Body: The novel on which Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist is based was written by David Levithan, author of "Boy Meets Boy," and like that work, the action and characters exist in an alternate reality. It's still New York, but the amount of freedom enjoyed by 17 and 18-year-olds in addition to the overacceptance of homosexuality doesn't mesh with real life. That overall feel works for and against the film, allowing it to teeter into fantasy that's both wonderful and difficult to accept. The Mark Mothersbaugh score is quality, but the rest of the unending music fails to live up to the titular hype (if that's even what it was going for). Michael Cera and Kat Dennings make for an appealing pair, and their friends are even more interesting as they embark on a wild night (and early morning) in search of an elusive concert. A bit too indy to hit the quirky heights its cast is capable of, but entertaining nonetheless.

Body: It's been over a year since I saw Gonzo at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival, so I guess the press embargo has been lifted.... A good, cumulative retrospective of Thompson's life, but Hunter fans have seen most of this elsewhere and, though fun (it's Hunter; it's can't not be fun), it has a lot of problems. The film has plenty going for it, including significant celebrity participation (i.e. Johnny Depp reading passages from Hunter's work), but director Alex Gibney really stumbles in certain places, notably by visually reenacting multiple passages. The only one that works is the "Taco Stand" scene from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." The dialogue here is strong enough to stand on its own, and Gibney honors it by shooting Duke and Dr. Gonzo from below the waist. However, in a passage describing a werewolf running through the streets, Gibney turns to a literal interpretation, and the scene's hokiness goes beyond ridiculous. It's nice to see footage from Hunter's funeral and in-depth coverage of the McGovern campaign, but Gibney loses significant credibility by failing to mention or depict the years of physical pain that led to Hunter's suicide. In an interview included in Entertainment Weekly, the director says, "'I think it's bullshit, the idea that Hunter's killing himself is a heroic act — it's the act of a narcissist. I never met [Thompson], so I went in fresh and cold, and I wasn't on anybody's side.'' Try as Gibney may, Hunter is automatically a polarizing character and any effort to depict his life is going to include honest footage of Hunter's unforgivingly consistent personality. Such footage will give viewers with all ranges of interest in the good doctor an honest portrayal of him, regardless of the personal bias of a rogue director. To omit the reason behind Hunter's suicide is doing the man and those who followed his career a disservice. As such, Gibney's editorializing handicaps a potentially great work.

Body: It's hard not to like a Ridley Scott film, especially when it's written by the same guy who wrote The Departed and stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. Unfortunately, things never really gel between these big names and the film feels half-baked as a result. With so much potential, including an appealing (on paper) story, Body of Lies can only be called a disappointment, despite the various thrills it manages to deliver. Scott provides plenty of his textbook explosions and excitement, but his stars feel tired and underdeveloped. A good deal of blame falls on the script, which never quite feels smooth, but DiCaprio and Crowe additionally never find their groove. Body of Lies is interesting enough to keep watching, but you know that the film's contributors are capable of better work. The promise of them returning to form remains strong, even if this go-round isn't their best.

Body: As a baseball fan since I was 7 (that's 18 years, if you'd like to know), I'm embarrassed that I just got around to this one. But maybe I wasn't ready for it until now. The more age-appropriate baseball films of my era include Angels in the Outfield, Rookie of the Year, and The Sandlot. All of these feature happy endings where the bad guys and good guys get what they deserve. None of them ask tough questions or are true stories. Eight Men Out does. It's the big boy baseball film and, besides Ken Burns' Baseball, is the best film about the sport. John Sayles is flawless here as a writer, director, and even an actor. John Cusack has never been better and he's surrounded by an impressive group of supporting actors, including Charlie Sheen, D.B. Sweeney, and David Strathairn. Together, they bring the 1919 White Sox to vivid realization and do a remarkable job of exploring the personal and athletic sides of the sport's most notorious scandal. As with the best Ron Howard films, even knowing the outcome can't stop the action from being suspenseful and captivating. Eight Men Out can't lose, even if it's players can.

Body: Joe Carnahan's Narc is enough of a directorial statement to get me to watch any of his films. That's not to say I wasn't hesitant to see Smokin' Aces after I couldn't find a decent review upon its release, but it's still enjoyable. Don't expect the depth and auteur stamp that was all over Narc and this film will provide enough thrills, laughs, and twists to be a worthwhile experience.

Jigsaw is an interesting villain and it would be neat to see what other kinds of mental games he will concoct, but the sadistic torture required to get to the "stunning conclusion" isn't worth it to me, especially 4 more times. I'd much rather catch up on any of my "must-see" lists or, if it's horror I need to stick with, then I choose John Carpenter.

Body: Excellent choices and a tough selection! I really like Ghost World and A History of Violence is probably the best film of the bunch, but Sin City is a true graphic novel experience. Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller literally bring the drawings to life, meticulously recreating the images in live-action complete with ink-drenched backdrops. The film is the closest thing to reading a graphic novel that has ever been made. If you were to put American Splendor up here, I think it would get a lot of love. The comics are great and the film is an entertaining blend of drawings and live-action. Really, I like graphic novels and their film adaptations so much that I could have voted for any of these except 300. But I have hopes that Watchmen will outdo all before it other than Sin City.

Body: Great points from everyone about Shakespearean. I agree, and it got my vote. There is such complexity in Shakespeare's works that I would likewise be drawn to a work that employed such depth and thought. #2 is Orwellian, because dystopia is cool (and satire, and commentary).

Body: Kubrick has such an interesting range of work (from Dr. Strangelove to Clockwork Orange to Spartacus) that I'd be most intrigued by a film that dares to encompass any or all of the qualities that make a work Kubrickian.

Body: Not a bad line-up, especially during this traditional dumping ground season. I'm most excited for Coraline, especially coming after Gaiman's Newberry win for Graveyard Book and Selick's consistently quality stop-motion animation. Coraline is also the book that scared the tuna salad out of my wife and, 7 months later, she still won't go into the basement at night, especially when I offer to go with her. Her spooked-out state has me even more intrigued about the film! Lucky # Slevin was pretty cool, so we'll see about the director's follow-up. Here's hoping the "Spring" films stay strong and veer away from the likes of Vantage Point, Smart People, and Stop-Loss.

Body: Remember when Yahoo! went public and their stock price eclipsed $200 per share? The fast-money frenzy swept up investors and computer nerds alike, transforming the internet into a new-age gold rush where fame and fortune was to be found for hard workers. However, for many talented go-getters, the party did not last long. In August, director Austin Chick rewinds the clocks to late summer 2001 when Ben Affleck entered rehab, Aaliyah died, and the young upstart internet companies who were millionare-hot in January cooled off in a big way. Tom Sterling (Josh Hartnett, in his best grown-up performances) is a cocky young dotcom entrepreneur and CEO of LandShark. His brother and co-founder Joshua (Adam Scott) is the programming genius behind the company, but Tom is LandShark's mouth and a very knowledgable one at that. Chick sticks with Tom in nearly every scene and fully captures his swagger and way with words, none better than in the first example of Tom at work. With stock prices beginning to dip, Tom successfully convinces a client to hire LandShark without seeing a proposal, his track record and bravado confidence enough proof that LandShark is the right choice. The client is initially insulted by Tom's lack of preparation, yet amidst Joshua's apologies, the client is drawn to Tom's attitude. A similar scene occurs at an information conference where Tom, the keynote speaker, fails to prepare a speech, yet out of nowhere pulls a rousing soliloquy on the future of the internet. His fellow young technophiles are thrilled by the passion of his words and his doubting co-workers, who minutes before were sure of on-stage disaster, congratulate him on his unscripted brilliance. Tom is an interesting man, one whose company is desirable due to his electric personality, yet who is equally despicable for his abundant ignorance. This love/hate relationship with Tom lasts throughout the film. He is a character with appealing energy and a thirst for success, but he's also so infatuated with the boom rise LandShark had that he's unwilling to change his business tactics once the market shifts. As with many wunderkinds who peak early, Tom's confidence, which when mixed with millions of dollars transforms into ego, becomes his downfall. At work, he has surrounded himself with a business-saavy COO (Robin Tunney) and CFO (Andre Royo), but while they consistently look out for LandShark's future, Tom views their lifesaving advice as cowardly. He's unable to accept that he is no longer on top and his risky plan to outlast current threats to his company are downright scary. His home life is just as self-destructive. His parents (Rip Torn and Caroline Lagerfelt) are skeptical of the longevity of their sons' success and that doubt leads to angry confrontations on Tom's part. Joshua increasingly cannot handle his brother's poor business skills, especially when he has a wife a new baby to support. And when an old flame (Naomi Harris) reenters his life, sparks fly but Tom's consistent inability to change likewise results in disaster on the personal front. Chick presents the tragedy of Tom amidst a somewhat convincing 2001. The styles, attitude, Seattle graininess, and soundtrack (including a well-placed Radiohead number) are there, but the time-appropriate news footage feels superfluous and gimmicky. August is fine without such tricks. It's a gangster/drug lord film without the violence and narcotics, a portrait of ambition gone awry in a time when opportunity felt widespread. Tom represents the entrepreneur in everyone, another cautionary tale of demise by greed. But because he struggles during a recent era, in the now-distant memory of immediate pre-9/11 society to which the U.S. strives to return, the tragedy is far more complex and appealing than August's Scarface cousins.

Body: Last week, I told you about the best film of 2008. Today, I'll tell you about the worst.This particular stinker has the distiction of being on several critics' year-end Best Of lists (including both Adam and Matty from my beloved Filmspotting) and of earning a score of zero on the Metacritic score from the honorable A.O. Scott of the New York Times, thereby placing it in the ranks of the worst of all time. The film is cloaked as a high-brow commentary, meant to inspire dialogue strumming up the brilliance of its writer/director. It is also a shot-by-shot remake of the German original from 10 years ago, translated to English so that the original target audience can experience the message without subtitles. And it is a huge failure. The film is Funny Games.A film isn’t brilliant because it tells viewers that it’s brilliant. Audiences should not allow a filmmaker to convince them that a film is masterful, that it’s meant to challenge them and the conventions of Hollywood by playing with their emotions and viewpoints on violence. Writer/director Michael Haneke is a talented filmmaker, but it's excruciating to see worthy issues of cinema and audience preconceptions invalidated by patronizing.A startling creepiness factor is noticeably present in the film's opening half hour or so, in which two young men (Michael Pitt and Brady Corbet), dressed in white complete with white gloves, terrorize a wealthy family (Naomi Watts, Tim Roth, and Devon Gearhart) at their lakeside vacation home. But when the violence begins, the audience is in for a forced lesson so telling in style that it robs itself of any legitimacy.Haneke plays with suspense-film standards that audiences have come to accept. Instead of graphic scenes of violence, all such scenes take place off camera and are replaced with long, close-up reactionary shots of the survivors; Pitt's character talks directly to the audience multiple times, ironically checking in on their natural responses; A scene runs beyond its tolerable length, thereby drawing attention to itself; When the payoff of good defeating evil occurs, a scene so satisfying that the audience is nearly salivating for it, Haneke provides that gratification and then immediately erases it. Haneke has been banking on the audience's thirst for justice from the first scene of discomfort, and though the message is effective, it is immediately lost in the filmmaker's out-of-control ego.All of Haneke's devices are noteworthy in theory, but his execution is beyond heavyhanded. Contrastingly, Stanley Kubrick (with the help of Anthony Burgess' novel) achieves true brilliance with his handling of ultra-violence in A Clockwork Orange. In that film, the institutional dismantling of protagonist Alex's sadistic past through prolonged exposure to drugs and that very same ultra-violence pulls the audience along through the treatment. These scenes are intense and difficult, but the film up to that point has meticulously prepared the audience for such a redemption by fire. Kubrick is inviting the audience, after enduring some of the most brutal scenes they've ever seen, to decide whether the transformation is effective. Based on the resulting heartbreak of the rehabilitated Alex, the film stands a giant success without being preachy. In Funny Games, the audience is given no such freedom, leaving to question whether Haneke respects his viewers' intelligence at all.Additionally, instead of an intelligent meditation on film audiences' perception of violence and thrillers, the brutal, pointless cruelty evoked by the torturers is the primary message to shine through. Haneke is working with the above brand of terror that rivals that of The Dark Knight, yet he fails to provide any accompanying thought or escapism. This is full-throttle malice with no parachute, and though such safe refuge is not required in film (see The Bicycle Thief or most classic European cinema), Haneke's approach comes off as pointlessly damaging. Combined with the filmmaker's overstated contrivances, the film overall provides nothing other than frustration. There is an authentic feeling of wasted time and empty manipulation felt at the conclusion of Funny Games, and that gut reaction is what the film deserves. The abundant cruelty, however depicted, is the film's legacy along with the ever-present strings of a puppetteer. The tools for brilliance are there, but Haneke is just too damn smart to make the film work.
