Review:
The first big-studio movie released in 2009 has a damn fine chance
of being the worst. Bride Wars isn’t just chick-flick hell
for guys, it should numb the skulls of moviegoers of all sexes and
ages. Poor Anne Hathaway has this bottomfeeder playing while
Academy voters are considering her great […]

Review:
A return to the cloying sweetness of Big Daddy
territory for Adam Sandler. He’s a hotel maintenance guy who tells
stories to his niece and nephew that sort of come true. The
shortage of wit and the excess of goo can be summed up in Sandler’s
line to these children of divorce: “I’m like […]

Review:
From John Grogan’s bestseller comes a film about an untrainable
Lab, named after Bob Marley, who teaches Grogan (Owen Wilson) and
his wife (Jennifer Aniston) what matters in life. Watching the
stars try to out-cutesy the mutt is one for the puke bucket.

Rating: 1 Stars

Review:
A potent and profound document of war and its aftermath done as
a cartoon — what’s that all about? Watch and learn, cynics,
even if you think animation is strictly for kung-fu pandas and you
know squat about assassinated Lebanese president Bashir Gemayel.
For what’s on view in Ari […]

Review:
Jim Carrey took his lumps for going serious in The Number
23, so he’s back to the comedy well of Liar Liar, in
which he played a lawyer forced to tell the truth. Now he’s a loan
officer forced to say yes to applicants and to life. If […]

Review:
In the years since 1976’s All the President’s Men, when
little boys and girls wanted to morph into Woodward and Bernstein,
journalists have become pariahs the public can’t stand, let alone
trust. So it’s ballsy for starters that writer-director Rod Lurie
(The Contender) has chosen to make a fierce,fire-breathing
movie, laced […]

Review:
Tom Cruise starring in the fact-based story of a plot to kill
Hitler by Nazi Col. Claus von Stauffenberg sounds like Oscar bait.
It isn’t. And the sooner you accept it, the more fun you’ll have at
this satisfying B movie. Hearing Cruise’s American accent is
jarring at first. […]

Review:
Delicate business is being transacted here concerning the nature
of guilt, legal and moral. OK, that should scare off the
action-junkie crowd. Now we can talk. Director Stephen Daldry and
playwright David Hare, collaborators on The Hours, have
done something profoundly right in bringing Bernhard Schlink’s
controversial German novel to the screen: They’ve made it […]

Starring:
Clint Eastwood
Review:
Clint Eastwood has hinted that his role as bigoted Korean War
veteran Walt Kowalski — a gun-toting widower living in
Detroit near the struggling Ford auto plant and even nearer to the
Asian immigrants crowding him out of his run-down, racially mixed
hood — may be his last role as an actor. Eastwood, 78, has
two Oscars […]
