Review: “Death Race”
An orgy of vehicular carnage, "Death Race" doesn't pretend to be more than it is - an arcade game inspired excuse for some automotive...
Review: “Mirrors”
If mirrors reflect the grotesqueries of the soul, then director Alexandre Aja is enduring a dark night indeed. A grisly and blood-soaked horror thriller,...
Review: “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”
There are feelings "Star Wars" fans have grown accustomed too in the past decade - disappointment, shame, disgust and embarrassment. Even with the bar...
Review: “Transsiberian”
One of the year's better thrillers, "Transsiberian" starts out as a very plausible and intelligent slow burn train-set melodrama which later morphs into a...
Review: “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”
An inauspicious (hopeful) end for this unwarranted franchise, the third 'Mummy' is an even more overblown and vacuous than its two predecessors - and...
Review: “The X-Files: I Want to Believe”
An unjustified, unnecessary and frankly uninteresting coda to one of the great sci-fi franchises of modern times, the new 'X-Files' movie doesn't rekindle interest...
Review: “The Dark Knight”
Doing exactly what a sequel should do, "The Dark Knight" takes the already superbly crafted world created in 2005's "Batman Begins" and...
Review: “Mamma Mia!”
A clumsily executed but energetic musical, 'Mia' is a shockingly amateurish film replete with badly choreographed dance numbers, a plot that barely holds together,...
Review: “Hellboy II: The Golden Army”
A modest improvement over the imaginative but uninspired first film, the "Hellboy" sequel marks the closest director Guillermo del Toro has gotten to delivering...
Review: “Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D”
Judged as a new film version of classic Victorian-era sci-fi literature, this 'Journey' is thin, juvenile and ridiculous enough that it makes the hokey...
Review: “Hancock”
Several years ago when "Hancock" was in development under the title "Tonight He Comes", the script was frequently lauded as one of the most...
Review: “Wanted”
For any red-blooded, alpha male who loves to masturbate while armed - this is your movie. "Wanted" disguises its celebration of brutality in a...
Review: “The Incredible Hulk”
Not the home run that they hit the first time around with "Iron Man", this second effort of the new Marvel Studios is good...
Review: “The Happening”
From promising ingenue to critical pariah, the rise and fall of public perception towards M. Night Shyamalan as a filmmaker has been a fascinating...
Review: “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”
In spite of an over reliance on CG, and one too many obvious moments of George Lucas-involved over-the-top tomfoolery, the latest "Indiana Jones" is...
Review: “Speed Racer”
If an LSD trip could manifest itself in physical form and repeatedly rape your sensory sockets like only a repeat offender can, you'll get...
Review: “What Happens in Vegas”
Two people who hate each other end up falling in love - it's a well-trodden formula of romantic comedies. To make it work though,...
Review: “Iron Man”
After running its brand into the ground with its recent half-baked 'three-quels' and other vacuous nonsense ("Ghost Rider," "Fantastic Four"), Marvel's first independently-produced feature...
Review: “Rogue”
It's not only giant man-eating animal movies that hold a hallowed place in cinemagoer's hearts, but there's a long and proud history of giant...
Review: “Forgetting Sarah Marshall”
Aside from the minor misstep of Drillbit Taylor, Judd Apatow and Co . have been on quite a hot streak. 40 Year-Old Virgin, Knocked...
Review: “88 Minutes”
There's only two questions that "88 Minutes" brings up - why is Al Pacino slumming it and why wasn't this released direct-to-DVD. The answer...
Review: “Fool’s Gold”
Idyllic tropical beach locales combined with the equally picturesque tanned torso of Matthew McConaughey make "Fool's Gold" a visual treat. Certainly the fusion of...
Review: “In Bruges”
It's in Belgium. What's in Belgium? Bruges. A medieval fairyland of a Belgian city. With carriages and cathedrals. And one midget. From...
Review: “Over Her Dead Body”
Dear Eva Longoria. Today, when you wake, I want you to go to the window. Feel the morning's bristle of sunshine. Take in the...
Review: “Untraceable”
"Untraceable" can be lauded for one thing - it takes the two most cliched types of serial killer movie and tries to fuse...
Review: “Rambo”
Bringing his second most famous character creation out of retirement two decades since his last orgy of violence, Sylvester Stallone doesn't quite hit his...
Review: “Meet the Spartans”
Those who think imitation is the sincerest form of flattery will no doubt find kindred spirits in the forms of Jason Friedberg and Aaron...
Review: “27 Dresses”
A highly predictable rom-com, "27 Dresses" manages to cover every wedding film cliche in the canon, and does so without yielding any genuine laughs....
Review: “Cassandra’s Dream”
You can stick a fork in Woody Allen, he's done. From 1975's "Love and Death" through to 1994's "Bullets over Broadway," the nebbish Jewish...
Review: “Cloverfield”
It will be interesting to see public reaction when the highly secretive and much anticipated "Cloverfield" is released. Coming in under a heavy weight...
