous films under his belt. For every ill-conceived Planet of the Apes remake, there's a Beetlejuice or a Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. For every manic Charlie and the...

It provoked a visceral reaction in Armond White though, whose incredib...

Jumper (Doug Liman, 2008)

Jumper is a monumentally stupid movie about a guy with god-like powers who uses them to look cool standing in front of tourist attractions. It's going for the "superheroes without capes" thing that people seem to be into right now, and it succeed...

Here's hoping that Season Three remembers to not be terrible. Season Two forgot. Oh man, I'm funny.

Control (Anton Corbjin, 2007)

The musical biopic has enjoyed such success as a genre only because the filmmaker autobiopic isn't yet a marketable option. So much ego and artistic masturbation is poured into the genre's masterworks, whether it's Taylor Hackford's Ray or last y...

Paranoid Park (Gus Van Sant, 2007)

Paranoid Park is at once a hollow non-event and a completely entrancing piece of thing. Gus Van Sant's latest meditation on beautiful young people doing awful things or having awful things done to them really had its way with me, much more so tha...
