Latest Additions:
 
HE’S JUST THAT NOT INTO YOU(2nd Review)

Don’t be duped by the promising-sounding scenarios, the material here never digs any deeper than the average episode of a cheesy TV sitcom from the Sixties or Seventies.

PUSH

With its kinetic pace and convoluted storyline, the film is too infuriating to hold your interest.

HE’S JUST THAT NOT INTO YOU

It makes you want to scream and then commend, reprimand and then smile


Medicine For Melancholy

A candid commentary on the state of the battle-of-the-sexes in a post-racial age of strangers with benefits.


The Reader

Winslet Shines in Empathetic Portrait of Nazi Pedophile


Taken

It's the same man-saves-the-day stuff we've seen in the past, so check your brain at the door and sit back for pure fun.


UNDERWORLD: RISE OF THE LYCANS

Michael Sheen certainly makes the most out of his role as Lucian, and fans of the monster-film genre will not be disappointed


The Wrestler

Mickey Rourke Resuscitates Career as Comeback Kid in Search of Redemption


Defiance

Fact-Based Holocaust Film Chronicles Case of Jewish Resistance in Poland


Notorious

Tillman has put together an exciting tale of one of the greatest rappers, and many will be pleased when they leave the theater. Your only regret will be that Big’s life should have been longer.


Not Easily Broken

While each of the actors give compelling performances, the film is saddled with convoluted and contrived plots that makes one question what its initial intentions were.


Gran Torino

This cross of 8-Mile and Death Wish looks terribly dated, like the desperate last gasp of pre-Obama Era intolerance.


Last Chance Harvey

Hoffman and Thompson team to weave movie magic via a vintage romantic roundelay.


Doubt

Streep and Hoffman Square-Off in Screen Adaptation of Modern Parable


Slumdog Millionaire

Dev Patel Delivers as Lovesick Game Show Contestant
