Devil

Devil

The good news surrounding M. Night Shyamalan's latest production Devil is that it's considerably stronger than the writer/director's last three efforts. But then, saying Devil is better than The Last Airbender, The Happening, and Lady in the Water might be considered faint praise at best. The first... [More]

The Town

The Town

The Town further illustrates that star Ben Affleck's true calling may very well be behind the camera. Using Boston as a back drop (as he did with his stunning directorial debut Gone Baby Gone), The Town will most likely draw comparisons to Michael Mann's Heat and Martin Scorsese's The Departed. Whil... [More]

The American

The American

The American moves at a pace that some might consider maddening. The film features George Clooney as an assassin for hire who, after a particularly tough job, heads off to a tiny Italian village where he lies low, awaiting his next assignment. Upon settling in, Clooney develops a bond with a gorge... [More]

Buried

Buried

If you're claustrophobic than the new thriller Buried probably isn't for you. This creative effort from director Rodrigo Cortes features Ryan Reynolds as a man who awakens to find himself buried in a coffin. With limited air supply and a dying cell phone in hand, Reynolds only has a short amount of... [More]

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

As Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps opens, Michael Douglas' Gordon Gekko is getting out of prison. This classic introduction smacks of the opening of John Landis' hilarious Blues Brothers, and it put a great big smile on my face. As Gekko exits the massive gate at the front of the prison, a limo pull... [More]

Going the Distance

Going the Distance

In the well intentioned but labored romantic comedy Going the Distance, the R rating almost serves as a distraction. Look, I'm no prude, but there are several moments in this film when even stars Justin Long and Drew Barrymore look uncomfortable saying the F word. I don't have a problem with bad lan... [More]

The Virginity Hit

The Virginity Hit

Its Superbad, American Pie, and Porky's by way of Blair Witch Project as a high school student attempts to lose his virginity all while his best friends capture his exploits via a video camera. The film was co-produced by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell and it was written and directed by Huck Botko and... [More]

The Other Guys

The Other Guys

Director Adam McKay not only admires and understands the finer points of great comedy (he did, after all, deliver Anchorman--arguably the funniest film of the last decade), but he appears to be incredibly adept with action as well. He gave us a little taste with Talladega Nights, but with the hilar... [More]

Step Up 3D

Step Up 3D

Before getting to the actual review, I must confess; that I haven't seen the first two Step Up movies. I'm told it doesn't matter though, because none of the others have a whole lot to do with the other. Step Up 3D tells the story of an aspiring film maker and dance enthusiast (played by Rick Malamb... [More]

The Expendables

The Expendables

Recently, I boasted about The Expendables panel at Comic-Con. How cool it was. And how certain I was this movie was gonna kick ass! Alas, that panel was considerably better than the film. This isn't to say that The Expendables is a complete pile of crap, but it certainly doesn't live up to its manly... [More]

Piranha 3D

Piranha 3D

Piranha 3D is silly, bloodsoaked, and overflowing with gratuitous nudity, but when it comes to films about prehistoric piranha wreaking havoc on unsuspecting twenty somethings during spring break, it is--HANDS DOWN-- the best film of the summer. No, this isn't a rebirth of the modern horror picture,... [More]

Eat, Love, Pray

Eat, Love, Pray

A more appropriate title for this film might have been Eat Pray Love Sleep, and sleep is what I wanted to do most during this movie's obnoxiously long running time. I don't want to come across as the typical insensitive male type here. I know I'm not Eat Pray Love's target demographic, but seriously... [More]

The Last Exorcism

The Last Exorcism

Of all the strange plot happenings in the new thriller The Last Exorcism, perhaps the most mystifying aspect of the film is that it was produced by extreme horror meister Eli Roth (who served as an actor in Alexandre Aja's recently released Piranha 3D) and somehow still managed to acquire a PG-13 ra...

Mother and Child

Mother and Child

Director Rodrigo Garcia (who made the stellar Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her) once again juggles intersecting storylines. This time, the focus is mothers and daughters. In one plotline, a fiercely independent Naomi Watts plays an attorney who engages in a relationship with her boss (pla... [More]

Predators

Predators

Had Predators come out a couple of years after John McTiernan's original, I might have slightly rejected it, but taking into consideration that it's over twenty years later and that we've had to bare witness to a sub-par sequel and two weak Alien Vs. Predator films, Predators feels like a godsend. A... [More]
