Armond Dangerous: New York Press Review: "Norbit" [Vol. 2]
http://armonddangerous.blogspot.com/2007/02/new-york-press-review-norbit-vol-2.html
Parsing the Confounding Film Criticism of Mr. Armond White. Thursday, February 22, 2007. New York Press Review: "Norbit" [Vol. 2]. Armond White's recent, seemingly much talked about review of Norbit. Is dumbfounding in a number of respects. First, White, through critical and rhetorical bullshitting, spins Eddie Murphy's unoriginal, unfunny, and downright offensive caricatures as "explosive," "democratizing," and as existing "on a realistic continuum." What "realistic continuum" would that be? It tweaks t...

Armond Dangerous: New York Press Review: "Zodiac"
http://armonddangerous.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-york-press-review-zodiac.html
Parsing the Confounding Film Criticism of Mr. Armond White. Tuesday, March 6, 2007. New York Press Review: "Zodiac". It's probably fair to say that once you've landed on Armond White's shitlist, it's going to take a solid effort on your part to be removed. This has happened in the past - Oliver Stone and Todd Solondz come to mind - but on too many occasions Armond just can't get over the past indiscretions of certain auteurs. David Fincher's Zodiac. Knowing that violence not only sells, it thrills. Is in...

Armond Dangerous: New York Press Review: "The Good Shepherd"
http://armonddangerous.blogspot.com/2007/02/new-york-press-review-good-shepherd.html
Parsing the Confounding Film Criticism of Mr. Armond White. Thursday, February 1, 2007. New York Press Review: "The Good Shepherd". We know, we know. We'll talk about it later. We finally got to see The Good Shepherd. A very good film - a little too proper for our own personal tastes but still an engrossing account of the CIA and one man's descent into emotional callousness for its cause. Going back to Armond White's review of the film. Sigh And you wondered why we were away for so long? Congratulations ...

Armond Dangerous: New York Press Review: "Norbit" [Vol. 1]/"The Resistance": "Who's Coming Out of Africa? The Man Who Lost His Roots!"
http://armonddangerous.blogspot.com/2007/02/new-york-press-review-norbit-vol-1the.html
Parsing the Confounding Film Criticism of Mr. Armond White. Monday, February 19, 2007. New York Press Review: "Norbit" [Vol. 1]/"The Resistance": "Who's Coming Out of Africa? The Man Who Lost His Roots! Ladies and gentlemen, due to overwhelming popular demand and dependable antagonism: Norbit. First, some "compare and contrast." Almost two decades ago (July 6, 1988, to be exact) Armond White wrote the following about Eddie Murphy's Coming to America. In The City Sun. The Man Who Lost His Roots! It’...

Armond Dangerous: New York Press Review: "The Wayward Cloud"
http://armonddangerous.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-york-press-review-wayward-cloud.html
Parsing the Confounding Film Criticism of Mr. Armond White. Tuesday, March 13, 2007. New York Press Review: "The Wayward Cloud". From the very beginning of his confused review. Armond White reveals he has no idea how to process the bizarre, provocative experience of Tsai Ming-liang's The Wayward Cloud. First off, he calls it a "porno musical," a misleading term since the film is a musical about. When Tsai follows this dysfunctional union with musical numbers, it demonstrates a changed perspective on huma...

Armond Dangerous: New York Press Review: "Amazing Grace"
http://armonddangerous.blogspot.com/2007/03/new-york-press-review-amazing-grace.html
Parsing the Confounding Film Criticism of Mr. Armond White. Friday, March 2, 2007. New York Press Review: "Amazing Grace". Christianity Trumps History": this should be the headline for Armond White's naive review of "Amazing Grace.". We're always suspicious. And lo and behold, the story of William Wilberforce and his convictions, it seems, isn't as rosy as the film suggests. Has fostered in his critical skills yet another blind spot.
