An irresponsible frittering away of the cinematic capital amassed by Stiffler, McLovin and other beloved icons of the teen genre.
|
Watchmen

With its heavy adult-themed plot, viewers will be mixed with this artistic approach. Nevertheless, there are plenty of elements that make the film worth seeing.

Phoebe in Wonderland
-
The picture is worthwhile for the powerful performance of Elle Fanning alone, an emerging star steadily rising out of her sister Dakota’s shadow.

HE’S JUST THAT NOT INTO YOU(2nd Review)
-
Don’t be duped by the promising-sounding scenarios, the material here never digs any deeper than the average episode of a cheesy TV sitcom from the Sixties or Seventies.

PUSH
-
With its kinetic pace and convoluted storyline, the film is too infuriating to hold your interest.

A sappy chick flick for soap opera fans inclined to sacrifice character development in favor of panoramic seascapes and lingering close-ups of locked lips and loins.
