Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen(DVD REVIEW)

Transformers 2 ups the ante in terms of all the bombastic bells and whistles which have become the Bay trademark.


Law Abiding Citizen

The film is filled with plenty of action but also laced with absurdities that make folks who work in law enforcement cry for justice.


Black Dynamite

Essentially, the movie is a nostalgic throwback celebrating all of the trademarks of the blaxploit genre.


Couples Retreat

A pleasant romantic romp likely to delight, provided you’re willing to put your brain on pause for a couple of hours.


American Violet(DVD REVIEW)

A movie which earns high marks simply for being the first feature film with the guts to take the subject of racial profiling dead seriously.


More Than A Game

'More Than a Game' is a riveting, emotional and inspirational documentary that captures the ups and downs of five young men who bonded as friends and teammates.


Whip It

Pleasant, if formulaic, Whip It is mostly a mindless diversion designed to hold your interest via a profusion of such teensploit staples

Zombieland

A yuck-filled screamfest which generates far more mirth than tension, gobs of gore served up onscreen notwithstanding.


Surrogates

“Rude Awakening Reception” might have made a better title for this tragicomic reunion where nobody’s really well-equipped to handle the truth.

Truth Hall

Yetta nudder cautionary tale issuing dire warnings about the pitfalls of technology run amuck.


Away We Go(DVD REVIEW)

Although the resolution feels far too rushed to be convincing, the wry ride there is nonetheless delightful enough to make the trip worthwhile.


The Other Man

Despite the prowess of the all star cast, the characters in the film were insufficiently developed.


The Informant

Matt Damon seems an ill-match for his role as the mentally-unstable title character

Jennifer's Body

Screenwriter and Oscar winner Diablo Cody succumbs here to the proverbial sophomore jinx and film doesn't have much of an arc to Jennifer’s character.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (DVD REVIEW)

Think Fantastic Four as opposed to The Dark Knight and you have a good idea of what to expect of this action-oriented, twist-driven morality play

The Burning Plain

A convoluted, cinematic jigsaw puzzle of Shakespearean proportions.

Next Day Air (DVD REVIEW)

A screwball splatter flick which might best thought of as a campy cross of Cotton Comes to Harlem and No Country for Old Men.

Tyler Perry's I Can Do Bad All By Myself

Perry predictably delivers a "lesson" toward the end of the film about the power of love over violence. After watching the movie, you'll either leave inspired or ready to turn in your church membership.

Extract

No reason to waste your hard-earned bucks on this derivative dud, when you can rent the originals, "Office Space" and "Idiocracy," and actually laugh your butt off.

Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (DVD Review)

A high-energy adventure serving up just enough fun to ensure that the Bring It On franchise survives for installment #6.

We Live In Public

The internet indicted as a mind control tool subtly turning humanity into exhibitionistic automatons.

Gospel Hill

A well-meaning, modern morality play which telegraphs its punches, like a Sunday school parable about the difference between good versus evil.

STATE OF PLAY (DVD REVIEW)

This is a flick with a transparent, political agenda posing as an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Sometimes, getting there is all the fun.

Taking Woodstock

A wistful autobiography recounting the pivotal role Elliot Teichberg played in the weeks leading up to the historic weekend

MOTHERLAND

‘Motherland’ is an honest and intimate look at emotional pain. It’s a story that’s uplifting, heartfelt and poignant.

INGLORIOUS BASTERDS

Quentin Tarantino's best yet, a seamless, tour de force not to be missed.


Confessionsofa Ex-Doofus-ItchyFooted Mutha (DVD REVIEW)

Melvin Van Peebles Stars in Semi-Autobiographical Vanity Pic

DISTRICT 9

'District 9' is a uniquely moving, heartfelt and provocative drama that stays with you after you've left the theater.

STEPPIN': The Movie(DVD Review)

Star-Studded Cast Can’t Save Straight-to-DVD Ghetto Greekest

JULIE AND JULIA

A refreshingly-charming take on an enduring cultural icon and a lady now likely to go down in history as her #1 fan.

OBSESSED (DVD REVIEW)

Foxx convincingly conveys the tragic plight of a man still capable of flashes of brilliance who is more often than not betrayed by his own brain.

THE SOLOIST ( DVD REVIEW)

Foxx convincingly conveys the tragic plight of a man still capable of flashes of brilliance who is more often than not betrayed by his own brain.
