It’s a rare post that has more positive than negative reviews. But surprisingly enough, most of these films are worth your time and money.
This remake of 1978’s Fingers is one of the best films of the still-young year:
The Beat That My Heart Skipped (Slant magazine)
A well-done documentary on Enron:
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (Slant magazine)
A decent crime pic from the producer of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels:
Layer Cake (Slant magazine)
Two new Errol Flynn DVDs:
Captain Blood – DVD (Slant magazine)
They Died With Their Boots On – DVD (Slant magazine)
And for those looking for some nastiness, my write-ups of a new “urban” comedy catastrophe and an upcoming dramedy disaster:
King’s Ransom (Slant magazine)
Happy Endings (Slant magazine)
Finally, I’ve also got three new reviews posted below – for Fingers, Read My Lips, and Birth.
