The Wolfpack

The Face of an Angel






Shall I be the first one to say it? Okay, I will, but when I do, remember this: I love documentary film.

The Trip to Italy

Director Michael Winterbottom made my top-ten list in 2011 with "The Trip," and with the hilarious and completely delightful "The Trip to Italy," he's sure to do so again.

The Look of Love, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!

The Look of Love

You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet!

Props to director Michael Winterbottom and his production design for evocatively recreating the London of the mod 1960's for "The Look of Love," the new biopic about the English porn king Paul Raymond. Unfortunately, his movie never swings.

Last year, the protean director Michael Winterbottom made my top 20 with the unexpectedly hilarious and vastly underseen "The Trip," a mash-up of a buddy road comedy with the verbal one-upmanship of stars Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan, whose dueling impersonations of Michael Caine were alone worth the price of a ticket.
