Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone (2010) Luke Y. Thompson It's a much more interesting story than your usual Behind the Music arc.

The Fighter (2010) Luke Y. Thompson Count me in as a lover of THE FIGHTER.

The King's Speech (2010) Luke Y. Thompson I think it would be more effective on the stage, sans score and with only the implications of greater world events in the background.

Life During Wartime (2009) Luke Y. Thompson The latest film by Todd Solondz is total critic-porn. I'm not sure whether or not broader audiences will embrace it, but then again, with this director, one never can be.

Despicable Me (2010) Luke Y. Thompson Though it utilizes the latest visual technology, the cartoon comedy sensibility of DESPICABLE ME is old-school all the way

Monsters (2010) Luke Y. Thompson "It's different looking at America from outside," they say, just in case we missed the metaphor.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984) Luke Y. Thompson It's a whole lot of thought put into a movie in which not very much happens.

Lebanon (2009) Luke Y. Thompson ...one of the best films of the year so far
Posted Jun 23, 2010  Edit critic review
Cold Weather (2010) Luke Y. Thompson Once the story picks up, however, damned if Katz doesn't create genuine suspense, even though the stakes are almost hilariously low.
Posted Jun 23, 2010  Edit critic review
The Tillman Story (2010) Luke Y. Thompson This is a strong documentary
Posted Jun 22, 2010  Edit critic review
The Killer Inside Me (2010) Luke Y. Thompson It's a character study of a sociopath, and works as such...as narrative or titillation, a lot less so.
Posted Jun 19, 2010  Edit critic review
The Kids Are All Right (2010) Luke Y. Thompson What we have is an amiable character portrait that is enjoyable at times, but for me, difficult to get emotionally invested in.

Micmacs (2009) Luke Y. Thompson Jeunet, like his obvious antecedent Terry Gilliam, is good at making stuff that's cool, and that should not be casually dismissed. But while he aims for the belly laugh, he misses the heart

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) Luke Y. Thompson For all the talk of parkour, we never once feel the true tension of someone on a high wall taking death-defying chances. Even Disney's animated Aladdin seemed to be in more danger.

MacGruber (2010) Luke Y. Thompson ...if a movie makes me laugh hard, and particularly if it does so on purpose, I call that good enough.
Posted May 21, 2010  Edit critic review
Letters to Juliet (2010) Luke Y. Thompson From the people who wish they'd brought you THE NOTEBOOK.
Posted May 13, 2010  Edit critic review
Solomon Kane (2009) Luke Y. Thompson Don't misunderstand -- this is no masterpiece akin to Orson Welles' similarly named Citizen, but it's entertaining pulp, cheesy but not campy.
Posted Apr 28, 2010  Edit critic review
I Am Love (2009) Luke Y. Thompson The movie isn't flawless -- a bizarre post-credits bit is nigh-impossible to make out -- but [Guadagnino's] skill with visual poetry makes a strong impression.
Posted Apr 28, 2010  Edit critic review
The Sicilian Girl (2009) Luke Y. Thompson SICILIAN GIRL is, for my money, a more accessible and engrossing mafia tale than GOMORRA
Posted Apr 28, 2010  Edit critic review
Suck (2009) Luke Y. Thompson Cameos from the likes of Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins, Moby, Iggy Pop, and Alex Lifeson would seem to indicate that this is something to watch...instead, they clue us in that these no-longer-young rockers will apparently do anything for a buck.
Posted Apr 28, 2010  Edit critic review
Death at a Funeral (2010) Luke Y. Thompson The new DEATH AT A FUNERAL is every bit as profane as its predecessor, but it's a hell of a lot funnier.
Posted Apr 16, 2010  Edit critic review
Chloe (2009) Luke Y. Thompson Things escalate slightly ludicrously...which may be the point - it feels like Egoyan is rather deliberately going over the top in most respects.
Posted Mar 25, 2010  Edit critic review
The Red Baron (2008) Luke Y. Thompson Alas, this BARON is barren, more dead than red.
Posted Mar 20, 2010  Edit critic review
Alice in Wonderland (2010) Luke Y. Thompson Less a sequel to the original book than a sequel to the Disney animated version of the book, this movie is a wonder to look at, but a chore to sit through.

North Face (2008) Luke Y. Thompson One hates to be overly hyperbolic about a movie in February, but let's just say I'll be very impressed if a movie grips me with its tension as much as did this for the rest of the first quarter of 2010 (how's that for an ad pullquote?).

Frozen (2010) Luke Y. Thompson Will Adam Green make a great, iconic movie eventually? In time, perhaps. I don't think we do him any favors to claim he already has...but I will say that FROZEN is a step in the right direction.

The Shock Doctrine (2009) Luke Y. Thompson I'd recommend this most to younger audiences who are starting to take an interest in politics, and would be interested in a crash course on the last 30 years or so, at least from one particular perspective.

7 Days (2010) Luke Y. Thompson I found myself noticing the room tone above all else, which may be a testament to the sound guy, but it's also a testament to how engrossing some other aspects of the movie aren't.
Posted Jan 22, 2010  Edit critic review
44 Inch Chest (2009) Luke Y. Thompson There is an inherent degree of likability to a project like this, given the actors involved, but 44 INCH CHEST never transcends that to be greater than the sum of its cast.
Posted Jan 14, 2010  Edit critic review
5/5
Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985) Luke Y. Thompson Even with some minor off-color humor, the movie retains its innocence without being bland, which is a tough balance to pull off.
