Before we begin, let us first have a moment of silence in honor of the part of my soul that died after seeing this movie. Alright, that’s long enough. Now let me explain why Honey sucked. First of all, I know nobody is expecting this movie to be good....
Tom Wilkinson plays Roy, a small-town Midwestern husband and father, and Jessica Lange plays his old-fashioned and sensible wife Irma. Roy faints at a party celebrating his and his wife’s 25th anniversary, and it signals the end of a secret that has been tearing him apart. He goes with...
The fact that April’s Shower, a tedious, middling “romantic comedy,” not only made the cut for this year’s Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, but was featured as a centerpiece (i.e. the token girl-movie showcase) shows what a crappy year it is for lesbian cinema. I was ready to give...
L.A. pretty-boy Christian (Wesley A. Ramsey) is blessed with modelesque good looks, and the effortless ability to pick up and take home any man he wants—even if the guy is seemingly straight! One day, a group of clean-cut guys move into a neighboring apartment, and Christian rubs his hands...
After the huge popular and critical success of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas cruised on their egos and made the dark, unfunny, and overall icky sequel Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, disappointing critics, and horrifying fans with its masochistic violence and its...
Until I rewatched Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom recently, I had forever associated the film with getting my teeth drilled. Literally. You see, the last time I had seen the stinkiest of the Indiana Jones series was when I was at the dentist getting some fillings. My...
Ah, yes, it was the summer of 1981… I was 11 years old, and all of us neighborhood kids whiled away our time playing Space Invaders, furiously working on our Rubik’s cubes, and reliving the thrill of seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark in the theater. We’d enthusiastically recap...
I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a Japan-o-phile. I (heart) Japan! When I heard about this film, about a couple of Americans wandering around Tokyo, I immediately thought, “Oooo… now there’s the movie that I would make if I had money/talent/actor friends!” Lucky for me, Sofia Coppola, who...
Who’da thought that they’d be making movies based on underground comics? Following the critical success of movies like Ghost World (based on a “graphic novel”) and Crumb (a documentary about a freaky indie comic book artist), we now have the equally quirky American Splendor. Not quite a documentary, and...
Sugar Sweet is not as saucy as the movie summary suggests. In fact, it is a cute comedy and love story, purportedly the first film from Japan by a lesbian filmmaker. If it had taken place in the US, and starred American actors, I’ll admit that it wouldn’t seem...
On that note, meet Kira (Stine Stengade), a woman who has just come home from a stay in a mental hospital. Her husband Mans (Lars Mikkelsen) is a great guy: sympathetic, and gently encouraging his wife back into a normal daily and social routine. Except Kira is not quite...
That’s what I kept thinking all through this smart, spirited, updated remake of the 1976 Disney classic based on the book by Mary Rodgers. The body-switcheroo story finds stressed-out psychologist Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) at odds with her 15-year-old daughter, Anna (Lindsay Lohan), over just about everything. Events...
