Clooney and Spacey, still staring
Movies I reviewed for The Herald this week (reviews of The Box and 35 Shots of Rum tomorrow):
A Christmas Carol. “The most prominent special effect is still Jim Carrey.”
The Men Who Stare at Goats. “A groovy approach to waging war.”
An Education. “The blend of a female perspective with Hornby’s boy-centric sensibility is just exactly right.”
The Fourth Kind. “A clever marketing campaign in search of a movie.”
The Horse Boy. “The line between intimacy and ‘too much information.’”
Skin. “The most engaging aspect of the movie is Sophie Okonedo’s performance.”
Plus: from the Movietone News project at Parallax View, a vintage 1980 review of The Wanderers.
