Mesrine: Killer Instinct

If there's one thing to be disliked about Mesrine: Killer Instinct, it's the inauspicious ending. Part One of a two-part saga (with the conclusion in Mesrine: Public Enemy Number One), the movie feels incomplete, which is unsurprising considering ...

Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1

Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 concludes the story begun in Mesrine: Killer Instinct. Although the two pieces can be seen as halves of a whole, it's not hard to understand why the project was bisected. Shootouts, prison escapes, and random acts of v...

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

One thing is certain about Clint Eastwood: he doesn't play it safe. Two years ago, he surprised just about everyone (and gave his fans a collective apoplexy) by directing and starring in an ultra-sensitive tearjerker called The Bridges of Madison...

Mona Lisa

Serene. Beautiful. Untouchable. All of those words can be used to describe the subject of Leonardo Da Vinci's best-known painting, "The Mona Lisa." And, while almost everyone knows what she looks like, no one knows her story. Her life is a bla...

Neon Demon, The

The Neon Demon isn’t only the title of this film, it’s a description of what it represents. Beneath the pulsating music and strobe-lit fluorescent visuals, this is as pernicious and invidious a motion picture as one is likely to discover ...

Prisoners

Whodunits are rarely a good playground for Hollywood films. The average mystery, whether a stripped-down Agatha Christie-esque tale or a more complex endeavor, is too demanding for the structural constraints of a motion picture. As a result, when o...
