Josh Brolin
Into the Blue (2005)
Primarily,
Into the Blue
displays plenty of priceless booty (and the treasure is impressive, too...).
Grindhouse (Planet Terror & Death Proof) (2007)
Grindhouse
isn't great cinema, but it is a genuine event picture, a rare good reason to venture out on a Friday night with a big crowd and the necessary wad of cash.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
The most fascinating element of the film is its formal linking of its multiple, no-nonsense protagonists.
American Gangster (2007)
Inflated talk of
American Gangster
as a modern masterpiece--or even an Oscar-worthy picture--ignores the fact that there's not a single memorable setpiece in the film.
W. (2008)
Equal parts comedy (inevitably only-in-America satire) and Oedipal psycho-drama...[from] the bard of American political cinema.
Milk (2008)
That
Milk
is merely excellent and not transcendent should not obscure its importance to popular culture...
True Grit (2010)
Now with 30% more grit!
The Tillman Story (2010)
It's no mistake that the film's (anti-)resolving image is a statue of Tillman, frozen in time as a heroic but Sphynx-like riddle.
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger (2010)
Allen has here an interesting idea-that placebos may 'work better' than medicine-to noodle over and ultimately reject; it's just a shame he doesn't entertain us more in the process.
Men in Black 3 (2012)
Has no MSG. I mention this because many will probably want to make a meal of it and, it should be said, it's both pretty tasty and will leave you feeling hungry an hour later...
Gangster Squad (2013)
The sheer bulk of talent involved (top-tier technicians and designers included) turns out to be a case of water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink.
Labor Day (2013)
A laughably precise, even parodic, archetype of a fantasy male...[and an] offensive stereotype of a female basket case who, more than anything, needs a strong man, preferably a bad-boy hunk with an easy touch for her and a slow hand for a Swiffer.
Inherent Vice (2015)
The plot is a sideshow to
Inherent Vice
's luxuriant atmosphere, cracked sense of humor, and idiosyncratic characterization.
Hail, Caesar! (2016)
In a way, the amusing, preposterous
Hail, Caesar!
, for all its arch postmodernism, becomes what it pastiches, resembling the kind of '50s film we can now watch and admire for a kind of cultural reflection without exactly considering it a success.
Only the Brave (2017)
An old-fashioned action-adventure story with star performances, given a sacred tinge by its real-life roots.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Marvel tourists may surprise themselves how much they care...while fanatics will have a geekgasm of heretofore undiscovered proportions at what amounts to the biggest series finale ever. To put it more politely, they’ll love it “times 3000.&rd
