Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Obsessed

A cautionary reminder that Hell still hath no fury like a woman scorned, especially when she’s a crazy, two-faced psycho.

The Soloist

Although Jamie Foxx's performance is worth the ticket price, the film fails to leave audiences with a satisfying ending.

Notorious DVD

Neither approving nor judging, Notorious simply presents the gluttonous Biggie in all his materialist glory, allowing the audience to decided what to make of his train wreck of a personal life.

Frost/ Nixon DVD

Playing at a sharp and short 86 minutes, Rogen's on point and riotous in his role.

American Violet

Nicole Beharie captures your heart and soul in a compelling, moving tale that inspires hope to many youths today.

17 Again

Zac Efron Stars in Yet Another Time-Travel Adventure

The Wrestler DVD

It’s hard to ignore the similarities between the title character’s quest for redemption and Rourke’s own career comeback bid.

Observe And Report

Playing at a sharp and short 86 minutes, Rogen's on point and riotous in his role.

No Country For Old Men (DVD Review)

Oscar-winner Javier Bardem steals the show as the most unnerving screen villain in years

Not Easily Broken (DVD Review)

Faith-based entertainment at its best that you don’t have to be Born Again to appreciate.

Doubt (DVD Review)

The film features a quartet of Academy Award-nominated performances including those by Streep, Hoffman, Davis, and Adams

Fast And Furious 4

While it's good to see the original cast back, there isn't much of a story and even less action to keep you entertained.

Adventureland

A refreshing retro comedy with depth recommended more for the message and the romance than for the shock value of its raunchy moments.

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.
