Anjelica Huston
Blood Work (2002)
This vehicle—the cinematic equivalent of a supermarket paperback—plays like the best-ever episode of
Matlock
rather than a truly distinguished feature film.
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
Admirably scruffy in its droll comic pursuits, but has all the storytelling aplomb of a Sunday-funnies section.
Ladies in Lavender (2005)
Dance allows Dench to overact her lovestruck nervousness...By the time he stages a hay-baling montage, you'll have had enough of this close-but-no-cigar misfire.
Lonesome Dove (TV) (1989)
Remains the gold standard for the TV miniseries format...stands among the best Western films ever made.
Choke (2008)
Incorporates Freudian psychodrama, twisted romance, and national satire while giving redemption the Heimlich maneuver.
When in Rome (2010)
Can I interest you in a nice nap?
50/50 (2011)
50/50
isn’t interested in defeatism, except as one inevitable way station of the film’s appealing emotional ramble.
The Big Year (2011)
If the mere mention of the blue-footed booby sends you into paroxysms,
The Big Year
is the film for you.
Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)
Nervy and unnerving...arguably the purest expression of Allen's cinematic vision.
