Tall tale about a quartet of Honty Tonk Harlots, as the wanted posters describe them, on the run from Pinkerton detectives while simultaneously in pursuit of the outlaw gang that made off with their $12,000 nest egg. (In pursuit, more poetically, more American Dreamily, of a clean start at an …
A willing suspension of disbelief (and a high tolerance for fart humor) comes with the territory. Humans conversing with upright anthropomorphic animals or creatures clad in civilian garb? No problem. Hell, I’ll even buy the Flintstones celebrating Christmas before Christ. But you will never convince me that a shark and …
An ex-lawyer schemes with a few former clients to distribute a new designer drug. Directed by Rick Jacobson.
A out-of-work single mom (Samantha Castillo) goes into homophobic panic when she begins to notice her 9-year-old son, Junior (Samuel Lange Zambrano), picking up certain gender-bending habits: sitting down to pee, fixating on televised beauty contests, and entertaining a fetishitic obsession with making straight the mangled curls he inherited from …
With this one added on to Bedroom Window (added on to the screenplay of Silent Partner), Curtis Hanson has taken another long stride toward enthroning himself as the Patricia Highsmith of the cinema. Never mind "the new Alfred Hitchcock" and never mind the "innocent man" theme. What Highsmith knows well, …
Terry Malick's re-examination of the Charles Starkweather case is conducted under antiseptic laboratory conditions. A homicidal maniac, who does an uncanny James Dean impression in T-shirt and cowboy boots, and his baton-twirler girlfriend, take flight, cross-country; but they find themselves continually penned into arty, desolate compositions and saddled with inane …

He takes drugs the whole day through (albeit holding …
Nearly but not quite a remake of Abel Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant of 1992, at the very least a relocation of it from the Big Apple to the Big Easy, perhaps simply a variation on a theme — all the same kinds of badness, drugs, gambling, prostitutes, a blind eye to …
Cut out “Moms.” From Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the headaches behind The Hangover, comes Moe (Mila Kunis), Larry (Kristen Bell) and dirty Curly (Kathryn Hahn) in a Three Stoogettes comedy made by men, but geared for a woman. I’d trade a hundred Melissa McCarthy slob turns for just five …
Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn return, looking to put the ass back in Christmas. That’s about as witty as it gets in this rancid sequel to an equally rank forerunner. What’s funnier than three bad moms? How about three bad moms and their mothers! I love Kathryn Hahn, …
