I Am
Legend: “In a movie devastating in its moments of quiet realism,
it's too bad the antagonists look like cartoons. Put them aside, and you should
enjoy the haunted Manhattan
of I
Am Legend.”
Youth Without Youth: “Abandon
hope, all ye who enter this picture seeking narrative coherence. But if you're
in the mood for a visually stunning, batshit-loco jaunt into Eastern European
mysticism, you could do considerably worse.”
The Kite
Runner: “The [film] may not feel
staggeringly original, but it's hard not to be moved by Hosseini's epic,
devastating tale of ruined friendships and a destroyed country.”
Look:
“Generally, one feels less a sympathy for the spied-upon than a sense that
these people should be watched carefully at all times. This actually makes for
a pretty entertaining hundred minutes, but as far as thematic resonance, it's a
bust”
