"This review originally appeared during the Toronto Film Festival. Guy Ritchie’s RockNRolla opens in New York and LA today. Guy Ritchie has been getting a bad rap ever since the his impressive double header of Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch turned into the double whammy of becoming Mr. Madonna in 2000 and directing Swept Away in 2002. Ritchie was quickly heading for the bargain bin after that romantic comedy became a universal joke, topped as a target of derision perhaps only by Gigli. He returned to gangster fare with Revolver in 2005, but even with star and Ritchie alumnus Jason Statham, the film wasn’t well-received. So here we are three years later with yet another gangster-studded film, RocknRolla, this time with posterboy Gerard Butler in a leading role. "

"The legend continues. Sometimes you want to see a movie that has the reputation as being really, really bad to just to see if that reputation is correct. And it is-unfortanley. Gigli was both spat upon by critics, recieving only 6% on the tomato meter, and a box office megabomb, becoming an instant show bussiness legend and all purpose punchline. The movie is so bad it's hard to beleive, becoming only the second movie ever to recieve zero stars from me. I have never seen another film from Martin Brest, who wrote and directed this one as well as making the minor classic Scent of a Woman. Brest is generally considred to be good second class director. I now feel a deep need to see Scent of a Woman to understand how someone who is supposedly talented could make something this bad. Gigli is, without exageration, the worst screenplay ever written. Let's go straight to the plot summery to illistrate my point. Ben Affleck plays Gigli, a hitman who assigned to kidnap Brian (Justin B ... "

"By Tricia Olszewski Danish filmmaker Anders Thomas Jensen, Oscar-recognized for his shorts and the writer of such Dogmatized fare as Mifune and Open Hearts, has turned to genre for his feature directorial debut. A hit in Denmark, Flickering Lights is a buddy-gangster film that's being promoted as a black comedy, though the designation will disorient those who approach the movie expecting a foreign Pulp Fiction. Torkild (Søren Pilmark) is a career criminal going through a midlife crisis. Before his surprise 40th-birthday party, he nearly shoots one of his partners when he hears rustling in his darkened home. Later, he laments the fact that his main present is an AK-47. ("I should get a golf bag," he muses.) Indebted to "the Eskimo" (Peter Andersson) for a job gone wrong, Torkild gathers his crew for an assignment involving a suitcase full of money. He soon decides, however, that he and the boys will run off with it to start a new life. On their way to Barcelona, Torkild, ... "

"I know star power isn’t what it used to be, but doesn’t it seem like we still give Al Pacino more credit than he’s worth? Despite his receiving an Oscar fifteen years ago, the guy hasn’t been a completely dependable actor in more than two decades. And yet a lot of people write about his upcoming movies as if they could maybe, possibly, hopefully be on par with the actor’s ’70s work. I’m not denying that he’s excellent in a few films of even the past ten years (particularly The Insider), but let’s not forget he was also in Gigli, so it isn’t like he’s making the same smart choices he was making as a younger man. And now here’s 88 Minutes, another movie that attempts to give us a thrilling plot in real time, a la 24. But despite such a gimmick working with old films like High Noon and
