Review: Plant life is scarce in Seuss' green fable

Dr. Seuss died in 1991, saving him from the gaudy, big-screen abominations of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (2000) and "Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat" (2003). These weren't just bad movies; they were hyperkinetic nuisances, antithetical to the wise economy of the good Doctor. Now, after a passable ...

Review: Supporting cast carries 'Bad Teacher'

An employee of the Chicago Public Schools system, the ha-cha seventh grade educator Elizabeth portrayed by Cameron Diaz in "Bad Teacher" blows most of her classroom time showing her students (whose names she never learns) movies such as "Lean on Me," "Stand and Deliver" and "Dangerous Minds" while she nurses ...

Review: 'Tree of lIfe' takes on mankind's biggest quandaries

"The Tree of Life" introduces a character pondering the meaning of existence as he searches for the answers to the universe's most perplexing questions. Undeniably impressive, it's a film that will have viewers posing questions as well, just not the ones its director may have intended. For what Terrence Malick's ...

Review: 'The First Grader' gets good marks

Early on in "The First Grader," an ancient man, as hard and lean as his walking stick, strides miles across the coarse Kenyan bush. When he gets to his destination — a rural primary school — the gate is already locked leaving him to stand alone on one side, with ...

Skateland explores the rupture of charismatic Richie Wheeler, brother and sister Brent and Michelle Burkham, and wise-cracking lady-killer Kenny Crawford's seemingly complacent existence as they struggle with the collapse of their tumultuous home lives, the alcohol induced idling of wreckless-adolescence, and the wane of their hometown hangout, the local roller rink. A story syncopated with moments of violent turbulence, of heartbreak and of new beginnings, Skateland immerses the audience in the brutal, but beautiful vastness of East Texas blue skies and the emotional claustrophobia of the Bible belt. Enveloped by the brooding melodies and incendiary rock riffs of the early 80’s, Skateland is a place where aging values wrestle with contemporary pop culture to create a paradoxical balance between old and new.

'80s teen slice of life likable, if a little dazed

It might be dedicated to the memory of John Hughes, but Anthony Burns' debut film "Skateland" owes a good deal to those more recent slices of teendom "Dazed and Confused" and "Adventureland" — movies that focus more on mood and texture and are less hungry than Hughes' were for laughs ...

Review: Ferrell's stretching exercise astringently entertaining

The alcoholic son of an alcoholic, sales manager Nick Porter was born in a Raymond Carver short story called "Why Don't You Dance?" published in the 1981 Carver collection "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." The story, which takes place at a yard sale among one man's ...
