Ghost Town
-
Highlighted by the soulful sounds of Jill Scott, the music helps steer attention
to the film that might otherwise be dismissed in its first half.

Lakeview Terrace
-
A house of cards only stands still if carefully placed, but with ‘Lakeview Terrace’, too many false and quick moves doomed it.
|
The Duchess
-
Fine acting, and clever visual and sentimental recreation of life in 18th century England, is bound to make a fan of even those whose typical fare does not include period films.
|
Burn After Reading
-
Burn after Reading is a refreshingly-intelligent diversion designed with the more cerebral cineaste in mind.
|
Diary of a Tired Black Man
-
Excellent Indie-Flick from Tim Alexander Finally Finds Distribution with Magnolia Pictures
|
88 Minutes DVD Review
-
An excessively violent, sloppily-edited, unintentionally funny, overly sentimental affair which has nothing much going for it beyond a snazzy score and some stylized special effects.
|
THE FAMLY THAT PREYS
(SAME MOVIE DIFFERENT
REVIEW)
-
The Family That Preys tells a story of friendship, dreams, and betrayal that has universal appeal transcending all class and racial divides.

|
Mister Foe
-
A brooding Jamie Bell in his most memorable outing since Billy Elliot.
|
Trouble The Water
-
If there was ever a film that needs to be seen, it's the documentary film 'Trouble the Water'. Catch Scott and Kimberly Rivers Roberts were able to catch on video many
citizens in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
|
The Long Shots
-
Ice Cube and the cast give a by-the-books clichéd story that most folks can sit back and enjoy.
|
Tropic Thunder
-
Tropic Thunder is an intelligent and frequently funny film with some profound points to make about the shallowness of the movie industry.
|
VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA
-
IVicky Cristina Barcelona is vintage Woody Allen not to be missed
|
STREET KINGS (DVD REVIEW)
-
When you have trouble reading a hero’s motivations at every turn, the result is a comical headscratcher like this unmitigated mess.
|
A Girl Cut in Two (La Fillee Coupee en Deux)
-
An ill-fated love triangle with an alarming twist leading to a sobering message for shameless gold-diggers and suave Casanovas alike.
|
One Bad Cat
-
A compelling documentary narrated by stentorian-throated Delroy Lindo.
|
Smart People
-
A dysfunctional-family drama which might as well have been titled Smart Aleck.
|
I'm Through With White Girls
-
Alternately entertaining and enlightening, this hilariously funny flick is proof positive that it’s possible to shoot a sophisticated romantic romp on a shoe-string budget.
|
Pineapple Express
-
With lots of action, comedy, and drugs, ‘Pineapple Express’ has it all and you don’t have to be stoned to enjoy it.
|
Swing Vote
-
Swing Vote is ultimately the bitterly disappointing with nothing much to offer other than some sappy sermonizing about patriotically exercising right to vote.
|
Sixty Six
-
This predictable costume drama might have a certain nostalgic appeal for soccer fans and folks familiar with Judaic culture and religious traditions.
|
All About Us (DVD REVIEW)
-
A semi-autobiographical love story chronicling the similar options once weighed in real life by the husband/wife team of producer Michael Swanson and scriptwriter/director Christine Swanson.
|
America The Beautiful
-
Scathing Documentary Explores America’s Unhealthy Obsession with Beauty
|
Step Brothers
-
Too bad this re-teaming of Ferrell and Reilly failed to generate any magic, as did their prior outing in Talladega Nights.
