Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen(DVD REVIEW)
-
Transformers 2 ups the ante in terms of all the bombastic bells and whistles which have become the Bay trademark.
|
Law Abiding Citizen
-
The film is filled with plenty of action but also laced with absurdities that make folks who work in law enforcement cry for justice.
|
Black Dynamite
-
Essentially, the movie is a nostalgic throwback celebrating all of the trademarks of the blaxploit genre.
|
Couples Retreat
-
A pleasant romantic romp likely to delight, provided you’re willing to put your brain on pause for a couple of hours.
|
American Violet(DVD REVIEW)
-
A movie which earns high marks simply for being the first feature film with the guts to take the subject of racial profiling dead seriously.
|
More Than A Game
-
'More Than a Game' is a riveting, emotional and inspirational documentary that captures the ups and downs of five young men who bonded as friends and teammates.
|
Whip It
-
Pleasant, if formulaic, Whip It is mostly a mindless diversion designed to hold your interest via a profusion of such teensploit staples
|
Zombieland
-
A yuck-filled screamfest which generates far more mirth than tension, gobs of gore served up onscreen notwithstanding.
|
Surrogates
-
“Rude Awakening Reception” might have made a better title for this tragicomic reunion where nobody’s really well-equipped to handle the truth.
|
Truth Hall
-
Yetta nudder cautionary tale issuing dire warnings about the pitfalls of technology run amuck.
|
Away We Go(DVD REVIEW)
-
Although the resolution feels far too rushed to be convincing, the wry ride there is nonetheless delightful enough to make the trip worthwhile.
|
The Other Man
-
Despite the prowess of the all star cast, the characters in the film were insufficiently developed.
|
The Informant
-
Matt Damon seems an ill-match for his role as the mentally-unstable title character
|
Jennifer's Body
-
Screenwriter and Oscar winner Diablo Cody succumbs here to the proverbial sophomore jinx and film doesn't have much of an arc to Jennifer’s character.
|
X-Men Origins: Wolverine (DVD REVIEW)
-
Think Fantastic Four as opposed to The Dark Knight and you have a good idea of what to expect of this action-oriented, twist-driven morality play
|
The Burning Plain
-
A convoluted, cinematic jigsaw puzzle of Shakespearean proportions.
|
Next Day Air (DVD REVIEW)
-
A screwball splatter flick which might best thought of as a campy cross of Cotton Comes to Harlem and No Country for Old Men.
|
Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself
-
Perry predictably delivers a "lesson" toward the end of the film about the power of love over violence. After watching the movie, you'll either leave inspired or ready to turn in your church membership.
|
Extract
-
No reason to waste your hard-earned bucks on this derivative dud, when you can rent the originals, "Office Space" and "Idiocracy," and actually laugh your butt off.
|
Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (DVD Review)
-
A high-energy adventure serving up just enough fun to ensure that the Bring It On franchise survives for installment #6.
|
We Live In Public
-
The internet indicted as a mind control tool subtly turning humanity into exhibitionistic automatons.
|
Gospel Hill
-
A well-meaning, modern morality play which telegraphs its punches, like a Sunday school parable about the difference between good versus evil.
|
STATE OF PLAY (DVD REVIEW)
-
This is a flick with a transparent, political agenda posing as an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Sometimes, getting there is all the fun.
|
Taking Woodstock
-
A wistful autobiography recounting the pivotal role Elliot Teichberg played in the weeks leading up to the historic weekend
|
MOTHERLAND
-
‘Motherland’ is an honest and intimate look at emotional pain. It’s a story that’s uplifting, heartfelt and poignant.
|
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS
-
Quentin Tarantino's best yet, a seamless, tour de force not to be missed.
|
Confessionsofa Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha (DVD REVIEW)
-
Melvin Van Peebles Stars in Semi-Autobiographical Vanity Pic
|
DISTRICT 9
-
'District 9' is a uniquely moving, heartfelt and provocative drama that stays with you after you've left the theater.
|
STEPPIN': The Movie(DVD Review)
-
Star-Studded Cast Can’t Save Straight-to-DVD Ghetto Greekest
|
JULIE AND JULIA
-
A refreshingly-charming take on an enduring cultural icon and a lady now likely to go down in history as her #1 fan.
|
OBSESSED (DVD REVIEW)
-
Foxx convincingly conveys the tragic plight of a man still capable of flashes of brilliance who is more often than not betrayed by his own brain.
|
THE SOLOIST ( DVD REVIEW)
-
Foxx convincingly conveys the tragic plight of a man still capable of flashes of brilliance who is more often than not betrayed by his own brain.
