" It's tough, admittedly, to sum up someone's life in just two hours, and even tougher when that person is as genuinely impressive as Ernie Davis. Unfortunately, this movie tries to cram it all in."

" Director Neil LaBute struggles mightily to turn a reliable B-movie premise (maniac cop goes too far) into a deep social commentary about race, or real estate, or something, but the result is an inexplicable mess."

" De Niro and Pacino hit every step so perfectly, they make even the standard cop-movie moments shine."

" Based on the real-life of Jasmine Plummer, this story ought to have all the heart and drama needed, but the onscreen version is too sloppy to even get the clichés right."

" This remake of Roger Corman's camp classic spackles enough blood and burnt rubber into the gaping plot holes it's easy to ignore them until the ride home."

" A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a movie that ignited imaginations and redefined adventure. It's kind of sad that this generation only gets a retread."

" Hulk smash? Let's put it like this: He uses police cars as boxing gloves. Yeah. Hulk smash."

" Fortunately, a smart script and great set pieces make this tale of Soviet spies, weird artifacts and a lost city a worthy capstone to the series."

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)77%

" This scores high on the ass-kickery meter, and what could have been another generic fight film is elevated into a thinking-man's Rocky by writer-director David Mamet."

" It probably looked great on paper. Oh, sure, the concert scenes in this documentary about the Stones' show in New York are top-of-the-line, but it's nothing new."

" A good-natured throwback to the days of screwball comedy, the movie is at its best away from the playing field."

" What's supposed to be a spoof of all the comic-book movies clogging theaters turns out to be an unfunny retread of the first Spider-Man."

" It's all entertaining, especially with the Apatow-patented dialogue, in this case from screenwriters Kristofor Brown and Seth Rogen."

" The talented cast is largely wasted."

The Other Boleyn Girl (2008)41%

" This adventure of preteens encountering a mythical realm lacks the scope of the other entries in the Harry Potter sweepstakes, but it still manages to provide scares and action for the under-12 set."
Posted Feb 14, 2008
 
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)79%

" This movie is a lot like going on vacation and only eating at chain restaurants: familiar and bland, despite the beautiful surroundings."

" The problem is, even as mindless violence, the movie fails."

" Even if we see the happy ending from miles away, it's still a happy ending."

" There's not too much original or surprising in the film."

" The movie really snaps when Hanks and Hoffman are firing screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's dialogue back and forth, discussing arms deals with deadpan humor."

" Walk Hard looks and sounds so much like a real musical biopic that you could make a good drinking game out of naming all the movies that get spoofed."

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)75%
/
A-
 
" Maybe not the most uplifting choice for a holiday flick, but Smith's riveting performance and tight action scenes make this a smart, gripping view of the end of the world."

I Am Legend (2007)69%

" The power of the film's key scenes can make you forget the long, long, long trip it takes to get to them."

" This adaptation is a gorgeous, overstuffed contender for the box-office crown of Harry Potter."

" Writer-director Frank Darabont hits every color in the feel-bad rainbow in this powerful adaptation of one of Stephen King's scariest works."

A-
 
" Until now, the story of Beowulf has been the most excruciatingly dull part of English Lit 101. But plenty of swordplay, monster-slaying and a naked Angelina Jolie turn the centuries-old poem into a bitching action movie."

" Good performances from Redford, Meryl Streep and Tom Cruise are wasted in what's basically a dorm-room debate with a couple of action scenes."

" It's more like a holiday fruitcake: a lot of different chunks of stuff -- some bitter, some sweet, some awful -- half-baked and sent to people low on the Christmas list."
