Sex and the City

The new feature stands on its own (typically stilettoed) feet, while holding fast to the series’ singular mix of the giddily ribald and brutally confessional.

5x2

Ozon's film begins at the end and leads backward over the slow death of a couple's marital bliss, but even while we’re flipping through the snapshots of two people’s disenchantment with each other, it never feels tawdry or excessive or, for that matter, very interesting.

"...Pool, and while there’s no Ludivine Sagnier – or Charlotte Rampling for that matter – to draw the eye..."

The Duchess

Keira Knightley stars as the titular Duchess, a legendary wit and arbiter of taste, but the film is a curiously inert: a whole lot of pomp and incircumstance.

You Don't Mess With the Zohan

As far as we know, this Adam Sandler movie is the first Hollywood-made Jewish/Palestinian/immigrant comedy that also doubles as a surprisingly trenchant analysis of the Middle East's perpetual bloodbath.

Basic Instinct 2

This wholly unwarranted sequel is so outrageously preposterous (and chockablock with bad dialogue) that the end result achieves a basement grandeur of near-epic proportions.
