Prayers for Bobby (2009) 73% EDIT “Weaver gives what is undeniably one of her best performances.” – PopMatters Oct 3, 2019 Full Review Soul Surfer (2011) 45% 4/10 EDIT “Ah, paradise -- the opening credits end and Bethany heads out of the water to church, a tent on the beach where Carrie Underwood is singing. Wait! Carrie Underwood?” – PopMatters May 1, 2011 Full Review Scream 4 (2011) 61% EDIT “The Screams have always focused on the grisly business of turning horror into entertainment, and predictable entertainment at that.” – PopMatters May 1, 2011 Full Review The Next Three Days (2010) 50% EDIT “John's not Keyser Sze, but John does have a self-certainty and aptitude for rationalization and moral relativism that make him just a little creepy.” – PopMatters Nov 20, 2010 Full Review Inception (2010) 87% EDIT “It's too easy to see not only that Mal is trouble, but also that Dom will walk right into that trouble she is.” – PopMatters Aug 7, 2010 Full Review Hearts and Minds (1974) 90% 9/10 EDIT “The urgency of Hearts and Minds, its anger and its articulation, its insistence that effects of war be visible, and its cogent analysis of connections among politics, media, and the military, all seem apt lessons for today.” – PopMatters Apr 7, 2009 Full Review The Pink Panther 2 (2009) 13% 3/10 EDIT “Much of the "comedy" in The Pink Panther 2 is a rehashing of the jokes from the first film.” – PopMatters Mar 8, 2009 Full Review Examined Life (2008) 77% 7/10 EDIT “In Examined Life, a lively assembly of philosophers ponder the question: "What's at stake here?"” – PopMatters Mar 8, 2009 Full Review Cherry Blossoms (2008) 79% 4/10 EDIT “As Cherry Blossoms (Kirschblüten - Hanami) begins, Trudi is surprised when she learns her husband is dying of an unnamed condition.” – PopMatters Mar 8, 2009 Full Review Trouble the Water (2008) 96% 10/10 EDIT “Trouble the Water reveals not only the terrors of the hurricane but also the political and personal valences of its legendary mismanagement.” – PopMatters Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Ran (1985) 96% EDIT “Kurosawa follows the structure of Shakespeare's play with great care.” – PopMatters Jun 13, 2001 Full Review
