Movie Review
Battleship Review
A silly summer popcorn flick that tries too hard to be witty and tongue-in-cheek while still embracing its deadly serious commitment to being the ultimate blow-em-up action extravaganza. In the end, neither angle works and the film sinks like a stone.
Movie Review
The Dictator Review
While The Dictator may appear different than Borat and Brüno, it is very much the same idea as both films, packed with the same jokes and new ones that are more disturbing than they are hilarious.
Movie Review
The Avengers Review
The Avengers is one of the best superheroes movies in a long time and is likely to become a classic of the genre. You would need to really hate comic book movies not to get a kick out of this.
Movie Reviews
Brake Review
While the film is suspenseful for awhile, it ultimately becomes a let down because of a stretched out story and an absurd ending.
The Hunter Review [SXSW]
The Hunter delivers a quiet and somewhat meandering story that wallows in self-importance and social agenda.
Beast Review [SXSW]
Beast is an atmospheric but austere film, with intriguing visuals but a general failure to deliver a cohesive tale.
The Trouble With Bliss Review
Through a series of seemingly taboo experiences, including living with one's father and starting a relationship with a high school friend's daughter, The Trouble With Bliss intriguingly showcases the numerous struggles people f...
The Raid: Redemption Review
This adrenaline-fuelled spectacle of flying fists, whirling kicks and spurting blood will leave you breathless, exhilarated and shouting for more.
Nature Calls Review [SXSW]
Overall, this is one comedy I hope never makes it to theaters. Ok, it’s a step or two above Bucky Larson, but it’s not worth the price of admission.
The Hunger Games Review
Despite a few minor problems, The Hunger Games proves to be a promising start to what will no doubt become the next beloved Hollywood mega-series.
Detachment Review
While Adrien Brody gives it his all in his performance, the film suffers greatly from an attempt to equalize its multiple plotlines.
V/H/S Review [SXSW]
Ok, so V/H/S/ has its drawbacks, but for such a collaborative directorial effort I think it worked pretty well.
Casa De Mi Padre Review
Unfortunately for Casa de Mi Padre there’s a very fine line between smart-stupid and slapdash-stupid.
Being Flynn Review
Being Flynn is too dark to appeal to the faint of heart and too safe to draw in those looking for an honest portrayal of a troubled father-son relationship.
21 Jump Street Review [SXSW]
21 Jump Street takes the basic concept of the original series, and uses it to create an action/comedy that is not only palatable to modern audiences, but appealing as well.
John Carter Review
Is John Carter worth seeing? Definitely! Watching an adventure of this magnitude on the big screen is without a doubt worth the ticket price and 2 hours of your time.
Silent House Review
Although it has plenty of atmosphere and tense moments, Silent House is ultimately lacking in every other department.
The Cabin In The Woods Review [SXSW]
What I can definitely tell you, without giving away any of its secrets, is that Cabin In The Woods is going to be a pleasant surprise for just about everyone.
A Thousand Words Review
A thousand words? Try two words: stay away. Murphy does a pretty good job keeping up with the various indignities heaped on him but the movie as a whole ends up sinking.
Friends With Kids Review
Ultimately, Friends With Kids is an unconventional family drama that uses conventional romantic comedy clichés to make its point.
Salmon Fishing In The Yemen Review
As it stands, the best elements of the film become mired in the unwelcome narrative muck, branding Salmon Fishing in the Yemen the one that got away.
