Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Slumdog Millionaire (DVD Review)

A dizzying and delightful spectacle well worth the investment for the kaleidoscope of colors from the Subcontinent alone.

Seven Pounds (DVD Review)

This surprisingly-superficial message movie amounts to little more than a feature-length public service announcement on the dangers of text-messaging while driving.

Monsters Vs. Aliens

While the 3-D effects may be the ingredient to lure parents to bring the kids out, the second half of the film will have them returning the glasses.

Tell No One DVD

Those blessed with patience are likely to deem the surprising denouement well worth the wait.

The Education of Charlie Banks

Entertaining enough, provided you buy into the idea that even eggheads can relate to a rude rebel without a clue.

Quantum of Solace DVD

A hyperactive 007 whose attention-deficit antics ought to resonate with the restlessness of the overstimulated Joystick Generation.

Twilight DVD

Two hours of non-stop, edge-of-your-seat tension, as you never know what to expect next from this endlessly-inventive mindbender.

Duplicity

The best thing going for this needlessly-complex potboiler is the chemistry between Owen and Roberts, but overall, a disappointing exercise in achingly-familiar irritainment. 

Bolt DVD

An instant kiddie classic that stars John Travolta and Miley Cyrus.

I Love You, Man

It's a romantic comedy that's funny, poignant and works for both sexes.

Hunger

A fitting, posthumous tribute to a martyr who freely sacrificed his own life to highlight the horror of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.

The Great Buck Howard

Malkovich Shines in Character Study of Kreskin-Like Mentalist

Sunshine Cleaning

It's a heartfelt and well-executed dramedy that works based on the performances of the ensemble.

Miss March

Simply one of the worst film this year thus far.

Carmen and Geoffrey

Film stands as a fitting tribute to a pair of extraordinary overachievers and as a touching portrait of over a half century of black-on-black love and of lives very well lived.

This is the Life (DVD REVIEW)

An overdue tribute to a generation of gifted youngsters whose seminal contributions to popular culture deserve to be acknowledged.

Role Models (DVD REVIEW)

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.

Carmen and Geoffrey

Film stands as a fitting tribute to a pair of extraordinary overachievers and as a touching portrait of over a half century of black-on-black love and of lives very well lived.
