Jeremy Irons
Callas Forever (2004)
The
Carmen
sequences, though consistent with
Callas Forever
's washed-out '70s look, have a beauty and immediacy which the rest of the film lacks.
Being Julia (2004)
Not the stodgy costume drama it may appear to be...To Bening's triumph, the audience can only love Julia, warts and all, by picture's end.
William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)
Radford takes a stylish but decidedly low-key tack, demanding naturalist acting to crawl under the viewer's skin.
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
A confused and confusing compromise at best and a dull obfuscation of history at worst.
Casanova (2005)
A modern romantic comedy movie transplanted to 18th Century Venice...Hallstrom's fleet-footed romp is impossible to take seriously, but that's largely the point.
Inland Empire (2006)
In his 36 years of filmmaking, David Lynch has never been more fearless or more fearsome...
Inland Empire
brims with surprising and scary images.
The Kingdom (2007)
The Man in the Iron Mask (1998)
Margin Call (2011)
Chandor’s social critique may or may not stand the test of time, but as all eyes turn to the 'Occupy' movement,
Margin Call
is entirely right for this moment.
The Lion King (2011)
It's not hard to understand why
The Lion King
's good-vs.-evil adventure and high-spirited comic passages haven't lost their appeal.
The Words (2012)
A fairly straightforward yarn with bluntly articulated themes of Regret, Guilt, Misplaced Trust, and the Vagaries of Fate.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
[SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:] This is not a drill, comic-book geeks.
The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016)
Can repeat its formula by rote, but develops no breakthrough theory of its own.
Assassin's Creed (2016)
Despite its style points, fails to resonate on a higher octave than its low hum of dark doings, leaping around, and fisticuffs.
Justice League (2017)
These comic-book cinematic universes...train audiences to see the forest for the trees...Enjoy the trees. For the forest is a tad gnarly.
