Summer movie season officially kicks off today with the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. It's an inauspicious beginning, to be sure, though in the first major surprise of the year, this superhero prequel is no more intolerable than Jim Jarmusch's latest.
Out Now:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Slant magazine)
The Limits of Control (The Screengrab)
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (Slant magazine)
Battle for Terra (Slant magazine)
Eldorado (The Screengrab)
This was also my first official year covering Tribeca, and though I only saw a handful of the fest's films, two of them were borderline-great.
Tribeca:
Moon (Slant magazine)
The House of the Devil (Slant magazine)
The Girlfriend Experience (Slant magazine)
Black Dynamite (Slant magazine)
Cropsey (Slant magazine)
Vegas: Based on a True Story (Slant magazine)
Soul Power (Slant magazine)
The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia (Slant magazine)
Love the Beast (Slant magazine)
