(1 Feb) Into the Sun (2005, mink)66 [ Um, ok. This is one of those DTV flicks Steven Seagal keeps making (and Vern keeps reviewing) but, surprisingly, it’s not all that cheap and generic. For one, it was shot in Tokyo and is sort of an American take on Asian action cinema, with Yakuza shoot-outs and swordfights. It’s no “Kill Bill”, mind, but still… And…
(2 Jun) Catch Me If You Can (2002, Steven Spielberg)[ review ]91 (4 Jun) Hostel: Part II (2007, Eli Roth)54 [ It starts like a crappy straight-to-video sequel, with badly incorporated flashbacks recapping the first movie and that most lame of horror movie tricks, the BOO!-no, wait, it-was-a-nightmare scare. Plus we’re still with the surviving jackass from the original played by Jay Hernandez but, thankfully,…
(2 Jun) Wonder Woman (2017, Patty Jenkins)67 [ Reviewed on Extra Beurre ] (2 Jun) Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003, Douglas Schwartz) [ This reunion TV movie is part soap opera, part T&A, part torture porn (!). Tons of montages, backstory and call-backs that will deeply confuse anyone but die-hard fans of the show. But even as a casual viewer, it’s fun to watch David…

(5 Jan) Vendus (2004, Éric Tessier)34 [ Less than 4 months after the release of his scarily effective “Sur le seuil”, Éric Tessier follows it up with an underwhelming crime comedy. Double-crosses, violence played for laughs and wacky twists abound in this sub-Coen movie about a prostitute trying to blackmail the loser husband of a rich real estate agent. Tessier’s direction is dynamic and Véronique…
