Harry Potter review (in Film)
- Audiences are left with an overrated film that leaves points of the plot hanging and the magic within a little rusty
|
The Last Mimzy DVD review (in Film)
- A timely cautionary tale, even if its heartwarming message gets a little garbled along the way.
|
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (in Film)
- A revealing documentary about a bloody turf war inside a notorious Haitian slum. What makes this movie compelling is that the leaders of the competing posses are also blood brothers
|
After the Wedding DVD review (in Film)
- A paradoxical, if ultimately plausible portrait of a fractured family whose emotions can not be contained when the skeletons belatedly come bursting out of the closet.
|
License to Wed (in Film)
- Looks like Robin Williams has replaced Cuba Gooding, Jr. as the kiss of death on the set of any comedy.
|
Live Free or Die Hard (in Film)
- A satisfying throwback which reminds us how a big-budget is supposed to be made. If you only see one film this summer, you need to get out more.
|
Sicko (in Film)
- An ironically entertaining and eye-opening film about the garbage our government feeds us and the real truths of a system that will help, not hinder, our people and nation.
|
Black Snake Moan DVD (in Film)
- Although there’s no Madea Like Hustle & Flow, Craig Brewer returned to Memphis to craft an equally-empathetic portrait of a nymphomaniac.
|
Evan Almighty (in Film)
- Evan Almighty is a thoroughly clean, enjoyable family film. It it is sufficiently devoid enough of profanity, spicy innuendo, and gore that you can feel completely at ease with taking children to enjoy it.
|
You Kill Me (in Film)
- An unsatisfying compromise flick on the fence which might have worked had it either been played straight or purely for laughs.
|
DOA: Dead or Alive (in Film)
- Sit back and delight in the cinematic equivalent of a fashion runway which seizes on the flimsiest of excuses to
shoot sweaty, two-fisted beauties flying around in lingerie, swimsuits and skin-tight attire from every conceivable angle.
|
Daddy's Little Girls(DVD) (in Film)
- Although there’s no Madea character in the mix this time out, the film still features plenty of Perry’s pictures’ trademarks.
|
AND THEN CAME LOVE (in Film)
- A noble attempt to make an interesting but contrived plot work, but the chemistry between the two leads isn’t there to make this film worth seeing.
|
FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER (in Film)
- While Story may have heard what the fans wanted to see, he apparently didn’t listened carefully as to how to carve out the story.
|
Hostel II (in Film)
- While the premise is the still the same, only with females now instead of guys, Roth has thrown a curve ball in this rethread formula, which makes it above average.
|
Ocean's Thirteen (in Film)
- A downright comfortable diversion in male-bonding that doesn’t ask anything of you except to sit back, relax and eat some popcorn.
|
Pierrepoint - The Last Hangman (in Film)
- Film presents an empathetic portrait of this complicated figure, chronicling the mounting toll which his work in the gallows gradually took on his psyche and private life.
|
Daywatch (in Film)
- Any horror and action fan tired of the norm will embrace Day Watch.The film has the popcorn spectacle we (American audiences) expect from epic battles between good and evil
|
Knocked Up (in Film)
- This messy, mythical tale is essentially a high-octane action flick masquerading as a cerebral costume drama
|
Letters from Iwo Jimo DVD (in Film)
- Letters from Iwo Jima exudes an undeniable emotional honesty likely to touch the heart of even the most embittered veteran of the Pacific theater.
