Blue in the Face (1995) 42% 2.5/5 EDIT “It feels less like a movie than a lost episode of the old Steve Allen or Jack Paar late-night chat shows.” – TV Guide Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Strange Days (1995) 71% 2.5/5 EDIT “Strange Days hurtles down the track for two hours, frantically trying to warn us en route to the Big Switchback, only to pull up in a hiss of smoke and hot air.” – TV Guide Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Showgirls (1995) 24% 1.5/5 EDIT “Showgirls is a positively detumescent experience.” – TV Guide Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Dead Presidents (1995) 47% 2.5/5 EDIT “Judging by Dead Presidents and his previous film, The Inkwell, the only thing standing between 20-year-old Tate and mainstream stardom is a decent script.” – TV Guide Jan 30, 2019 Full Review Route 181: Fragments of a Journey in Palestine-Israel (2004) EDIT “The film is an insult to peace.” – Film Comment Magazine Apr 11, 2018 Full Review The Big Short (2015) 89% EDIT “The Big Short is the truth-telling picture of the year. It puts beautifully shaded characters in guy comedy mode into an Altman-esque narrative, shot counter to type by Ken Loach's cinematographer, Barry Ackroyd.” – Film Comment Magazine Jan 4, 2016 Full Review The Master (2012) 85% 4/4 EDIT “Anderson has achieved his mid-century epic, and in its pure 65mm sumptuousness, the great American movie.” – Boston Phoenix Jan 8, 2013 Full Review Get Shorty (1995) 89% 3/5 EDIT “This Hollywood is the one we want to believe exists: no film school snots here, no MBA's, no dock-worker philosophers-turned-screenwriters. Just a town full of second-rate swindlers where a clear-eyed racketeer can keep his eye on the ball and rise.” – TV Guide May 7, 2008 Full Review To Die For (1995) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Like Roseanne, Gus Van Sant refuses to compromise his trademark smarty-pants assault on storybook America.” – TV Guide Feb 12, 2008 Full Review Leaving Las Vegas (1995) 90% 3/5 EDIT “It's a relief when so dark a film refuses to preach, trusting the viewer to draw his own conclusions about the roots of America's self-destructive funk.” – TV Guide Feb 11, 2008 Full Review
