The Reflecting Skin | Electric Sheep | Ed Gibbs | Philip Ridley's acclaimed tale of childhood, vampires and the prairie is as beautiful and menacing as ever. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,419 |
The Tribe | Electric Sheep | Greg Klymkiw | A sad, shocking and undeniably harrowing dramatic reflection of Ukraine with the searing truthful lens of a stylistic documentary treatment (at times similar to that of Austrian auteur Ulrich Seidl). | 5/5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | false | 8 | 9 | 2 | 1,419 |
The Witch | Electric Sheep | Greg Klymkiw | The Witch is bargain basement Terence Malick crossed with a Roman Polanski wannabe and dollops of half-baked Bergman, but worse yet, is not unlike lower-drawer M. Night Shyamalan. | 2/5 | 5 | 2 | 5 | false | 2 | 9 | 2 | 1,419 |
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets | Electric Sheep | Greg Klymkiw | Yes, it's safe to say that Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is stupid, but it's dopey, dumb and delightfully loopy in all the right ways. | 4/5 | 5 | 4 | 5 | false | 6 | 9 | 2 | 1,419 |
Christmas With the Kranks | Ellsworth American | Kam Williams | Some pathetically predictable plot twists and syrupy sentimentality, which could only amuse a five year-old, lead the Kranks back to their materialistic senses in time for a Kodak moment which shouts a rather shallow Merry Capitalism to all! | 0/4 | 4 | 0 | 4 | true | 0 | 5 | 1 | 1,420 |
Broken Arrow | EmanuelLevy.Com | Emanuel Levy | One of the first Hollywood movies to preach for accord between Native Americans and white civilization. While the liberal ideology is commendable, the portrayal of Cochise by white actor Jeff Chandler is not. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1,421 |
The Chase | EmanuelLevy.Com | Emanuel Levy | Preceding Bonnie and Clyde by a year, Arthur Penn's small-town drama, flaunting a top-notch cast (Brando, Redford, Jane Fonda) is a quintessential movie pointing to the thematic and tonal direction Hollywood would take in the late 1960s. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1,421 |
The Connection | EmanuelLevy.Com | Emanuel Levy | Though now hailed as trailblazer for alternative cinema, at the time, Clarke's experimental work about heroin junkies, was so controversial that it was banned for a year due to its "foul" language. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 1,421 |
Born Yesterday | EmanuelLevy.Com | Emanuel Levy | In this pointless remake, essaying the Judy Holliday Oscar-winning role, Melanie Griffith gives a poor performance, marked by monotonous delivery and tiresome semi-spunky routines. | 1/4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | false | 0 | 4 | 1 | 1,421 |
