"How bombs like Meet Dave get the green light in Hollywood is a mystery."

"In addition to having a lame script, Strength and Honor is saddled with characters that are not to be believed."

"Jimmy Carter Man From Plains shows a relatively unvarnished portrait of a man who's not afraid to take on his critics."

"Crusty characters, a bluegrass soundtrack and a dysfunctional family that could exist only in the minds of Hollywood screenwriters make this film more precious than real -- or funny."

4/4
 
"A fascinating, funny and moving documentary -- possibly the best screen exploration ever of the Apollo program."

"As for a plot, the film is too busy piling up dead bodies to have much of one. And, with dialogue consisting almost entirely of movie poster tag lines, Shoot 'Em Up shoots blanks."

"It's when the movie veers away from the green felt that Lucky You slows interminably, and you're left wishing that the characters would just shuffle up and deal."

"They're stories of war that resonate with anyone who has ever been in a war zone, and they illustrate beautifully for those who have not seen battle, just what combat can do to a person's soul."
Posted Apr 3, 2007
 
Operation Homecoming: Writing The Wartime Experience (2007)89%
/
1.5/4
 
"The movie's heart is in the right place. It's just that the route it travels to get there is so dull and unsurprising that you just want the trip to be over with."
Posted Mar 9, 2007
 
The Ultimate Gift (2007)32%

"The film ultimately tells a powerful and little-known historical tale."

Amazing Grace (2007)70%

"An uneven comedy about a milquetoast named Norbit who marries Rasputia, a woman so large she'd start a fire if she wore corduroy pants."

2.5/4
 
"It might have been just another humdrum children's film if not for Highmore, who brings the same charm he did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Finding Neverland to this fun movie."
Posted Jan 12, 2007
 
Arthur and the Invisibles (2007)20%

"Turistas has better production values than most Hollywood pretty-people-in-peril movies. But even beautiful scenery can't gussy up this flat film."

"Man of the Year is merely a Robin Williams stand-up routine wrapped in a limp script."

"Not quite as good as the film made from another Ellroy novel, L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia is a stylish noir in the same vein, with rat-a-tat-tat hipster dialogue, tough guys, hoods, dirty cops, gangsters and molls."

"Scary Movie 4 piles on the gags rat-a-tat-tat style. Like clowns throwing cream pies, some hit their mark. Many miss."

"Tthe gimmicks can't hold up a weak, implausible plot that substitutes violence and gore for a smart story and believable characters."

3/4
 
"First Descent might become tedious for anyone wondering what all the fuss is about. But for those who have felt the thrill of carving an "S" down the side of a mountain on a snowboard, this movie is cheaper than a lift ticket."

"Stealth is a widescreen video game, except all the audience can do is watch instead of grabbing a joystick and playing along."
Posted Jul 28, 2005
 
Stealth (2005)13%
/
2/4
 
"A slice-of-life film that, while well-acted, isn't compelling enough to rise to a tale to which you'd want to give two hours of your undivided attention."
Posted May 6, 2005
 
Winter Solstice (2005)62%

3/4
 
"Viewers who don't mind reading subtitles will be rewarded as they gradually get sucked in by the lush cinematography and a first-class, heartfelt story."

"The film picks up steam as the tunnel nears completion -- thanks, in part, to a Hollywood film crew that pays for the rights to the tunnelers' story, providing them with the money to finish the project."

"Unless audiences think Curtis scampering after a runaway ham is funny, they'll want to skip this Christmas movie instead."

"A fun film that celebrates the pluck of a group of women who aren't afraid to bare all for a calendar that most likely hangs in the front of car repair shops and not in the back."

Calendar Girls (2003)74%
