BIOGRAPHY
It's possible that Lisa's love for movies can be traced to the hot Texas summers of her youth when the coolest seat in town was at the local Cinema 6. But even though she's now living in the land of "lake effect" snow, movies continue to draw her to the local theater.

" Sex and the City for the American Girl set, but a decent chick flick."

" The movie is bland. Which is a crying shame when the source material has so much flavor."

" Made of Honor is like a paint-by-the numbers exercise in filmmaking, sealed with a misogynistic lacquer."

" There are a number of laughs in Smart People, but the story is too disjointed and ultimately underwhelming."

" A paint-by-the-numbers chick flick. Heigl and Marsden are likeable, and one does not leave the theater feeling that your intelligence has been insulted."

27 Dresses (2008)41%

.5/4
 
" A typical episode of Law and Order is less ridden with cliché (which is saying something, given that the series is about as formulaic as it gets) and more satisfying."

" While I still think Will Ferrell is a hilarious guy, these Blades are disappointingly dull."

1/4
 
" The movie plays out like a freshman film school project with a big budget; it's very pretty to look at and every plot twist is telegraphed with painful precision."
Posted Feb 2, 2007
 
Because I Said So (2007)5%

2.5/4
 
" Unfortunately, outstanding performances by Allen and Costner aren't given much of a viable dramatic context."
Posted Nov 10, 2006
 
The Upside of Anger (2005)74%
/
1.5/4
 
" It's unfortunate the narrative isn't suffused with more zest and nuance. Instead, it feels calculated and even the most emotional scenes fall flat."
Posted Oct 13, 2006
 
Driving Lessons (2006)49%
/
2/4
 
" For all the big themes Rent deals with -- love, death, injustice, community -- it still seems a bit superficial"

" Bernie Mac has a talent for cussing. It's a talent that can take you pretty far in the entertainment industry, but it still can't carry a movie, as Mr. 3000 demonstrates."

Mr. 3000 (2004)56%
/
1.5/4
 
" There is a bit of a lesson about identity and self-worth imparted here, but it's muddled at best. Who has two hours to waste watching this movie?"
Posted Sep 27, 2006
 
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005)14%
/
2.5/4
 
" It's got a 'Father Knows Best' sensibility about it that exalts character over profit margins. But in my opinion, the story's execution falls short of its potential."
Posted Sep 25, 2006
 
In Good Company (2004)83%
/
2.5/4
 
" I think the movie would have done well to balance the romantic angst with at least one couple that was cheerfully together and had a healthy relationship over a long run."
Posted Sep 15, 2006
 
The Last Kiss (2006)46%
/
1.5/4
 
" The movie does offer some genuine guffaws as it trips over itself to be all things to all people."
Posted Sep 11, 2006
 
Connie and Carla (2004)44%
/
2.5/4
 
" Only the 13-and-under set will buy into the Confessions vision of teen-hood. Most actual teens have already noted the lack of opportunities for air-guitar montages."
Posted Sep 11, 2006
 
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)13%
/
2.5/4
 
" Frankly, I feel like a lot of the intangible 'heart' of the first movie is replaced here with an ongoing conversation about sex."
Posted Sep 8, 2006
 
Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)26%
/
2.5/4
 
" There is a certain meditative grace to the cinematography here, but after a while, well, I was just plain bored."
