Witless? Yes it is. Protection? Yup you'll need protecting if you see this lame ass movie starring Larry the Cable Guy.

Easily one of 2008's scariest films. Shot on a low budget, a virus is transmitted through electronic devices. Funny and scary as hell.

Michel Gondry's love letter to the movies isn't as wonderful as it should be, but still it's quite a joy to watch.

2008-02-21 10:30
A darkly comic high school movie, where one kid ends up acting as a psychiatrist for his classmates. Off beat and funny and not what you'd think of as your typical high school teen flick.

Interesting idea telling one assassination from five pov, great cast but all the great puzzle pieces don't fall into place and make a great movie.

Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30...
Instead of giving us a documentary about other stand-up comedians, can't Vince Vaughn just give us another comedy? Possibly with Jon Favreau?

Surprisingly funny, tense and with a sad ending. If you love word play, a good cast and great comic deliveries, this dark comedy is for you. Colin Farrell reminds us why we liked him in the first place.

2008-02-10 16:59Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)
Martin Lawrence should drop the lame-o family comedies and get back to brandishing guns with Will Smith or just doing anything with a bit of edge . . . and laughs that would be nice.

2008-02-10 16:57
This rom-com treasure hunt movie is, dare we say it, not bad. A few laughs, a few adventures and at drinks afterwards you won't remember it or talk about it.
0.3 -
2008-02-10 16:56The Hottie and the Nottie (2008)
Definitely a nottie, but like cockroaches and spam, Paris Hilton somehow keeps chugging along and doing her thing even though she's roundly despised.

Hmm... it's a J-horror remake starring Ed Burns as a detective trying to track down spooky phone calls. Haven't we seen this one a bazillion times already and has Ed Burns's career sunk this low? Yes and yes.

An astonishing tale of love and war, both Keira Knightly and James McAvoy shine in the leads of this film, based on Ian McEwan's novel.
0.3 -
2007-12-07 06:23
A wonderful fantasy story, unlike anything you've seen, with some great action sequences. It just feels really anti-climactic in the end.

2007-11-30 05:51
An exceptional family drama with Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Oddly topical as the film revolves around two siblings caring for their ailing father.

2007-11-30 05:50Scaphandre et le papillon, Le (2007)
Wonderful film about a wonderful story. A magazine editor becomes paralyzed except for his left eye, which he uses to communicate to the outside world.

We're not sure what to make of this movie, but it looks creepy and the cast is pretty top notch. As for that plot? Scaarry.

2007-11-16 10:48
Incomprehensible movie say what? Exactly. No one really knows what's going on with Richard Kelly's much maligned follow up to "Donnie Darko." It is adventurous though.
0.3 -
2007-11-16 10:10
Another boring solipsistic work from Noah Bombach. I'd say more but I'm convinced he's dragging Wes Anderson down. Even Nicole Kidman and Jack Black can't save this.
0.3 -
2007-11-16 10:06Love in the Time of Cholera (2007)
If you lower your expectations for this movie you might enjoy it. But with Mike Newell at the helm and Javier Bardem and Benjamin Bratt starring in this based upon Garcia Marquez's novel, well, it shoulda been better.
0.3 -
2007-11-16 10:05Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)
We're suckers for a wonderful family-oriented movie, that it has Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman is pure gravy. Magic and wonder abound indeed.

2007-11-16 10:04
Hard to get past the creepy animation renderings, but if you can this is a pretty balls out flick. Highly entertaining and violent.

2007-11-09 09:28
That's the sound of Wes Bently's acting career freefalling out a window. This is strictly straight to video, and maybe even not that good...

2007-11-09 09:19
What's up with all the mean spirited Christmas flicks lately? This time we've got Vince Vaughn doing his rambling, sarcastic thing up in the North Pole with Paul Giamatti to play off of.

2007-11-09 09:17
The Coen Brothers return to their crime-noir roots in what is being hailed as one of this year's best movies. Tommy Lee Jones heads up a great cast in this madness set near the U.S.-Mexico border.

For those expecting a liberal tirade against the current administration you'll be surprised at the film's even handedness. For those hoping for answers you won't find them here.
0.3 -
2007-11-01 11:20Before the Devil Knows You're Dead...
[limited] This is being hailed as another Sidney Lumet masterpiece, sure to be awash in awards at the end of the year. Ethan Hawke and Phillip Seymour Hoffman turn in astounding performances in this Greek-like tragedy.

2007-11-01 11:17
It's no Pixar animated movie, but Seinfeld's attempt at this territory is met with mixed results. Enjoyable for a few hours but leaves very little lasting impression.
0.3 -
2007-11-01 11:14
Decent enough with John Cusack as a broken man who adopts a troubled child. Ending is abrupt, solid acting hides most of the cliches.
0.3 -
2007-11-01 11:12
Great, but not classical great, which can feel like a slight disappointment when you've got Denzel, Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott involved.

Who knew the 'Ffleck had it in him? This Boston mystery rises above the genre and is a real triumph for all involved. Here's hoping this becomes a franchise
0.3 -
2007-10-19 11:09
Very reminiscent of "In the Bedroom," this time Mark Ruffalo and Joaquin Phoenix are torn apart from a terrible tragedy. Both performances are exceptional in an otherwise unexceptional film.
0.3 -
2007-10-19 11:06Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)
This is a very solid adult flick, with great performances. I say adult, because these types of dramas are becoming a rarity.
0.3 -
2007-10-19 11:03
Maybe we just expect more out of director Gavin Hood (Tsotsi), but this topical political film just left us feeling un-engaged, just too many broad strokes painted.
0.3 -
2007-10-19 11:00
Now this is a vampire movie. Scary as hell. Brutal, unrelenting, terrifying and violent. You're never given a chance to catch your breath in this horrifying survival tale.

2007-09-28 09:59
A multi-layered meditation on love. Morgan Freeman and Greg Kinnear are standouts in this film. Based on "A Midsummer Night's Dream." More enjoyable than you'd think.

2007-09-28 09:56
Ang Lee takes a big gamble with an NC-17 espionage noir thriller set in Hong Kong. Lee demonstrates why he's one of the master directors working today. This is brilliant filmmaking.

Better than Life Aquatic but doesn't approach the innocent whimsy of his best efforts. Still we're happy to see him on the right track.

2007-09-28 09:50
Solid, political action thriller. Gripping story, well-acted. You can't really ask for much more than you get with this one.

2007-09-28 09:33
True story: My mom was a teacher for the little girl's stunt double in this flick. Here's one more: Tom Brady was hoping this happened to him. Oh... which is to say this movie is not good.
0.3 -
2007-09-21 12:49
A modern retelling of 'Snow White' for the tween set. Amanda Bynes has to have a breakout role at some point doesn't she? This might not be it, but we still love her anyway.
0.3 -
2007-09-21 12:47
Director Sean Penn has another winner on his hands, this time telling the story of vagabond Chris McCandless. Top flight cast playing against expectations and shooting on location elevate this story.
0.3 -
2007-09-21 12:44
Mildly humerous, but how much you like this movie depends on how much you like Dane Cook. Us? Not so much even though he's a Boston-guy. Jessica Alba shines in her first comedy role.
0.3 -
2007-09-21 12:41The Assassination of Jesse James by the...
[Limited]Western fans get a different yet equally as impressive flick on the heels of 3:10 To Yuma. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck shine in their titular roles
0.3 -
2007-09-21 12:33Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Yup, third time is def. not the charm. How they even got to make a third movie is beyond us. Someone better get Milla Jovovich a new agent. She's better than this dreck.

2007-08-09 12:36
Some words to describe this: turgid, turdish, torpid, trainwreck, terrible, terribly bad, tedious, totally lame. How on earth does Brett Ratner get to make movies? Befuddled.
0.3 -
2007-08-09 12:33
Neurotic high school love story about a stuttering boy on the debate team. Comparisons to Wes Anderson are not uncalled for. Better than you'd think or could hope for as it recalls those awkward teenage years.
0.3 -
2007-08-09 12:29
This is solidly bad filmmaking, even for B-level horror standards. One can only wonder what has happened to Elias Koteas's career. Pray for him so it can get back on track.
0.3 -
2007-08-09 12:27
An out and out mixed bag. Lots to enjoy but too much to groan at to ever be fully transcendent. DeNiro shines as a gay pirate, as does Ms. Pfeiffer as an evil witch.
0.3 -
2007-08-02 10:19
Follows the life of pre-fame author Jane Austen, who's books are hot in Hollywood. Not bad for a dead British author from 100 years ago. Of course, she falls in love, and finds inspiration for all those books.

2007-08-02 10:17
Stupid fun about an accident-prone daredevil from SNLer Andy Samberg. Hopefully, the Lonely Island Boys will help him out with the laughs.

2007-08-02 10:15
The third time doesn't disappoint. Non-stop action from the get go and Bourne finally figures out who he is. A worthy addition and possible end to the spy franchise.

2007-08-02 10:14
A ho-hum biopic about Salsa King Hector Lavoe. Word is, however, it's better than GIGLI.

2007-08-02 10:11
There is a slight need to fear b/c something tells us not even Jason Lee's voice will save this flick. Looks like it should have been animated. Where was Underdog to stop Michael Vick?

Probably because they'll be no wait to see this MOR romantic comedy. Pity the wasted talent. Not bad, just not great.
0.3 -
2007-07-26 12:25
It was the drugs and the papparezzi, et cetera. Anyway, pity the other cast members in this one as the Linds Lohan movie has become the butt of every joke. Including her career. Zing!

D'Oh! This one's a no-brainer. No plot details yet, but does it matter?

Hopefully, no one in this shameless "Caddyshack" rip-off for the hip/hop kids. When is Cedric the Entertainer going to never be allowed to work again?

2007-07-11 11:49Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...
Solid entry to the series, however, not as great as the third or fourth movies. Director David Yates made the most out of the worst book by author JK Rowling.

2007-07-02 07:53
Um, yeah the plot is dumb. But it's got giant robots! Shia LeBeouf shines, as does Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime.

Director John Dahl has returned to his neo-noir roots, with this hitman flick. Funny at times, touching in other moments. Great performances by Tea Leoni, Luke Wilson and Sir Ben Kingsly.

Sequel to 'Bruce Almighty' with Steve Carell and Lauren Graham. Did we mention we love Lauren Graham? Sorta funny, but sorta not.

A guy finds true paranormal hell in room 1408. Based on a Stephen King property. One of the better King adaptations to come down the pipe.

Even a sexy beach volleyball scene can't save this terrible drek of a movie.

A Canadian zombie comedy-horror. No, "Shaun of the Dead" but fairly worth it to see a guy fight to save his best friend after said friend eats a neighbor.

2007-06-14 08:12
Nancy Drew rocks it Hollywood style, a la The Brady Bunch. Oddly enjoyable for the tween set and their parents won't be cringing.

Slightly cooler than the first, which isn't saying much. Gotta love the Silver Surfer though?

Meh. Like most Kevin Costner movies, it's got some good stuff that doesn't outweigh all the bad stuff.

Just a hilarious affair about a schlub who knocks up a hottie. Seth Rogan take a bow sir, as you've just entered leading comic man status.

Leave it to Japanese anime to make cartoons for adults. Trippy adventure of a young therapist who must recover a missing machine. One that allows users to go inside people's dreams. Stunning animation!

Luc Besson is back! This came out two years ago in France and is in limited release here. An angel helps a small time scam artist get his game together.

A solid horror/psychodrama from William Friedkin. It's not fantastic, but it's perfect for a Saturday matinée when you're looking for some scares.

2007-05-24 11:20Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's...
Another rousing adventure on the high seas, full of action and laughs. Bigger than the other for sure. Keith Richards cameo is pretty awesome!

2007-05-17 10:09The Wendell Baker Story (2005)
Luke and Andrew Wilson direct this indie con job movie, with bro Owen making an appearance. No Bottle Rocket, but still has some laughs.

Not as good as Henry Fool but with Hal Hartley directing, Parker Posey and Jeff Goldblum starring, what's not to love in this wink and nod noir spy film.

Enjoyable, but not great. Pretty much critic proof, the only mystery is will it knock off Spider-Man 3's opening weekend box-office?

We like Cary Elwes, Felicity Huffman and Dermot Mulroney. We just don't like this movie very much. Or LiLo for that matter.

Shockingly better than the Danny Boyle original. Which is saying something since we heart the original zombie flick.

Director Curtis Hanson, who even made Eminem look good, packs it in for this run-of-the-mill rom com.

Really? Someone greenlit a Jaime Kennedy movie? Dare I suggest renting "Malibu's Most Wanted" or "Son of the Mask?"

It's like "Series 7" meets the Japanese import "Battle Royale." Not that good, but we'll guiltily cop to finding it pleasurable.

Phillip K. Dick is now 2 for 200 in Hollywood. We're counting this Nic Cage failure as like 160 failed adaptations cause it's monumentally bad.

Why would David Goyer waste his time with this "Ghost" meets "One-Tree Hill" terribleness?

Adam Brody hopes for a breakout role in this generic emo rom-com. Zack Braff would certainly approve. So, like, we're totally there!

Could be a creepy horror film, but Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale seem a bit out of place in this snuff film.

2007-04-19 10:45
Solid acting from Gosling and Hopkins make this worth watching. Decent twists as well in this suspenseful cat-and-mouse affair.

Doing for the cop movie what they did for the zombie flick, Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost return with the funny.

Decent thriller let down by final act. LeBeouf is the real star of this one.
