From Paris With Love
 ... "cheeky entertainment that is full of mindless violence and inane sequences that serve as its stitched-together storyline, but it knows that and doesn’t betray that reality with supposed intellect or moral ramblings" ...

Zombieland - 
 ... "movie's stand out performance goes to the zombie crusher himself, Woody Harrelson. I think this is one of the best roles Woody's played since Natural Born Killers! Finally, when you add in a hilarious cameo by Bill Murray you really get movie magic!" ...

When in Rome
 ... "the screenplay by David Diamond and David Weissman – who do nothing here to better their Old Dogs reputations - is just a brainless mess of silly characters doing stupid things on camera. Everyone involved should be completely embarrassed" ...

|
Saw VI -
 ... "a mystery picture with ample gore and iron maiden traps, but, despite the gore, it never shakes itself free from the path of detective storytelling" ...

Edgeof Darkness
 ... "isn’t the action-packed free-for-all that marked last year’s Taken phenomenon, Campbell’s quasi-redux delivers hundredfold on unyielding tension and abrupt moments of hard-core violence" ...

Surrogates
 ... "mostly just downright boring. It only goes deep enough into any of its intriguing concepts to make us contemplate what direction it should have gone" ...

Legion
 ... "the actors look bored, the things they say are mostly throw-away lines, and the film takes itself way too seriously to be effective. This is classic What-NOT-To-Do Cinema 101" ...

Whip It -
 ... "leaps in true roller-derby fashion over those holes in character and structure with a profound sense of purpose reminiscent of Hanks’ That Thing You Do" ...

Extraordinary Measures
 ... "despite the heart-rending subject matter, the film lacks any genuine emotional depth or artistic panache. It’s just there, flickering on the screen... actors doing what they do" ...

Gamer -
 ... "While this cautionary tale is not for every moviegoer and critic, especially those who enjoy watching slow moving currents and steamboats, Neveldine/Taylor’s Gamer packs a muscled punch straight into every fanboy’s flabby gut." ...

TheLovely Bones
 ... "Jackson’s cap is a feather fuller. The Lovely Bones as a film does not hold the punch of its source novel, but is affecting just the same" ...

Halloween II
 ... "delivering a fresh order of macabre, Zombie provides the audience – those with the strongest of stomachs - with a deafening closure that is as eerie as it is satisfying and complete" ...

The Book of Eli
 ... "What could have become the Billy Jack or The Road Warrior for a new generation, is instead just a heavy-handed, mélange of ideas that thinks its allusions to Fahrenheit 451 make it smart." ...

The Last Starfighter -
 ... "The Last Starfighter is a classic for the ages, and, along with its peers, remains a formidable entry into youth-oriented boom of cinema" ...

Daybreakers
 ... "Those who like to sit back and take in their horror without much thought can certainly do that. But Daybreakers will also satisfy the thinkers in the audience. It’s got both style and smarts." ...

8 1/2 -

Youth in Revolt
 ... "Despite a couple of moments that don’t translate too comfortably from book to film and an ending that seems more audience-tested and audience-approved instead of what’s best for the narrative, Youth in Revolt remains punctuated with darkly-original perspective and a rhythm to the comedic bits that is energizing and freshly organic" ...

The Hurt Locker -
 ... "as the credits begin to roll, we slowly tear our fingers from the armrests, hoping no one notices the damage to the upholstery. Horror, western, psychological thriller, or war drama... pick a genre. The Hurt Locker is one of the most intense and thrilling representatives from any genre to come down the pike in quite some time" ...

Sherlock Holmes
 ... "Ritchie is a force behind the camera in Sherlock Holmes. The film’s style is visually appealing, but not in an oversaturated sense and his camera is in constant play, but not annoyingly so as many a naysayer had previously feared" ...
more
Ultimately, true fans of the man may find themselves questioning whether this latest version is a piece of fast paced entertainment or a never before seen psyche of a legend that is Sherlock Holmes. Either way, only the sequel will tell. In the meanwhile, both sides wait to see what Ritchie does next...

The Burning Plain
 ... "a brilliant piece of melodrama establishing Arriaga’s directional debut as a force to reckoned with." ...

It's Complicated
 ... "a sophisticatedly funny movie and a worthy addition to Nancy Meyers’s stable of baby boomer porn." ...

Moon -
 ... "For a film that starts slow, it sure packs a stinger of a blind-sided punch in the end, one that will have viewers reeling in thought and drooling for more." ...

Nine
 ... "Despite the epic star power of the cast, there is simply nothing new at work with Marshall’s song-melodrama-more singing-more melodrama pacing" ...

|
The Final Destination -
 ... "Given the many flaws here like terrible acting, lousy plot line and has-been visual effects, THE in the title could well mean THE END of a franchise that should never have had any sequels in the first place" ...
