25 Words or Less: Call This Consumer Protection

CALL THIS CONSUMER PROTECTION

Movies are now ten bucks a pop. Time is more valuable than that. Discerning consumers, take a minute to read our reviews and maybe we can spare you the pain. Then again, everyone has their own opinion…

A BEAUTIFUL MIND

(Ron Howard, 2001) Complex mind, simple movie. Too simple. Hollywood Howard assumes the audience has no mind of their own.

GOSFORD PARK

(Robert Altman, 2002) Altman wrangles a massive, talented cast for this complex manor mystery of masters and servants. Certainly no thrill ride, but lingeringly thoughtful.

HOME MOVIE

(Chris Smith, 2002) House = person, person = house. Documentary showcases five unique houses and weirdos within. Great fun. Makes your suburban cookie cutter look worse than ever.

IN THE BEDROOM

(Todd Field, 2001) Slow and compelling, and ultimately too sort of sleepy. Acting is first rate, but story spins on too long. So there.

INSOMNIA

(Christopher Nolan, 2002) Pacino cop - retread. Bad Mork - so what? Remake of ‘97 Swedish film (American’s can’t read subtitles - pathetic). Alaska in Canada - traitorous. Meaningless. Entertaining. Summary: mooseturd.

SPIDERMAN

(Sam Raimi, 2002) Another comic book on the screen. Yawn. Movie starts subtle but quickly gets long and loud, feels factory made.

STAR WARS: EPISODE II - ATTACK OF THE CLONES

(George Lucas, 2002) Flogging a dead banta? Maybe, but this installment is highly entertaining with Yoda letting loose. Love scenes, a real laugh.

— Demon

Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN

(Alfonso Cauron, 2001) Rich and poor revealed in this raunchy, rowdy, road movie with psychology to spare. This popular art house hit lives up to the hype.
