Oceans

Oceans

In celebration of Earth Day (for those who choose to celebrate Earth Day), Disneynature proudly presents Oceans, a gorgeous nature film that offers up breathtaking vistas that are just as awe inspiring as anything in James Cameron's juggernaut Avatar (which, not surprisingly, was released on DVD t...

The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

Disney was kind enough to screen The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time to a ShoWest audience back in March, but not surprisingly, they wouldn't let any of us talk about the film. Now that Prince of Persia is about to be released, we can talk about it. This movie is big in scale and that should com... [More]

Letters To Juliet

Letters To Juliet

As was the case with The Back-Up Plan, I'm not exactly Letters to Juliet's key demographic, but thanks to an appealing turn by Amanda Seyfried and a welcome appearance by a luminous (and classy) Vanessa Redgrave, I found a lot of this picture enjoyable - despite a plethora of obvious rom-com conve...

The Joneses

The Joneses

The Joneses is a golden opportunity missed. Why? It isn't that the film is bad, but it's hugely disappointing, particularly given its interesting premise. If you've seen the trailer, then The Joneses has more or less been spoiled for you. Rather then spoil what the film is about in this review, I'm... [More]

A Nightmare on Elm Street

A Nightmare on Elm Street

Why did it take so long to deliver a reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street to the silver screen? I suppose a better question is, why re-make it at all? The answer to the latter question is all too obvious. Its all about that green stuff that people buy things with. Some twenty six years after the ori... [More]

The Back-Up Plan

The Back-Up Plan

If Date Night is a prime example of how two likable performers can rise above the conventions of an undercooked screenplay, then The Back-Up Plan represents the flip side of that coin. In the Back-Up Plan, unlucky in love Zoe (Jennifer Lopez in the kind of role she should have stopped playing five... [More]

Green Zone

Green Zone

After making two action films with subtle political undertones (The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum) and a haunting thriller that traded in political grandstanding for harrowing drama (United 93), director Paul Greengrass returns with Green Zone, a movie that deals with our early beginnin...

She's Out of My League

She's Out of My League

As She's Out of My League began, I was rooting for it. I really wanted to like it. Lead Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up) is an interesting actor. For starters, if you close your eyes and listen to him speak in this film, you'll swear he's actually Christian Slater in disguise. Beyond that, his geeky awkw... [More]

Alice In Wonderland

Alice In Wonderland

Tim Burton's stylized take on Alice in Wonderland has polarized audiences and critics alike. While this film uses the works of Lewis Carroll as a springboard, it owes just as much to the likes of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Wizard of Oz, and those zany Sid and Marty Krofft television shows...

How To Train Your Dragon

How To Train Your Dragon

How to Train Your Dragon really surprised me. This isn't to say I thought it would suck, but I certainly didn't expect it to move me the way it did. In this CG animated feature from directors Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders (Lilo and Stitch), Jay Baruchel voices Hiccup, a young viking who wants to m... [More]

Hot Tub Time Machine

Hot Tub Time Machine

If you took The Hangover, Back to the Future, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and The Wedding Singer and threw them into a blender, the end result might look a little something like Hot Tub Time Machine, a raunchy, male bonding, time travel comedy that gets a lot of mileage out of an appealing c...

The Ghost Writer

The Ghost Writer

Not to be confused with the weak Nicolas Cage super hero opus, this politically charged espionage thriller The Ghost Writer was directed by the legendary Roman Polanski, a celebrated film maker who is known as much for his infamous involvement in a 70's statutory rape case as he is for his unforgett...

Kick-Ass

Kick-Ass

Our intrepid music guru Kyle England was fortunate enough to see Matthew Vaughn's irreverent super hero opus Kick-Ass at a special screening a few weeks ago. He indicated that it was an entertaining fusion of Superbad and X-Men. A perfect analogy. After seeing the film myself, I'd also like to offer... [More]

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

First, the good news. Chris Columbus' adaptation of the fantasy book Percy Jackson Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief is far better than his last film, the insipid high school comedy I Love You Beth Cooper. The bad news? Percy Jackson is still pretty mediocre. Its Clash of Titans for tw... [More]
