A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"Richard Linklater's squiggly new film, A Scanner Darkly, is an ambitious attempt to find the right visual style to render the experience of drug addiction and the paranoid vision of novelist Philip K. Dick, into a distinctive visual form." |
Liam Lacey |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"The movie isn't just about Schmidt as a personality, it's a portrait of his world, and Payne and co-writer Taylor show a rare compassion for the superficially comfortable." |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"Yes, this is tour de force stuff, and yet, just like a good pop tune, the premise is all boy-meets-girl simplicity." |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"There is something poignant about being 'the only kid in town without a Christmas tree.' Too bad you have to dig through so much stinky stuff to get to it." |

Liam Lacey |

The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"Narratively, what we have here is a basic road movie, a genre that too often doubles as an excuse to hide a flawed script -- merely an episodic series of loose vignettes." |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |

Air Guitar Nation (2007) |
"It's no small feat to film a documentary like this with the right balance of reverence for the craft of air guitar and good, old-fashioned shooting at an easy target, but Lipsitz pulls it off." |
