The Lovable Loser

2008-05-12 05:02:00 by Piper in LAZY EYE THEATRE
...lovable loser. When you think about it, the lovable loser is a hard role to fill Handsome but with love handles Most likely to have played Dungeons & Dragons or the like earlier in life Socially awkward in situations making him stand-offish Honesty will outweigh coolness in all situations Probably not the most likable guy, but you like him...

2008-09-05 14:34:00 by Erich Kuersten in Bright Lights After Dark
...lovable swine to full-on homicidal lunatic, sneering and cackling like his KISS OF DEATH killer cranked to 11. Never before has craven sniveling been made so damned sexy I'd never seen ROAD HOUSE--not even the Patrick Swayze remake--until last night and I'm fairly blown away. It's rich in atmospheric detail, with the titular house--a bowling...

The Obligatory Pre-Oscar Post + The Bobsters

2008-02-24 05:22:10 by bob in Forward to Yesterday
...lovable real life spy Gust Avrakotos (not surprisingly, the movie somewhat dishonestly plays down the ruthless and plays up the lovable) is yet another jewel of a comic supporting performance in his amazing career. I was disapointed by Charlie Wilsons War for numerous reasons, some frankly political (I think its kind of a white wash), but Id...

REVIEW - "Vantage Point" (2008)

2008-03-15 14:39:00 by GMAN in GMAN's Film Blog
...lovable tourist (Forrest Witaker), and a news coverage director (Sigourney Weaver). As a result, the same events are played over and over, but new facts are revealed each time As infuriating as it got to see the events rewind every ten to twelve minutes, it was easy enough to get involved with the new characters point-of-view. Yes something...

Kung-Fu Panda: Movie Review

2008-06-09 15:00:45 by Walt in Wild Bluff Media : Entertainment Examined
...lovable character. The story was somewhat predictable. From the second you meet Po, you know the general outline the story will follow. In this case that was OK. I enjoyed how it was told. You do have to remember that while this movie is PG it really is targeted at younger audiences with less sophisticated cinematic palettes (kind of like me...

The Brothers Solomon (2007) - Monumentally juvenile and moronic sight gags and jokes - not to mention teeth grating performances by the two leads - ma

2007-09-18 01:07:03 by craiger in Craiger's Cinema Corner
 
...lovable and endearing as a child pedophile Forte and Arnett play the Solomon Brothers, Dean and John, who were never given the opportunity of a normal upbringing. They were raised by a single father (played by Majors, who looks like hes had too many bionic upgrades over the years) in - of all places - the Antarctic. They were home schooled...

Knocked Up, (Judd Apatow, 2007)

2007-10-26 05:42:00 by Noel Vera in Critic After Dark
 
...lovable slacker types, dwarves to his Snow White, the better to show off his relative maturity; for a father he gives Ben the wonderfully clueless Harold Ramis ("Just tell me what to do" "I've been divorced three times, why are you asking me?"), showing us just where Stone gets his maturity (or complete lack of And that by itself isn't so...

Estrangers on a Train

2007-10-20 18:10:00 by Paul Matwychuk in The Moviegoer
...lovable eccentric with an eye for detailed set design; now he was an effete megalomaniac bent on controlling every square inch of the camera frame. It was as if hed become one of his own characters, a prisoner in his own dollhouse. What once seemed distinctive, quirky and eccentric now came off as heartless, emotionally remote, mannered...
