The Kominsky Method’s broad, formulaic humor undercuts any poignancy in the show’s portrayal of men in their twilight.
No one in Zach Braff’s Going in Style seems to really know what the hell they’re doing or why.
The In-Laws looks swell in its Blu-ray debut thanks to another stellar release from the Criterion Collection.
Sloppy and haphazard where it should be calculatedly chaotic, it can’t ever seem to settle on an appropriate tone.
It boils an entire culture down to repetitive pastiche on its way to that glittering homogeneous fantasyland of sports-movie magic.
So wantonly clichéd that to watch it is to explore the outer perimeters of one’s own tolerance for a specific type of feel-good sports film.
This more-than-game Sherlock Holmes pastiche makes its high-definition debut on Blu-ray sporting a solid transfer.
The film is overtly suspicious and critical of the new and only serviceably romantic about the old.
Despite the hysteria, it may not be appropriate yet to call a time of death on the decades and decades’ worth of precedent that will be shattered when Argo wins Best Picture.
It’s at this point we had to ask ourselves, “Is Argo really going to end up a two-Oscar Best Picture winner?”
The top-notch packaging reveals Argo for what it really is: a coolly realized, wildly reckless actioner.
All right, all right, all right. We should’ve known.
With all due respect to the gentlemen in contention, this year’s likely Supporting Actor crop has shaped up to be a snooze.
The film is a sloppy cross-mutation of overused generic plot templates.
You might have noticed that Hollywood’s superhero well is running a little dry.
The film emerged from Toronto as virtually every pundit’s Best Picture frontrunner.
Undeniably rousing, but deeply irresponsible, Argo fans the flames surrounding historical events likely to still remain raw in the memory of many viewers.
Though not a banner release, this Blu-ray of Armitage’s deceptively breezy dark comedy boasts a strong A/V transfer.
A veritable romper-room presentation of this lovable (or, for some, insistently love-craving), reflexive musical comedy.
The icy fatalism of film noir is turned to slush by Thin Ice.
