Animal films are critical landmines. Step wrong, opinion-wise, and readers will accuse you of being everything from heartless and insensitive to PETA's public enemy number one. Clearly, Old Yeller and other four-footed tearjerkers have made canines the noblest of our beloved domesticated friends. After topping the bestseller's list with his autobiographical memoir Marley and Me, journalist John Grogan is seeing his tale of the world's worst pooch finally make it to the big screen -- and it's time to get out the tar and feathers. Instead of being uplifting and heartwarming, this excruciating effort is 90 minutes of mediocrity followed by 10 minutes of the most manipulative, mean-spirited pap ever put into a movie made for families. read the full review | |

Darjeeling Limited | | | Starring: Adrien Brody Jason Schwartzman Director: Wes Anderson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 10/20/2009 | | The Darjeeling Limited - DVD Review By: Rafe Telsch - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/3/2008 9:01 PM | | Anderson's style is clearly visible with some of the abrupt camera pans and movements, but it adds even more character to the movie as it allows the camera to explore part of the Indian environment than you might see in a different director's vision, including things like decorative ceilings. The cinematography, including a judicious use of slow motion, definitely helps the movie acquire an "artsy status," although the film remains accessible thanks to its content read the full review | |
