 | In Good Company (2004)
Corporations in America are growing ever stronger, and, conversely, the individuals who make up the workforce of the corporations are losing their identities and growing weaker. In Good Company, a film that I was expecting to be lighter and more of a romantic comedy, takes a look inside a... | | review posted: May 17, 2005 |
|  | The Jerk (1979)
The Jerk, a comedy that marked the big screen debut of Steve Martin, is a pretty funny film because of its complete absurdity. It doesn't seek to do anything beyond providing laughs by way of slapstick, and most of the time the jokes are funny, but for a film of this nature to completely... | | review posted: May 8, 2005 |

 | The Terminal (2004)
The Terminal, a story about a man without a country trapped in an airport for an indefinite amount of time, starts out innocently enough, hits its stride in the first thirty minutes, then once it reaches its midpoint, it gradually becomes worse and worse, until the end, when I was left... | | review posted: April 9, 2005 |
|  | Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Mutilating zombies has never been funnier than in Shaun of the Dead. Taking a page from the Evil Dead franchise, this film provides plenty of blood, guts, and gut-busting comedy. But what's really brilliant about it is that it doesn't limit itself to comedy and zombie-killing, but also... |  | review posted: March 28, 2005 |

 | I Heart Huckabees (2004)
I Heart Huckabees is a film about everything and nothing all at once. Actually, that's a lie, it's not about that at all. Well, it is, sort of. It pretends to be about existentialism but really what it's about is satirizing philosophy and exposing how ludicrous the whole thing is. There... | | review posted: March 23, 2005 |
|  | The Barbarian Invasions (2003)
The Barbarian Invasions is a rare and unconventional film: it is complicated, but the complications come not from the plot, but from the characters. At the end of the film, we are not left wondering what happened, because all of the events in the film are pretty clear, but rather why what... |  | review posted: March 14, 2005 |

 | The Freshman (1990)
The Freshman is probably best known for Marlon Brando doing a parody of his legendary Godfather character. While in itself, this performance is pretty funny, the film in which it occurs is fairly forgettable, and ultimately a letdown.... | | review posted: March 6, 2005 |
|  | Sideways (2004)
Put simply, Sideways is one of the best, most entertaining dramedies I have ever seen. It manages to pull off the difficult task of making its characters both absurd and sympathetic at the same time. And not only that, but I feel like I learned some things about the intricacies of wine to... | | review posted: March 5, 2005 |
