MOVIE SMACKDOWN! | Bryce Zabel | WG (Free subscription) | 12/08/2008
Brothers Up in ArmsThe Smackdown. Since Cain and Abel, brothers have been letting things get out of hand. The conflict is biblical and filmmakers just can't stay away from the chance to tie bad brothers and greed into a messy bow for us. There's always room for the new. After all, it's been three decades since Michael and Fredo Corleone put the same issues out there in a pair of "Godfather" films three...

A smart aleck-y kidnapping caper that whooshes around to a thumping electronic beat, Nobel Son offers quotes from Ogden Nash and Pat Benatar, deploys a highfalutin synonym for cannibalism (anthropophagy), offers a movie-long commercial for the Mini Cooper, and features a hot candlelit sex scene on an apartment roof.

ALAN Rickman has fun playing a lecherous old bastard of a professor in "Nobel Son," a pulpy would-be comic thriller, but the movie doesn't deserve him. Rickman's arrogant chemist wins the Nobel prize, and while he's in Stockholm to accept it, a...

“Nobel Son” is an aggressively noisy exercise in style over substance about nasty people doing nasty things to one another in (sigh) Southern California.

"Nobel Son" stars the great Alan Rickman, over-the-top and deliciously insufferable as a college chemistry professor who treats the graduate students he sleeps with and the Nobel Prize he's just won as nothing less than his due as a "superior intellect."

Plot is a funny thing. Not enough, and audiences will nod off. Too much, however, and you run the risk of confusing the viewer. For the most part, overly complicated films are viewed as arrogant by the majority of the mainstream. They tend to play like convoluted explanations for ideas that are basic, or simply clichéd. After showing us how Napa Valley won the war of the grape in this summer's , Randall...

'Nobel Son' {3halfstars} How weird is a story that mixes a Nobel Prize-winning academic, kidnapping and the hint of cannibalism? Very. And if the pieces don't fit neatly together, it's still a lot of fun watching Alan Rickman offends everyone in sight as the arrogant professor. Shawn Hatosy portrays a disturbed kidnapper. Say this: It's different. (R - 102 minutes) P, S, V.
