Movie Review: Traitor
August 27, 2008
“Traitor” asks a question that can be answered only by that cruel mistress, the marketplace: How much moral ambiguity and narrative intricacy will an audience handle in the realm of a terrorism-themed contemporary thriller? Enough, I hope, to respond to “Traitor.” It tells a good, snakelike story, slithering in some unpredictable directions.
All along the way, Don Cheadle, who plays the mysterious operative creating and running an espionage maze of his own design, reaffirms his excellence. He is an honest, responsive actor, and as a rogue ex-U.S. Special Operations officer and highly conflicted Muslim, Cheadle recalls a variety of old-school stars — think Spencer Tracy or Sidney Poitier — in the way he keeps it simple and puts the story needs ahead of his own.

Movie Review: The House Bunny
August 25, 2008
It’s a little stroke of genius: Make a female-empowerment movie and cast it with Playboy Bunnies. Elevated via a strong script by “Legally Blonde” scribes Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah Lutz, “The House Bunny” is a blissfully broad comedy that should catapult Anna Faris into a singular kind of stardom — she’s funny, she’s sexy, and her movie distinguishes itself grandly from a mostly gore-and-groin-fixated summer comedy season. Titles are sometimes dumped in mid- to late August, but good buzz could help this Fred Wolf-directed laffer break out beyond its young-femme target audience. Read more
Movie Review: Death Race
August 25, 2008
As hard as metal and just as dumb, Paul W.S. Anderson’s “Death Race” couldn’t be further from producer Roger Corman and director Paul Bartel’s goofy, bloody 1975 original, “Death Race 2000.” Basically a souped-up gladiatorial battle on a racetrack inside what’s supposedly future America’s toughest high-security prison, the pic maintains “2000’s” body count and a few character names, and dumps the rest — including the humor.
