No new gound is broken with DreamWorks’ latest release. Its simple theme isn’t genre-defying either. But the hilarious hijinks never stop for very long as the first family of cave-dwelling, affectionately called The Croods, takes a family vacation of sorts in this highly ...

The heroes of our nation’s 911 call centers, masquerading as the thankless worker bees who tirelessly navigate the public’s distress in order to save lives, finally get a movie to call their own. But unfortunately, rather than the superhero depiction they deserve ...
The atmospheric residue of Chan-wook Park’s Stoker is not easily scrubbed off. Not that you’ll want to get clean so soon after its credits roll, though. No, the normal reaction for the type of on-screen psychosis is to bask in its glow and thank your lucky stars that ...
Marking the American film debut of Niels Arden Oplev, the master auteur behind the original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Dead Man Down doesn’t pack quite the same guttural punch as the film that unleashed Lisbeth Salander’s angsty, tattooed spunk onto the ...
Disney’s $200-million return to the wonderful world of Oz is neither great nor powerful. It is interesting that Sam Raimi, director of The Evil Dead series and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man franchise, returns to the quick camera angles and darkly-tinged moments ...
The first clue that there’s a serious problem with Todd Robinson’s (Lonely Hearts) Cold War-era submarine thriller Phantom, comes just as the first lines of dialogue are uttered. Captain Demi (Ed Harris), an aging U-boat commander during the height of the Soviet Union...
What’s big and tall and heading to theaters across the nation? Jack the Giant Slayer and, yes, it’s every bit as fee-fi-fo-FUN as it should be. It’s sure to anger the cynical moviegoer with its Princess Bride-esque Fairy Tale vibes. While the dangerously wrong-headed ...
What if, rather than via an all-out full-frontal global assault with phasers blasting, aliens instead invaded Earth quietly, one family at a time? And what if their intention was something far less materially destructive than the total annihilation of our planet to harvest ...
I’m pretty sure no one saw this coming. Pay little attention to the “inspired by a true story” opening suggestion. The statement comes with its fair share of expected emotional bear traps for cynics and warm-fuzzy filmgoers. Focus on the driving narrative instead ...
Hinting at something much bigger than its topical brand of shock humor is able to deliver, the title for Identity Thief seems poignant for today’s information-driven society where having one’s personal identity stolen is but a single careless mouse click ...
Side Effects is supposed to be writer/director Steven Soderbergh’s goodbye to the cinema and filmmaking and while most are not convinced that he can successfully fade away we have to, at this point, take him at his word. And what a head trip through style and ...
The script for Stand Up Guys comes from somewhere deep in the pile of thousands that languish year after year on Hollywood’s Black List, the holding tank for unproduced screenplays where such memorable heavyweights as Juno, Slumdog Millionaire, and The King’s ....
It has been a decade since last we heard from director Walter Hill (The Warriors, 48 Hours) and his latest, Bullet to the Head, offers no explanation for the ten year silence. No apology needed from the maestro, mind you. Just sit back and enjoy the one-liners. Bullet to ...
The unsettling case of the West Memphis Three gets yet another documentary - that’s four now. But West of Memphis is different. Aside from the passing of time - some 18 years - that has uncovered additional evidence, recanted testimony, and incompetent forensics...
Ready for something new from Jason Statham? Something like a romantic comedy? Look elsewhere. This is meat and potatoes Statham. The protagonist of a series of thrillers by the author Donald Westlake, writing under the pseudonym Richard Stark ...Most Recent Film Reviews
