Hitchcock said a movie should play the audience like a piano. Death Race played me like a drum. It is an assault on all the senses, including common. Walking out, I had the impression I had just seen the video game and was still waiting for the movie. The time

If I’ve seen one movie about a team of underdogs from a small town, I’ve seen a dozen. But I hadn’t seen The Longshots before. It’s based on the true story of 11-year-old Jasmine Plummer, from the Chicago suburb of Harvey, who in 2003 became the first female to play

The thing about a Woody Allen film is, whatever else happens, the characters are intriguing to listen to. They tend to be smart, witty, not above epigrams. A few days before seeing Vicky Cristina Barcelona, I viewed his Hannah and Her Sisters again. More than 20 years apart, both with

The documentary Hearts of Darkness is about the struggles of filming the great Vietnam War movie Apocalypse Now. Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder plays like the doc’s nightmare.

David Gordon Green, that poet of the cinema, is the last person you’d expect to find directing a Judd Apatow male-buddy comedy about two potheads who start a drug war. But he does such a good job there’s a danger he’ll become in demand by mainstream Hollywood and tempted away
