Review of Attenberg (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 22 Mar 2011

Can't we allow ourselves to blamelessly dehumanize one group of real-life boogeymen without the fear of some would-be humanist insisting…

Review of Eden Log (2007)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 16 Mar 2011

Though it looks like a highly polished, quasi-avant-garde bit of speculative fiction, contemporary French sci-fi flick Eden Log is really a…

Review of Mars Needs Moms (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 10 Mar 2011

The film's production values are almost enough to make the film's monumental shortcomings worth overlooking. But only almost…

Review of Drive Angry (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Mar 2011

While serious-minded critics are still trying to figure out what 3D can do to enhance the cinematic experience, director Patrick Lussier is…

Review of The Pest (1997)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

It pains me to admit just how obnoxious The Pest is because it has all the ingredients of the kind of guilty pleasure I love…

Review of Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

Leave it to Andrew Lau, the director most famous for co-helming Infernal Affairs, to drown a staid, fool-proof setup for success in…

Review of OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

What makes Lost in Rio more entertaining than it should be is the few elements of misappropriated nostalgia that rise above the rest of the…

Review of Avatar (2009)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

Cameron knows the viewer will recognize Avatar's story from elsewhere, whether as the love affair between John Smith and Pocahontas or…

Review of Avatar (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

Cameron knows the viewer will recognize Avatar's story from elsewhere, whether as the love affair between John Smith and Pocahontas or…

Review of The Book of Eli (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

While the whole film looks like its aesthetic was cobbled together from some as-yet-unreleased Resident Evil game, the action scenes look…

Review of The Return of the Living Dead (1985)

By Simon Abrams (730) for House Next Door (153) on 25 Feb 2011

The Return of the Living Dead is in fact the real deal…

Review of Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son (2011)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 23 Feb 2011

It's a true rubber-necker's delight, a comedy so inconceivably tacky that it will make you question whether or not you're laughing at the…

Review of The Rite (1969)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Feb 2011

The Rite trots out the tired old belief that catering to cynical viewers' assumptions is half the battle in convincing them that they're…

Review of The Rite (2011)

The Rite trots out the tired old belief that catering to cynical viewers' assumptions is half the battle in convincing them that they're…

Review of Repo Chick (2009)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Jan 2011

Like Waldo's Hawaiian Holiday, Alex Cox's unproduced first sequel to Repo Man, which was later turned into a comic book, Repo Chick is a…

Review of Ong Bak 3 (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 22 Jan 2011

Most of Ong Bak 3's spectacular shortcomings are forgivable because, to a large extent, the film is everything you came to see and then some…

Review of Dhobi Ghat (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Village Voice (8,525) on 18 Jan 2011

Had Rao chosen to foreground her tantalizing ideas instead of her instantly forgettable characters, Mumbai Diaries could have been more…

Review of Yogi Bear (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 02 Jan 2011

Yogi Bear is pretty bad, but it's not apocalyptically horrid--and that's its biggest problem…

Review of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010)

By Simon Abrams (730) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 18 Dec 2010

Review of Faster! (2010)
