He's about to check in to room 1408 of a New York hotel, against the warnings of manager Samuel L. Jackson. Prepare for a very scary thriller that will have your heart pounding before the action even gets started. 15 MinutesMovie Review - Mar 16, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth "15 Minutes" is a rather excellent social commentary film about what makes criminals celebrities and vice versa. 16 BlocksMovie Review - Apr 4, 2006 - By Jeremy Gonzalez What at first seems like a typical dirty cop movie soon becomes much more. 200 CigarettesMovie Review - Feb 26, 1999 - By Raul Burriel It's New York City on New Year's Eve, 1981, and Monica (Martha Plimpton) is throwing a party. 2012Movie Review - Nov 16, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr The latest entry in the disaster porn genre offers boatloads of special effects but few surprises. 2016: Obama's AmericaMovie Review - Sep 12, 2012 - By David Wagner The #2 political documentary of all time releases to theaters at a crucial moment in the American political season. 21 GramsMovie Review - Nov 18, 2003 - By Jim Pappas At the time of death, a body loses 21 grams, the weight of a stack of 5 nickels, or so we are told in this grim and emotionally powerful new film. 300Movie Review - Mar 6, 2007 - By Jonathan Baylis 300 lives up to the hype visually, but is it actually any good? 3000 Miles to GracelandMovie Review - Feb 23, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth More about a return to mindless violence than Elvis impersonating. 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 daysMovie Review - Dec 7, 2007 - By Jim Pappas In Communist Rumania in 1986 abortions were illegal. Those laws have now been changed there, but see what it was like in this stunning film.

A murder mystery? A musical? Or a French farce? The A-TeamMovie Review - Jun 14, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart High on over-the-top action and characters, this plan has a couple of lows but is still a fun ride. A.I. Artificial IntelligenceMovie Review - Jun 26, 2001 - By Alex Keen Spielberg, Kubrick, Osment, & Law. One man's attempt to reinvent the modern movie ends up conflicted. A.I. Artificial IntelligenceMovie Review - Jun 28, 2001 - By Andrea Hazard While much has been made of A.I.’s retelling of the Pinocchio fairy-tale, I couldn’t help but think of another classic story - "Frankenstein." About a BoyMovie Review - Apr 30, 2002 - By Alex Keen The third adaptation of a Nick Hornby novel will be released in direct competion with "Star Wars: Episode II." Read my thoughts inside. About SchmidtMovie Review - Dec 9, 2002 - By Alex Keen Alexander Payne's follow-up to "Election" is not up to snuff... Abraham Lincoln: Vampire HunterMovie Review - Jun 24, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" is as absurd as it gets- but man, it sure is a lot of fun and Benjamin Walker is a talent to watch. Act of ValorMovie Review - Feb 26, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Though "Act of Valor"'s promotion of using real active-duty Navy SEALs might seem like a gimmick, the film itself certainly isn't and is well worth seeing. Adam and EveMovie Review - Nov 5, 2005 - By Chad Maddux Warning: Stupidity Ahead. Unfortunately, there was no warning on this movie. However, you may now consider yourself warned. The Adjustment BureauMovie Review - Mar 7, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Matt Damon and Emily Blunt star in a romantic drama that's been promoted as "more mind-bending than Inception." Oh, if only that were the case... The Adventures of Pluto NashMovie Review - Aug 17, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Eddie Murphy stars as Pluto Nash, in a futuristic comedy/adventure that just misses its mark. The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3DMovie Review - Jun 10, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Director Robert Rodriguez fails again in his attempt to make a good family film. The Adventures of TintinMovie Review - Dec 27, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Steven Spielberg gives us his first venture into both animation and 3D with "The Adventures of Tintin," but will an American audience go along for the ride? After the WeddingMovie Review - Mar 29, 2007 - By Jim Pappas What one expects can sometimes be far different from what one receives, as is illustrated nicely by this Oscar nominated film from Denmark. The AlamoMovie Review - Apr 12, 2004 - By Jim Pappas A history lesson, this new version of the legendary battle plays it too straight. Alex & EmmaMovie Review - Jun 18, 2003 - By Sean Conover Thankfully, Director Rob Reiner is at it again, this time throwing likeable Luke Wilson into the Romantic Lead category. "Alex & Emma" will hook you until the very end, and may just become this summer's sleeper hit. Alex CrossMovie Review - Oct 21, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter It's so bad even Madea fans will find little to enjoy. AlexanderMovie Review - Nov 19, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Oliver Stone plays it straight with his new film, a historical drama and fact based account about one of history's most legendary figures. AlfieMovie Review - Oct 20, 2004 - By Gabriela Kejner "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" would have been a very different film if it had portrayed Ferris as a single man in his late twenties/early thirties instead of as a high school student. In fact, it would have been a film called "Alfie." AlfieMovie Review - Oct 31, 2004 - By Scott Juba Law's suave charisma saves what is an otherwise forgettable film. Alice in WonderlandMovie Review - Mar 7, 2010 - By R.J. Carter Tim Burton's reimagining of the Lewis Carroll classic suffers on a number of levels, the most obvious being that it's mistitled. All the Pretty HorsesMovie Review - Jan 3, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Billy Bob Thornton could have wrangled up a better western than this. Almost FamousMovie Review - Sep 8, 2000 - By Petronella Petronella is back, reviewing Cameron Crowe's new film "Almost Famous". Alone in the DarkMovie Review - Jan 28, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Stupefyingly pointless, this latest film from Lions Gate is sure to make many a 2005 worst movie list. Along Came PollyMovie Review - Jan 15, 2004 - By Adam Martignetti Polly wants a plot. Alpha DogMovie Review - Jan 15, 2007 - By Ted Porter Based on a true story, this crime drama about privileged young drug dealers in the suburbs is flawed but undeniably watchable, even gripping at times. Amazing GraceMovie Review - Mar 1, 2007 - By Paul Schultz The story of acclaimed British abolitionist William Wilberforce is certainly not a household name, but after seeing this historical drama, you'll wonder why. The Amazing Spider-ManMovie Review - Jul 4, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Proof positive that Sony is just trying to maintain a lucrative license. The Amazing Spider-ManMovie Review - Jul 8, 2012 - By Eric Deters "The Amazing Spider-Man" retreads some too familiar territory for too long, but once it gets going, you'll know you got your money's worth. The Amazing Spider-ManMovie Review - Jul 8, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Not so amazing but more amazingly bad..."The Amazing Spider-Man" is just a mess from start to finish. American OutlawsMovie Review - Aug 16, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth While not quite as great as the Wilson/Chan western, this comedy is a force to be reckoned with and a lot of fun. Analyze ThisMovie Review - Mar 10, 1999 - By Raul Burriel There's one thing I know for certain after seeing this movie. And that's that I never ever want to see Robert De Niro cry this much again... ever. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron BurgundyMovie Review - Jul 9, 2004 - By Scott Juba While "Anchorman" does entertain in spurts, its main flaw is that it is not consistently funny. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron BurgundyMovie Review - Jul 10, 2004 - By R.J. Carter They bring you the news so you don't have to get it yourself. Unfortunately, they don't watch this movie for you so you don't have to. Angels & DemonsMovie Review - May 14, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter The sequel to "The Da Vinci Code" is better than it's predecessor in almost every way. The Animation ShowMovie Review - Mar 13, 2005 - By Jonathan Baylis Sometimes a cartoon is a cartoon. And sometimes... AnnapolisMovie Review - Jan 27, 2006 - By Renee Vorbeck "An Officer and a Gentleman" meets "Rocky" in this lackluster film about an underdog who makes good. AnonymousMovie Review - Nov 6, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter The question of Shakespeare's authorship is overshadowed by Roland Emmerich's desire to tell an Elizabethan intrigue film. AntichristMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell Following the death of their son, a woman suffers intense grief (or pain, or despair), eventually requiring hospitalization and a medicinal cocktail, which her husband rejects, feeling that he, as a therapist, knows better than the doctor. Antwone FisherMovie Review - Dec 12, 2002 - By Alex Keen Denzel Washington's directorial debut is flawless... Apollo 18Movie Review - Sep 3, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Apollo 18" is the latest in the sub-genre of "found footage" movies, and I think it's a fun one. ArgoMovie Review - Oct 14, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Argo" is only actor Ben Affleck's third directorial effort, but you'd never be able to tell that... "Argo" is compelling filmmaking and a terrific night at the movies. ArgoMovie Review - Oct 14, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Ben Affleck directs a historically accurate Oscar contender. ArgoMovie Review - Nov 5, 2012 - By Eric Deters Argo is surprising in a number of ways, and it's Ben Affleck's best directorial effort by far. The Astronaut FarmerMovie Review - Feb 23, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Former astronaut Charles Farmer dreams of building his own rocket ship, one that will take him into orbit around the Earth. It's a dream he can only accomplish with his family standing by his side. But others would try to stop him. Atlas Shrugged: Part IIMovie Review - Oct 15, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart The "Atlas Shrugged" movies are certainly atypical Hollywood fare and that in itself is admirable. This had my attention all the way through and I certainly admire the effort to get it out there. AtonementMovie Review - Dec 9, 2007 - By Ted Porter This adaptation of Ian McEwan's novel hits many of the right notes in a compelling story of love, lies and guilt set before and during World War II. Auf der anderen Seite (The Edge of Heaven)Movie Review - Jun 24, 2008 - By Robert Bell As a slightly morbid investigation of East-West culture clashes and the reconnection and adaptation of human relationships that surround loss and disappointment, "The Edge of Heaven" succeeds. Austin Powers in GoldmemberMovie Review - Jul 27, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Made with some care and craftsmanship, the third installment in the Austin Powers series delights, repulses, and generally entertains us in this winning effort from Mike Myers and Co. The AvengersMovie Review - Aug 19, 1998 - By Raul Burriel The Avengers is based on the British action-comedy-spy series of the 1960's originally starring Patrick Macnee as John Steed and Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. The series itself is fairly obscure and generally forgotten to most movie goers, although most will remember the show about the guy with the bowler hat and umbrella, and the girl in the rubber cat suits. The AviatorMovie Review - Feb 21, 2005 - By Beth Gottfried A week before the Oscars and I finally made it out to see arguably one of 2004's critical successes. Bad Boys IIMovie Review - Jul 16, 2003 - By Sean Conover If you go in to the theater expecting nothing more than over-the-top explosions, expletives, and excitement, then you'll get what you pay for. Ballistic: Ecks Vs. SeverMovie Review - Sep 19, 2002 - By Sean Conover In contrast to the G.I. Joe cartoon, unscathed characters in a 90-minute film becomes unbelievable, and ends up being bad for business. BandslamMovie Review - Aug 13, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr It's chapter 367,514 in the old 'The geek gets the girl' story, but at least it comes with a decent soundtrack. The Banger SistersMovie Review - Sep 18, 2002 - By Sean Conover Needless to say, the theme of the decade-old film "Thelma and Louise" was on my mind going into Susan Sarandon's latest buddy escapade, this time teaming up with Goldie Hawn in "The Banger Sisters." Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised, and my wife and I left the theater smiling instead of her calling me names. Basic Instinct 2Movie Review - Apr 4, 2006 - By Ted Porter It's astonishing that the people involved in this dreadful, misguided sequel either ignored or simply didn't have the basic instinct that this movie would be a disaster. Batman BeginsMovie Review - Jun 18, 2005 - By R.J. Carter Christopher Nolan delivers "The Passion of Bruce Wayne", successfully resurrecting the Batman franchise in this action thriller. Battle: Los AngelesMovie Review - Mar 11, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Battle: Los Angeles" delivers a terrific big screen thrill ride and features great work from actor Aaron Eckhart. BattleshipMovie Review - May 20, 2012 - By Dennis Russo Battleships are big, and "Battleship" is a big, fun, summer action flick. BattleshipMovie Review - May 20, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart As cliched as it sounds, "Battleship" sinks, though if you keep your expectations low, you still might have some fun with it. The Beautiful CountryMovie Review - Apr 17, 2005 - By Jim Pappas The plight of refugees, and the prejudices Ameriasians face in Viet Nam are on display in this new film. A Beautiful MindMovie Review - Dec 18, 2001 - By Alex Keen As Princeton University Professor John Nash, Russell Crowe brings to cinema one of his most powerful performances. Before SunsetMovie Review - Jul 18, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Sometimes honesty can be fun, sometimes it hurts. Those are two of life's aspects examined by this sequel Bend it Like BeckhamMovie Review - Mar 18, 2003 - By Adam Martignetti Beckham’s most endearing quality is the earnestness with which it treats its subject matter and the characters of the film, Bend it Like BeckhamMovie Review - Mar 12, 2003 - By Joel MacRae "Bend it like Beckham" concentrates on the life of Jessie Bhamra, the daughter off Indian parents. To Jessie, the most interesting thing in life is Football (soccer) and, in particular, soccer's greatest star: David Beckham. Better Luck TomorrowMovie Review - Apr 25, 2003 - By Frances Anne Banner "Better Luck Tomorrow" isn't such an unlucky pick for this weekend. BewitchedMovie Review - Jun 25, 2005 - By R.J. Carter The sparks are few and far between in this less-than-enchanting Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman vehicle. Beyond BordersMovie Review - Oct 25, 2003 - By Jim Pappas An attempt at raising the level of awareness of the plight of refugees around the world, this film only manages to create a desire to leave the theater. Big FishMovie Review - Dec 14, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Tim Burton's new film is a personal reflection about the power of imagination, and how much fun life really can be. Big Man Japan (Dai-Nipponjin)Movie Review - May 14, 2008 - By Paul Schultz A sixth-generation Japanese superhero stars in his own reality show in this wacky import that revels in its strangeness yet has you chuckling along at all the absurdity. The Black DahliaMovie Review - Sep 18, 2006 - By Ted Porter Despite lush visuals and the potential elements of a great film, Brian De Palma's mystery-thriller is a disappointing mess that fails to thrill. Black SwanMovie Review - Dec 18, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Darren Aronofsky's latest movie delves into the harrowing side of creative fulfillment and delivers a mostly terrific performance from Natalie Portman, just don't expect a passive experience. Blair Witch 2: Book of ShadowsMovie Review - Oct 19, 2000 - By Jim Van Nest So, I weasled my way into another sneak preview. This time it's Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. BlindnessMovie Review - Sep 19, 2008 - By Robert Bell Acting as a kind of erudite art house zombie movie, which dumbs down potential profundity with hippie-dippy, New Age, pseudo-philosophical insights on the state of mankind, Blindness creates discomfort and despondency but glosses over central connectivity, leaving a void where emotional resonance is intended. Blood WorkMovie Review - Aug 11, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Clint Eastwood is back fighting crime as Terry McCaleb, a retired FBI agent seeking the identity of a serial killer in this deliberately paced crime drama. Blue CrushMovie Review - Aug 17, 2002 - By Amanda Jones Many will venture out to see "Blue Crush" for the hot girls in bikinis. While providing plenty of that, John Stockwell brings much more to the film than just lycra triangles. Body of LiesMovie Review - Oct 9, 2008 - By Jim Pappas The Middle East occupies a lot of attention these days, and this film is probably the best one about the war on terrorism to date. The Book of EliMovie Review - Jan 17, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart The first movie in 9 years from the Hughes Brothers is already one of those that I'll be thinking about as one of the best that I've seen 2010 when the end of the year rolls around. The Bourne IdentityMovie Review - Jun 14, 2002 - By Kevin Kuphal Don't be fooled. The Bourne Identity is probably the best spy movie to hit the screens since Spy Game. And while I have never read the books, I'm positive that this increased my enjoyment of the film which is admittedly a detraction from the plot of the novel. And despite this detraction, what remains is a slick and entertaining movie with plenty of action and suspense. Details and some spoilers to follow so be warned. The Bourne LegacyMovie Review - Aug 12, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Renner and Weisz can't save this incomplete story. The Bourne LegacyMovie Review - Aug 13, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart This expansion of the Bourne series is a mixed bag, but Jeremy Renner and Rachel Weisz make it worth seeing. The Bourne SupremacyMovie Review - Jul 24, 2004 - By Scott Juba Although there are minor bumps in the road along the way, for the most part, "The Bourne Supremacy" is a satisfying spy thriller that is a legitimate contribution to the genre. Bowling for ColumbineMovie Review - Oct 4, 2002 - By Alex Keen Michael Moore's latest controversial documentary is a complex query about the United States relationship with guns. A fascinating example of how documentary film can grapple with an important, but answerless question. The BoxMovie Review - Nov 6, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr Question: What do nosebleeds, lightning, a prosthetic foot, a wedding, and the NSA have in common? Answer: Nothing. And that pretty much sums up Richard Kelly's newest film. The Boy in Striped PajamasMovie Review - Nov 6, 2008 - By Robert Bell Arguably one of the most challenging and devastating films of the year, "The Boy in Striped Pyjamas" makes the unique decision to reveal the atrocities of WWII through the eyes of childhood innocence and naivety. Boys and GirlsMovie Review - Jun 18, 2000 - By Alex Keen So I went to see Boys and Girls today. I was hoping for at best... "She's All That", and at worst, well, something really bad. The conclusion I have come to now is a mixed bag of feelings. BraveMovie Review - Jun 24, 2012 - By Dennis Russo Disney Pixar's" Brave" is a wee bit of awesomness! This movie is why you should see a 3D movie. The Brave OneMovie Review - Sep 14, 2007 - By Max Braden After her husband is killed by thugs, Jodie Foster's new gun keeps going off right in the direction of bad men. Will detective Terrence Howard take her down? Opens Sept. 14. Breakfast with ScotMovie Review - Oct 9, 2008 - By Robert Bell Drastically simplifying the complexities of internalized homophobia in relation to the public presentation of same-sex unions and historically feminine characteristics, Breakfast with Scot succeeds mainly in spoon-feeding some unfortunate realities of the homosexual persuasion to a mainstream audience that likely had not given it any prior thought. Bridget Jones's DiaryMovie Review - Apr 5, 2001 - By Gabriela Kejner Calista Flockhart beware, a realistic woman is now coming to theaters. *GASP* She eats food! Bringing Down the HouseMovie Review - Feb 24, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Everyone is insulted equally in this new comedy. From Black to White, rich to poor, young to old Brokeback MountainMovie Review - Dec 31, 2005 - By Beth Gottfried Is Ang Lee's latest epic worth all the Oscar buzz? The god's honest truth: NO! Broken CityMovie Review - Jan 19, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Broken City" was a little bit of a surprise to me; a very entertaining noir-ish thriller with terrific performances from Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe. Brooklyn RulesMovie Review - May 18, 2007 - By R.J. Carter "Stand By Me" meets "Goodfellas" in this Michael Corrente picture about a friendship set against the backdrop of the rise of John Gotti. Brooklyn's FinestMovie Review - Mar 7, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Director Antoine Fuqua is in fine form with his latest movie, delivering three great character studies handled with maturity. Brother BearMovie Review - Oct 30, 2003 - By Sean Conover Ask anyone who hasn’t seen the film and I’m willing to bet they’ll say they remember the moose jokes. On the flip side, ask anyone who has seen the film, and I’m willing to bet they’ll say that the more memorable scenes of the film involve moose jokes as well. Brother BearMovie Review - Nov 2, 2003 - By R.J. Carter Stunning visuals and a rousing soundtrack make "Brother Bear" a cinematic masterpiece of animation. The Brothers GrimmMovie Review - Aug 26, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Grim is certainly a keyword for this less than enchanted fairy tale from director Terry Gilliam. The BrothersMovie Review - Mar 29, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Completely and totally gangster free, "The Brothers" is filled with enough sharp wit and comedy to keep everyone laughing. Bruce AlmightyMovie Review - May 24, 2003 - By R.J. Carter Jim Carrey finds himself embued with the powers of the Almighty Creator of the universe. God help us all! Bubba Ho-TepMovie Review - Oct 4, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Horror with a heart, this film is surprisingly touching and warm, something one doesn't see too often in this genre Bullet to the HeadMovie Review - Feb 4, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Bullet to the Head" is an entertaining throwback '80s action film; there's nothing new here, but Sylvester Stallone still has chops and Jason Momoa virtually steals every scene that he's in. Bulletproof MonkMovie Review - Apr 17, 2003 - By Kenneth Leung "Bulletproof Monk" has a lot of wise words. One wise phrase not mentioned is not to see this movie... BurlesqueMovie Review - Nov 24, 2010 - By Carrie Bradshaw Glitz, glamour, and girls -- that's "Burlesque." The Business of StrangersMovie Review - Nov 27, 2001 - By Alex Keen Movie reviews are consistently littered with words like tension, irony, intensity, shock, and atmosphere. In this review of “The Business of Strangers,” none of these words will be included. The Butterfly EffectMovie Review - Jan 25, 2004 - By Jim Pappas What happens to us as children determines where we end up as adults. If we could change those events, how would it effect us later in life? This question, and others are discussed and answered in this dramatic new film. The Cabin in the WoodsMovie Review - Apr 29, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart I can certainly admire the ambition that director Drew Goddard and producer Joss Whedon had with "The Cabin in the Woods," but I just don't think they were successful with it. Cairo TimeMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell Patricia Clarkson saves what is essentially an unwatchable, pretentious mess, by elevating perfunctory dialogue and a blasé story of repressed passion with a fascinating and nuanced subtlety that leaves us wondering what cards she holds in her hands. Camp RockMovie Review - Jun 24, 2008 - By Doug DeBolt While it might not match the quality or success of High School Musical, this latest Disney Channel original stands well on its own merits. Captain America: The First AvengerMovie Review - Jul 22, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter Does Chris Evans finally find a costume that suits him in his fifth comic-related movie? Captain America: The First AvengerMovie Review - Jul 25, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Marvel hits one out of the park with "Captain America: The First Avenger."

Casa de los BabysMovie Review - Oct 14, 2003 - By Rachel Jaffe John Sayles juxtaposes cultures and personalities to create a haunting film. CasanovaMovie Review - Jan 10, 2006 - By Max Braden Heath Ledger plays the legendary 18th century Venetian lover who meets his match with Sienna Miller in this enjoyable romantic comedy. Wide release Jan. 6. CashbackMovie Review - Jul 20, 2007 - By R.J. Carter If you enjoy magical realism, and you're willing to commit to the story from its beginning, "Cashback" will reward you with fantastic parts if not a fantastic whole. Casino RoyaleMovie Review - Nov 22, 2006 - By Scott Juba Daniel Craig breathes new life into the stale series and ensures that Bond will continue to be a hero of the silver screen well into this new century. Cassandra's DreamMovie Review - Jan 21, 2008 - By Ted Porter Woody Allen's latest, a London-set drama about two brothers who commit a horrible crime, is tight, well-acted and suspenseful. Cast AwayMovie Review - Dec 24, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth Unlike "Forrest Gump," "Cast Away" leaves you stranded, hollow, and a bit bored. Catch Me If You CanMovie Review - Dec 20, 2002 - By Sean Conover Using classic elements of cat-and-mouse, the gleeful delight caused by each narrow escape delivers what is lacking in many films: fun and excitement. Charlie and the Chocolate FactoryMovie Review - Jul 15, 2005 - By Max Braden Despite an offputting trailer, Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton deliver a decent revision of the children's classic. Charlie's Angels: Full ThrottleMovie Review - Jun 28, 2003 - By Jim Pappas This second film based on the TV series sputters in it's attempt to capture the fun and fantasy of it's cinematic predecessor. Charlotte GrayMovie Review - Jan 1, 2002 - By Alex Keen A possible Oscar contender fails to meet the standard in the most important of fields - interest. Beware, reading reviews of boring movies may be hazardous to your health. Cherry FallsMovie Review - Oct 17, 2000 - By Kenneth Leung Se7en returns to the reviewing scene with this horror flick from USA Films. Le Chiavi di casa (The Keys to the House)Movie Review - Dec 12, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Physically challenged people are part of all of our lives.

Chicken RunMovie Review - Jun 25, 2000 - By Alex Keen Don't walk, run to read this review about claymated chickens and mice and people and so forth. ChokeMovie Review - Sep 25, 2008 - By Robert Bell For all of the mentions of hamsters, champagne bottles and sundry household items being inserted into ones fundament, as well as topless senior citizens and inappropriate sexual activity in the house of the lord, Choke is surprisingly flat, formulaic and digestible. ChronicleMovie Review - Feb 5, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Chronicle" is a real gem; compelling characters and fresh takes on teens with superpowers and the "found footage" genre. Don't miss this one! The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince CaspianMovie Review - May 19, 2008 - By Doug DeBolt This sequel lacks the charms of the original, but makes up for it with maturity and intensity. The Chronicles of RiddickMovie Review - Jun 7, 2004 - By Rachel Jaffe Four years and a couple of blockbuster movies later, Vin Diesel returns to the character that made him a leading man, but this time on a whole new scale. CiaoMovie Review - Dec 4, 2008 - By Robert Bell Quietly contemplative, often haunting, strangely simplistic and surprisingly literal, “Ciao” is a film with visible frays around the edges but is touching and well intentioned. Cinderella ManMovie Review - May 30, 2005 - By Jim Pappas The inspirational true story of boxer Jim Braddock's rise from poverty to champion is a sure fire hit. City By The SeaMovie Review - Sep 7, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Based on a true story, "City By The Sea" is powered by excellent performances, and asks its audience to both think and feel.

Carter In a post-9/11 world, an out-of-work accountant becomes obsessed with the activities of his new neighbor, convinced the man is mounting a terrorist plot. Clash of the TitansMovie Review - Apr 4, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter Another inferior Hollywood remake of cult classic and a waste of 3D technology. Clash of the TitansMovie Review - Apr 4, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Clash of the Titans is good, fun popcorn action, but fails on cashing in on the 3D bandwagon. Clerks IIMovie Review - Jul 21, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis When Joel Siegel walked out of my screening, I knew that it was an extra stamp of approval. Dante and Randal are back! CloserMovie Review - Dec 1, 2004 - By Jim Pappas What has love got to do with it? I have no idea, but Mike Nichols new film dives in head first. CloserMovie Review - Dec 6, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried Why do we become pathetic creatures when we fall in love? Mike Nichols probes this eternal question in his latest film and in doing so, opens up a whole new can of worms. Cloud AtlasMovie Review - Oct 28, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Cloud Atlas" is the type of epic that demands to be seen on the big screen. It's ambitious in every aspect and both thrilling and emotionally moving. Cloudy with a Chance of MeatballsMovie Review - Sep 18, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr Sony's adaptation of the 1978 children's book is a hat-trick: visually breathtaking, superbly written, and impeccably voiced. CloverfieldMovie Review - Jan 19, 2008 - By Max Braden Audiences finally have a chance to find out what's attacking New York in this higly anticipated monster thriller from "Lost" producer JJ Abrams. Just be sure to sit far enough from the screen so that you can see what you're looking at. CloverfieldMovie Review - Jan 22, 2008 - By Jonathan Baylis The pitch was easy. "Godzilla" meets "Blair Witch Project". But does it succeed more as a monster movie or as an exploitation of 9-11 imagery? Coach CarterMovie Review - Jan 9, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Ken Carter is a real life coach whose efforts helped, and continue to help, the lives of young people. Come and see a part of his story in this terrific new film from Paramount. Code 46Movie Review - Aug 8, 2004 - By Jim Pappas The future may be a very weird and strange place, and director Michael Winterbottom shows us what might happen in his new film. Coffee and CigarettesMovie Review - May 20, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried In a film as lackluster as lukewarm coffee (sans cigarettes), Bill Murray and Alfred Molina still manage to secure some laughs, thus elevating an otherwise bleak feature into mediocrity. Cold MountainMovie Review - Jan 7, 2004 - By Max Braden Jude Law's trek to return to Nicole Kidman during the Civil War is long and depressing, but well worth your patience. Based on the novel and directed by Anthony Minghella, this movie should figure prominently among the Oscar nominations Cold SoulsMovie Review - Aug 5, 2009 - By Robert Bell "Cold Souls" is a fairly prosaic glance at thorny questions treated glibly and without insight, while an exuberant actor goes undirected. CollateralMovie Review - Aug 3, 2004 - By Scott Wyatt With all of the CGI-influenced films that has been released this summer, "Collateral" is a breath of fresh air but unfortunately the pace of the film is enough to suck that air right out of your sails. CollusionMovie Review - Sep 11, 2003 - By Beth Gottfried "Collusion" drives director Richard Burridge’s sexy and suspenseful foray into the illusive, high-brow world of the London art scene. Seemingly innocuous subtleties and sultry undertones betray the characters’ delicate vulnerabilities simultaneously keeping our puzzled minds racing in a perpetual state of motion. "Collusion" undoubtedly deceives but Burridge’s talent for filmmaking is 100% genuine. Comme une image (Look At Me)Movie Review - Mar 25, 2005 - By Jim Pappas A film that examines relationships, both familial and otherwise, this new offering from France asks something more from its audience than just mindless attention. Conan The BarbarianMovie Review - Aug 21, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Director Marcus Nispel delivers some entertaining fun with the new Conan film and Jason Momoa is a star to watch. Confessions of a Dangerous MindMovie Review - Dec 19, 2002 - By Sean Conover Sam Rockwell portrays the pitch-man turned killer in this enjoyable rollercoaster ride of a film that chronicles Chuck Barris' life from the day he was born right up through the present day. ConfidenceMovie Review - Apr 26, 2003 - By Max Braden Performances by Ed Burns and Dustin Hoffman make up for some storytelling don'ts in this heist movie. ConstantineMovie Review - Feb 11, 2005 - By Max Braden Keanu Reeves stars in the good vs. evil sci-fi thriller based on the graphic novel Hellblazer. In theaters Feb. 18. ConstantineMovie Review - Feb 20, 2005 - By Scott Juba The film's tight script propels the action of the story forward with enough intrigue to make the audience overlook the mediocre cast. ContagionMovie Review - Sep 12, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Steven Soderbergh's newest movie "Contagion" may be clinical, but it's still an intelligent and effective thriller. ContrabandMovie Review - Jan 15, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Contraband" is a good diversionary crime movie that could've been a lot better if it hadn't taken a conventional way out. The Count of Monte CristoMovie Review - Jan 24, 2002 - By Wes Davies "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a story of love, betrayal and revenge starring the ever underrated Jim Caviezel as the title character, and the hot Guy Pearce as his nemesis. The Country BearsMovie Review - Jul 20, 2002 - By Sean Conover Going into Disney's "The Country Bears," I was torn as to how I would approach the film. As a parent of young children, I'm delighted to see that G-rated films are still being produced, even though they have a stigma of being 'unmarketable' in today's world. As a movie-goer, I cringed at the thought of having to sit through a "Chuck E. Cheese" performance for an hour and a half. Cowboys & AliensMovie Review - Jul 31, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter Space...in the Western frontier...these are the battles of outlaw Daniel Craig and cattleman Harrison Ford. Cowboys & AliensMovie Review - Aug 1, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Cowboys & Aliens" is a fun genre mash-up as long as you don't expect every question to be answered. Cowboys and AliensMovie Review - Jul 26, 2011 - By Chris Delloiacono Was Jon Favreau's gift to Comic Con a good one? The CraziesMovie Review - Feb 28, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart This remake of George Romero's original has a nice sense of tension, but some plot holes make the ride a little bumpy. crazy/beautifulMovie Review - Jul 2, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Definately more cerebral than most teen fare, this motion picture is worth at least one viewing and perhaps two. Creatures from the Pink LagoonMovie Review - Sep 25, 2007 - By Rachel Jaffe As this campy zombie film proudly proclaims: Pink is the new black! Crimen ferpectoMovie Review - Aug 20, 2005 - By Jim Pappas A truly funny and inspired black comedy that strips away the veneer of civilization, and lays bare our true natures. CriminalMovie Review - Sep 8, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Things are never what they appear to be in most caper movies, and in this new film by first time director Gregory Jacobs the tradition lives on. The Crocodile Hunter: Collision CourseMovie Review - Jul 15, 2002 - By Sean Conover With seething performances by some of Hollywood's greatest and beautiful cinematography, this film is bound to be a front-runner in next year's Oscar race. Oh, wait...that was "Road to Perdition." If you're expecting any of these things from "Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course," you're out of luck. Otherwise, if you're not expecting too much, you may just be surprised at how fun this film actually is. Crusade of VengeanceMovie Review - Jan 1, 2006 - By R.J. Carter This Zena-esque medieval tale finds Joanna Pacula wielding a sword against Rutger Haer in th name of motherhood, freedom, and bad acting. Curious GeorgeMovie Review - Feb 11, 2006 - By Jim Pappas The little monkey takes Manhattan. The Da Vinci CodeMovie Review - May 20, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis Ron Howard yet again underwhelms with a multi-million dollar film that feels more like a made-for-tv movie and I believe that most of the controversy surrounding this film has been manufactured for maximum publicity. The Da Vinci CodeMovie Review - May 21, 2006 - By Raul Burriel Two-and-a-half hours for a movie so banal is just asking too much. The Da Vinci CodeMovie Review - May 22, 2006 - By Ted Porter In their desire to get things just right, Ron Howard and company have managed to create a safe, respectable movie drained of any real inspiration or hint of provocation. The Damned UnitedMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell To understand the experience of watching "The Damned United" without actually doing so, one need look no further than the pedigree associated with it. DaredevilMovie Review - Feb 15, 2003 - By Jim Pappas "Daredevil" starts slowly but finishes strong in this latest Marvel comic book creation brought to cinematic life by director Mark Steven Johnson The Dark Knight RisesMovie Review - Jul 21, 2012 - By Eric Deters The film that truly needs no introduction is finally here. Does the conclusion to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy soar as high as its predecessors? Is that even a question that needs to be asked? The Dark Knight RisesMovie Review - Jul 23, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "The Dark Knight Rises" is an absolutely satisfying conclusion to one of the best comic book series to ever hit the big screen. The Dark KnightMovie Review - Jul 15, 2008 - By R.J. Carter Batman returns to the big screen with explosive force in this non-stop action ride through madness, tragedy and triumph. Dark SkiesMovie Review - Feb 24, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Dark Skies" is a fairly average tale of alien abduction that gets a little boost from an effective third act. The Darkest HourMovie Review - Jan 2, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart It's another alien invasion with "The Darkest Hour" and unfortunately it just doesn't stand out like it should. DarknessMovie Review - Jan 21, 2005 - By Scott Juba A horror movie works when it gets under your skin and inside your head. "Darkness" does just that. Darkness FallsMovie Review - Jan 22, 2003 - By Sean Conover With an interesting premise, what could have been a watchable suspense film unfortunately descends into a lame slasher flick. Das weiße Band (The White Ribbon)Movie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell Winner of the Palme D’or at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, Michael Haneke’s latest indictment of humanity takes aim at the German sensibility pre-WWI, implying that malice, deception and blind vengeance lie beneath a polite and orderly exterior. Dawn of the DeadMovie Review - Mar 18, 2004 - By Jim Pappas When there is no more room in Hell, the Dead will walk the Earth. In this case, they run, and we are scared to death because of it. The Day After TomorrowMovie Review - May 26, 2004 - By Scott Juba When it comes to destroying the world with state of the art CGI effects, Roland Emmerich is a master. Unfortunately, when it comes to crafting a compelling, character driven story, he is a miserable failure. Day ZeroMovie Review - Jan 17, 2008 - By R.J. Carter The draft is back, and three friends are notified they have thirty days to report for duty. How they spend that time will reveal a lot about their character in this thought-provoking film. DaybreakersMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell After awhile, however, we begin to tire of the bland, humourless characters and the piecemeal story patching together what is essentially a series of vampire-related, science fiction ideas and prospects without focus. DaybreakersMovie Review - Jan 11, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart "Daybreakers" offers some new ideas to the vampire genre while giving it it's teeth back. De-LovelyMovie Review - Jul 9, 2004 - By Max Braden Kevin Kline portrays song composer Cole Porter in a romance/musical biography, with Ashley Judd. An excellent selection of songs is offset by a distracting pace. In selected cities July 2. Death RaceMovie Review - Aug 23, 2008 - By Sean D. Malone What do you get when you cross Escape from New York, The Running Man, and the video game Mario Kart? A finely tuned remake of Death Race 2000 (1975). The DebtMovie Review - Sep 1, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter This slow-paced spy caper is not nearly as good as the sum of its parts. DeceptionMovie Review - Apr 28, 2008 - By Ted Porter This thriller starring Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman lives up to its name, but not in a good way. Deck the HallsMovie Review - Nov 25, 2006 - By R.J. Carter Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito headline this 20th Century Fox holiday comedy that's as high on pratfalls as it is on predictability. Definitely, MaybeMovie Review - Feb 16, 2008 - By Max Braden Ryan Reynolds gives his daughter (Abigail Breslin) a bedtime story about how he chose her mom from the trio of Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher, and Rachel Weisz. This year's Valentine's Day date movie is decent but lacks much spark. DerailedMovie Review - Nov 11, 2005 - By Sean Conover Could someone break into your life at the most inopportune moment and disrupt it to the point where you are at risk of losing everything you've ever worked for? The DescentMovie Review - Aug 8, 2006 - By Ted Porter One of the better horror films to come along in the last few years, this UK production with an all-female cast packs in enough claustrophobic thrills and genuine scares to make you afraid of the dark again. The Devil InsideMovie Review - Jan 15, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart I love "found footage" horror films, but "The Devil Inside" makes a few key mistakes that doesn't do a lot of good in preserving its illusion. The Devil's DoubleMovie Review - Sep 6, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Simply put, "The Devil's Double" is one of the best movies I've seen this year and Dominic Cooper at the very least deserves an Oscar nomination for his work here. Diarios de motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries)Movie Review - Sep 21, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Sure to be an Oscar nominee, this film takes us to South America and all of that continents beauty. Diarios de motocicleta (The Motorcycle Diaries)Movie Review - Oct 27, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried Finally a film about Revolutionary Che Guevara that gets it right. Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog DaysMovie Review - Aug 5, 2012 - By Dennis Russo "Dog Days" is a hot summer movie for the kid set and their parents. Dickie Roberts: Former Child StarMovie Review - Sep 9, 2003 - By Sean Conover Do we pity these former stars, or is it ok to point and laugh? Thankfully, "Dickie Roberts" does a little of both in a lighthearted and silly manner. Dirty DeedsMovie Review - Aug 25, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Done dirt cheap . . . Dirty Pretty ThingsMovie Review - Oct 15, 2002 - By Andrea Hazard "Dirty Pretty Things" is a gutsy and masterfully crafted film about invisible people that demands to be seen. DisturbiaMovie Review - Apr 15, 2007 - By Ted Porter A kind of "Rear Window" for teenagers, this thriller falls far short of Hitchcock's masterpiece but manages to provide a light, entertaining take on voyeurism and privacy in the digital age. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya SisterhoodMovie Review - May 27, 2002 - By Amanda Jones Rebecca Wells’ second novel has sold four million copies and achieved a cult-like following. Unfortunately, its movie adaptation is frankly far from divine. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya SisterhoodMovie Review - Jun 9, 2002 - By Jim Pappas This movie explores some serious issues while trying to engage the viewer. A mature movie, to say the least, it is not accessible to those who are mostly entertained by flash, bang, boom. The Diving Bell and the ButterflyMovie Review - Nov 27, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Jean-Dominique Baudy was on top of the world as editor of a famous French fashion magazine until he suffered a stroke.

La donation (The Donation)Movie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell Much like Bernard Emond’s recent award winning Canadian submission for the 2008 Academy Awards, "The Necessities of Life", "The Donation" focuses its attention on the sense of alienation and displacement one has when thrust into an unfamiliar environment and culture. The Door in the FloorMovie Review - May 30, 2004 - By Jim Pappas What happens to people when they suffer a great loss is examined in this very downbeat film, based upon a John Irving novel. Double TakeMovie Review - Jan 14, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth If you see any negative reviews of this film, do a double take. Down to EarthMovie Review - Feb 19, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth "Heaven Can Wait" is an excel... Wha? I'm reviewing "Down to Earth?" Oh yeah. "Down to Earth" is a horrible...

DriveMovie Review - Sep 18, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Drive" is a great mix of style and substance with terrific performances from Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks. Drive Angry 3DMovie Review - Feb 27, 2011 - By Chris Delloiacono This Nicolas Cage vehicle is a wholly modern exploitation film. But is it 3D worthy? Drive Angry 3DMovie Review - Feb 27, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart A terrific performance from William Fichtner and good 3D are some highlights from "Drive Angry 3D." DrivenMovie Review - Apr 28, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth It may drive viewers to the theatres to inagurate summer; but can this racing movie drive them home afterwards? Dude, Where's My Car?Movie Review - Dec 17, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth Not bad enough to be rated R means the film is not good enough for even an average grade. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met LloydMovie Review - Jun 14, 2003 - By Jim Pappas The prequel to the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels driven movie may lack those two stars, but it possesses enough of it's own charm to serve as a pleasant summer diversion. Dungeons & DragonsMovie Review - Dec 8, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth Playing "Dungeons & Dragons" with strict rules is no fun. So just relax.

Eating OutMovie Review - Jul 26, 2005 - By Rachel Jaffe American Idol alum Jim Verraros makes a good acting debut in this less-than-impressive movie. Edge of DarknessMovie Review - Feb 1, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Mel Gibson's first lead starring role in eight years is a fine return to form in this well made thriller. EdtvMovie Review - Mar 18, 1999 - By Raul Burriel Ed Pekurny isn't as dumb as he looks...This is no mean feat, considering Ed Pekurny is played by Matthew McConaughey sporting a southern drawl. Eight Legged FreaksMovie Review - Jul 17, 2002 - By Sean Conover What do you get when mix toxic waste, an isolated town, and an exotic spider rancher? Why, a gigantic spider movie, of course. ElegyMovie Review - Aug 7, 2008 - By Robert Bell Elegy proves a worthy adaptation that takes the appropriate liberties with the text to enrich secondary characters and heighten character interactivity. ElektraMovie Review - Jan 14, 2005 - By Jim Pappas This latest Marvel Comics hero brought to cinematic life suffers from its own brevity Eleven MinutesMovie Review - Apr 15, 2008 - By Rachel Jaffe A new documentary about Project Runway's Jay McCarroll takes you behind the scenes of Fashion Week.

EquilibriumMovie Review - Dec 9, 2002 - By Max Braden Max Braden laments the limited distribution of "Equilibrium," noting its homages to several classic films. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless MindMovie Review - Mar 29, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried Don't bother playing it again Sam. The most romantic love story to hit the big screen in years stars Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in a quirky film about love, loss, and new beginnings. If I sound all romantic and sappy, wait till you read my review. Evan AlmightyMovie Review - Jul 9, 2007 - By R.J. Carter Ev & the Almighty -- aka Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman -- pair up for a fun, family-friendly comedy. EvergreenMovie Review - Sep 7, 2004 - By Jim Pappas First time director Enid Zentelis takes us into the lives of two impoverished women with this new film. The ExMovie Review - May 11, 2007 - By Max Braden Zach Braff and Amanda Peet play a couple torn apart by her ex, paraplegic Jason Bateman. Other than a few laughs, it feels like a half hour sitcom drawn thinly over feature length. Exit WoundsMovie Review - Mar 17, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Despite the film being a traditional shoot-em-up, "Exit Wounds" proves quite enjoyable. The Exorcism of Emily RoseMovie Review - Aug 31, 2005 - By Scott Juba "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" is a perfectly executed display of riveting acting, flawless direction, and inspired writing, and is, by far, the best movie released so far this year. The ExpendablesMovie Review - Aug 15, 2010 - By Raul Burriel "The Expendables" is why the word "craptastic" was invented. The ExpendablesMovie Review - Aug 15, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart And now, for the differing opinion... a terrifically fun throwback action movie from Sylvester Stallone and a whole host of great action stars. Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (Amélie)Movie Review - Oct 27, 2001 - By Kenneth Leung Everybody lives in a fantasy – it's just a matter of whether we keep one foot in reality. The Family ManMovie Review - Dec 23, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth "The grass is always greener" or "You can't always get what you want." Either cliche will do. Fantastic FourMovie Review - Jul 6, 2005 - By Jim Pappas A faithful adaptation of the Marvel Comic Book, this new film should satisfy fans. Far From HeavenMovie Review - Nov 1, 2002 - By Alex Keen One of the featured films of the Toronto International Film Festival, "Far From Heaven" is a powerful drama set during the 1950s. Director Todd Haynes tackles a pair of subjects too taboo for American suburbia. Fast FiveMovie Review - May 1, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Now this is a sequel! If you're a fan of "The Fast and The Furious" series, you do not want to miss "Fast Five." FasterMovie Review - Nov 29, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Faster's promotion doesn't do it justice; instead of an over-the-top action movie, what you get here is a sincere crime film with Dwayne Johnson back in a harder-edged part. Fear XMovie Review - Jan 20, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Not a horror movie despite its title, this film is disturbing and eventually unsettling, and it makes you think. Femme FataleMovie Review - Nov 8, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Brian De Palma has crafted a well written but oddly cast thriller that has an effective surprise ending. The FighterMovie Review - Jan 3, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart David O. Russell's latest drama, "The Fighter," is a knockout with some truly terrific performances. The Fighting TemptationsMovie Review - Sep 5, 2003 - By Sean Conover I'll be the first to admit it: movie musicals don't appeal to me. Maybe I should clarify; I don't like movie musicals in the classic sense. Final Destination 2Movie Review - Jan 28, 2003 - By Sean Conover "Final Destination 2" keeps it's ideals planted in the same intriguing notion as the first: is there a natural order to that which we are supposed to die? Final Destination 5Movie Review - Aug 15, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Death, again, finds a way in "Final Destination 5," a very fun ride that's definitely worth seeing in 3D. Finding ForresterMovie Review - Dec 18, 2000 - By Alex Keen Finding Forrester found my heart, as I fell in love with Gus Van Sant's newest masterpiece. Finding NemoMovie Review - Jun 1, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Another solid effort from Pixar's studios, this particular "fish tale" will amuse and delight both children and adults. Finding NeverlandMovie Review - Nov 23, 2004 - By Scott Juba With the guided vision of director Marc Forster, a moving script, and a stellar cast, "Finding Neverland" is as enchanting as the Peter Pan fairytale itself. Finding NeverlandMovie Review - Jan 15, 2005 - By Beth Gottfried Can a boy stay a child forever simply by just believing or is all just a bit of silliness really? FireproofMovie Review - Oct 9, 2008 - By Doug DeBolt The makers of Facing the Giants make moviemaking strides in this cautionary tale about love, marriage Fish TankMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell The title, "Fish Tank", refers to the sense of insular learned behaviour that those segregated by class, and housing projects, are unable to escape or defend themselves against the unknown. Flags of Our FathersMovie Review - Oct 20, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis I love Clint Eastwood, but I keep wondering if he should've quit directing with "Unforgiven". Will it be V-Day for "Flags of Our Fathers"? Flash of GeniusMovie Review - Oct 3, 2008 - By Robert Bell Taking a typical humdrum underdog biopic and injecting some topical significance and mild corporate and political subversion, Flash of Genius is sure to please most demographics with an entirely accessible and relatable battle and a slick commercial vision. FlightMovie Review - Nov 4, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter A misleading marketing campaign made me feel like my luggage was at a different movie. FlightMovie Review - Nov 12, 2012 - By Eric Deters Flight is a great movie with a really unfortunate, really major flaw. The Fog of WarMovie Review - Mar 1, 2004 - By Rachel Jaffe Winner of the Oscar for Best Documentary, "Fog of War" provides questions more useful than answers would have been. The Forbidden KingdomMovie Review - Apr 18, 2008 - By Jim Pappas The historic teaming of Jet Li and Jackie Chan highlights this new adventure film, and it makes seeing this film a bonafide pleasure. Formula 51Movie Review - Oct 22, 2002 - By Jim Pappas A formula for a new drug, consisting entirely of legal ingredients, is the bait on the hook that lures the fish to bite in the U.S. release of "Formula 51". FortunesMovie Review - Dec 7, 2005 - By R.J. Carter Three friends enter a palm-reader's storefront, and change their lives. "Fortunes" is a comedy in the school of Woody Allen's subtle dryness. The Four FeathersMovie Review - Sep 16, 2002 - By Sean Conover Not quite an epic film journey in the tradition of "Lawrence of Arabia," the film fails to fully hit it's mark, although it does come close. The Fourth KindMovie Review - Nov 6, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter This movie explores the various levels of close encounters, particularly the alien abductions. But it might just be one kind too many. FrailtyMovie Review - Apr 13, 2002 - By Jim Pappas "Frailty" is a disturbing, thoughtful and original horror/psychological drama with supernatural overtones. It looks unflinchingly at what happens to a family when the head of the household becomes apparently insane.

Fright NightMovie Review - Aug 29, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Fright Night" is a very entertaining re-make of the 1985 original, bolstered with strong performances from Colin Farrell and David Tennant. From Justin to KellyMovie Review - Jun 20, 2003 - By Brian Bunton The movie spawned by that TV show on FOX is finally in theaters... is it everything you'd expected? Or, hope against hope, more? From Paris With LoveMovie Review - Feb 7, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart The latest movie from producer Luc Besson and director Pierre Morel is far better than I ever thought it was going to be. Full FrontalMovie Review - Aug 5, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Director Steven Soderbergh departs from his prior work, and leaves the audience scratching their heads, in this film within films view of Hollywood and some of its more insipid and tawdry characters.. Gangster SquadMovie Review - Jan 13, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart There's nothing new going on in this hard-boiled war-on-crime movie, but it's still a lot of fun and has one terrific performance from Sean Penn. Gangster SquadMovie Review - Jan 14, 2013 - By Eric Deters Gangster Squad is an inconsequential yet entertaining film that could've been so much more. Garage DaysMovie Review - Jul 19, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Released in Australia in 2002, "Garage Days" features outstanding acting performances but the story just doesn't move one.

Ghost RiderMovie Review - Feb 18, 2007 - By Paul Schultz An ill-advised deal with the Devil turns stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze into a literal Hell's angel, complete with flaming skull and chopper that goes through an episode of Extreme Makeover: The Hellfire Edition.

Girl with a Pearl EarringMovie Review - Dec 24, 2003 - By Rachel Jaffe "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is a feast of startling and beautiful images, giving new life to the expression "moving picture." The Girl with the Dragon TattooMovie Review - Jan 1, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart David Fincher is back with another film of crime investigation with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," and while this master director is in fine form, the real star of the film is its titular character thanks to a fantastically disturbing performance from Rooney Mara. Gloomy Sunday - Ein Lied von Liebe und TodMovie Review - Nov 9, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Based on the true story of a song that has become known as The Suicide's Anthem, Gloomy Sunday is finally far from gloomy, and inspires us to wonder. Glory RoadMovie Review - Jan 13, 2006 - By Mark Thal Jerry Bruckenheimer (Producer) and James Gartner (Director) attempt to paint a believable picture of life and times during an ugly era in our nation's history, a time when African Americans were widely treated as second class citizens.

The Golden CompassMovie Review - Dec 8, 2007 - By Doug DeBolt Dazzling effects fail to compensate for a confusing storyline in this adaptation of the controversial Phillip Pullman novel. Gone in Sixty SecondsMovie Review - Aug 4, 2000 - By George Grant Thanks to a free cinema pass in return for some favours (I know what you're thinking), I was able to catch the preview of the new Nicolas Cage romper stomper. Good Boy!Movie Review - Oct 7, 2003 - By Sean Conover When you see a trailer for a movie and it features talking dogs, you can’t help but wonder if the film is worth seeing. Good Boy!Movie Review - Oct 12, 2003 - By R.J. Carter Beyond the one-liners and computer-animation, this old dog doesn't bring moviegoers any new tricks. A Good Day to Die HardMovie Review - Feb 15, 2013 - By Mike George It’s time for John McClane to retire. A Good Day to Die HardMovie Review - Feb 17, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart It's not a good day at all... Good Night, and Good Luck.Movie Review - Oct 17, 2005 - By Rachel Jaffe George Clooney creates a transcendent movie about courage and conscience that, while set in the '50s, is as timely as today's blogs. GothikaMovie Review - Nov 20, 2003 - By Alex Keen In the tradition of "The Others" and "The Ring", "Gothika" tries to scare the bejesus out of theatergoers with creepy walks, shrieking sounds, and an awful musical score. The Great GatsbyMovie Review - May 11, 2013 - By Nicole Crites If you are looking for a true period film, this is not it. The Green Hornet (2011)Movie Review - Jan 15, 2011 - By Chris Delloiacono Is it worth it to feel the Hornet's Sting?

Green LanternMovie Review - Jun 21, 2011 - By Chris Delloiacono Stars and the director deserve not nearly the blame of the producers. The GreyMovie Review - Jan 29, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Joe Carnahan's "The Grey" is a pretty effective survival thriller that could've used a little tightening up. Grizzly ManMovie Review - Aug 15, 2005 - By Jonathan Baylis Werner Herzog is the most interesting filmmaker ever and therefore, one of the greatest directors of all time. In "Grizzly Man" he brings us the true story of Tim Treadwell, a man who refused to accept the conflict between man and nature. HairsprayMovie Review - Jul 22, 2007 - By R.J. Carter Adam Shankman's music-filled remake is full of style, volume and bounce!

HannibalMovie Review - Feb 9, 2001 - By Chad Maddux The silence has been shattered. Hansel & Gretel: Witch HuntersMovie Review - Jan 27, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" offers up a bloody, over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek twist to the classic fairy tale and it certainly appealed to me. The HappeningMovie Review - Jun 16, 2008 - By Scott Juba M. Night Shyamalan has created several spellbinding films during the course of his career. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1Movie Review - Nov 18, 2010 - By Carrie Bradshaw This movie rekindles all the emotions and inspirations of the first movie. If you consider yourself a fan, it will further your devotion to the saga. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2Movie Review - Jul 15, 2011 - By Paulette Suhr The epic saga of 'The Boy Who Lived' finishes with a movie that is both visually stunning and emotionally cathartic.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood PrinceMovie Review - Jul 15, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr Another brilliant installment in the Harry Potter saga reduces viewers to fits of laughter...and a few tears.

Harry Potter and the Order of the PhoenixMovie Review - Jul 11, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Harry Potter starts out his latest adventure with legal problems, and it only gets worse for he and his friends.

Hating BreitbartMovie Review - May 12, 2013 - By R.J. Carter "Hating Breitbart" captures a little of this essence, and not only keeps his spirit alive a little longer, it provides video evidence of something many who were only obliquely aware of Breitbart's activities wouldn't otherwise see: vindication of righteous indignation. HaywireMovie Review - Jan 22, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Gina Carano is a knockout in more ways than one. HaywireMovie Review - Jan 22, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Director Steven Soderbergh's foray into a pure action film is a big winner and Gina Carano is a new star to keep your eye on. HeightsMovie Review - Jun 15, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Another winner from the creative team at Merchant Ivory, this film is a departure from the usual for them, and a welcome one at that. HellboyMovie Review - Apr 1, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Can there be a hero from Hell? That question is answered in this new film based on the comic book. Hellboy II: The Golden ArmyMovie Review - Jul 11, 2008 - By Jim Pappas This thrilling sequel takes us to some scary dark places and leaves us wanting more in the end. Henry Poole is HereMovie Review - Aug 14, 2008 - By Robert Bell Henry Poole is a film that boils down human complexity to the basic anxieties that create conflict and has the balls to answer the question "Why?" with "Why not?" Hey Arnold! The MovieMovie Review - Jul 2, 2002 - By Sean Conover If you are a die-hard fan of the Nickelodeon television show "Hey Arnold!" you will enjoy this feature-length film. If you enjoy the show, but don't feel the need to pay to see a 90-minute episode, you can wait a few months for it to be broadcast. HidalgoMovie Review - Feb 8, 2004 - By Rachel Jaffe It's not surprising that "Hidalgo," Viggo Mortensen's new movie, isn't better than his previous vehicle, "Lord of the Rings." What's surprising is how much worse it is. High CrimesMovie Review - Apr 6, 2002 - By Jim Pappas In High Crimes, a new dramatic thriller teaming Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman, we have a movie that plays as both a courtroom drama and a detective story, albeit weakly. The Hills Have EyesMovie Review - Mar 10, 2006 - By Scott Juba Think you've had some bad family vacations? Your horror stories will seem like fairytales after you see what happens to the Carter family in this remake of Wes Craven's classic horror film. HitchcockMovie Review - Dec 9, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Hitchcock" is at its best when it's telling you the story behind the making of "Psycho" and less so when it's dealing with the relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma Reville. The Hobbit: An Unexpected JourneyMovie Review - Dec 16, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Well, it's not that unexpected--it was inevitable after the success of "The Lord of The Rings" trilogy. The Hobbit: An Unexpected JourneyMovie Review - Dec 16, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Director Peter Jackson once again returns to the world of Middle-Earth for another epic adventure with "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and it's one very fun ride and one terrific performance from Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins. The Hobbit: An Unexpected JourneyMovie Review - Jan 10, 2013 - By Eric Deters The Hobbit doesn't quite reach the height of the Lord of the Rings films Hollow ManMovie Review - Aug 3, 2000 - By Jamie Ruccio Just a little review I slapped together... not my best but I went to the screening and thought the least I could do was write down something thoughts. Hollywood DreamsMovie Review - May 18, 2007 - By R.J. Carter Actors in search of a script and a director form the ensemble core of this insomnia curing flick from Henry Jaglom. Hollywood EndingMovie Review - May 11, 2002 - By Jim Pappas “Hollywood Ending” is a movie about the business of making movies. There have been a lot of those, but this one is by Woody Allen. Hollywood HomicideMovie Review - Jun 8, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Harrison Ford stars in this mindless bit of summer fun that tries to be sometimes a parody and sometimes an action film. The Hot ChickMovie Review - Dec 9, 2002 - By Amanda Jones Under the cover of her pseudonym, Amanda Jones admits that she actively liked a raunchy Rob Schneider film. What's the world coming to? Hotel RwandaMovie Review - Dec 27, 2004 - By Rachel Jaffe "Hotel Rwanda" provides a touching story of courage ... and tough questions for today. The House BunnyMovie Review - Aug 24, 2008 - By Robert Bell "The House Bunny" is "Legally Blonde"’s slightly retarded and far more profane cousin who would likely get drunk at a kegger, show everyone her famous ping-pong ball trick and cry about it the next day. It’s kind of amusing in its own embarrassing way but lacks any real meaning or sense of self. House of 1000 CorpsesMovie Review - Apr 18, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Billed as "the most shocking tale of carnage ever seen" "House of 1000 Corpses" doesn't live up to that billing but director Rob Zombie does show some promise as a filmaker. How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your AssMovie Review - Apr 24, 2004 - By Jim Pappas An important statement about filmmaking, this movie is entertaining as well as enlightening. How To Lose a Guy in 10 DaysMovie Review - Jan 25, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey star in this funny and light-hearted romantic comedy whose release in proximity to Valentine's Day is probably perfect timing. How to Train Your DragonMovie Review - Mar 28, 2010 - By Paulette Suhr We fear that which we don't understand, and also that which burns our houses and carries off all our sheep. HugoMovie Review - Dec 12, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Simply put, Martin Scorsese's "Hugo" is the best movie I've seen all year. HulkMovie Review - Jun 18, 2003 - By Jim Van Nest A friend hooked me up with a pass to see a preview of Ang Lee's "Hulk." I haven't been too pleased with the trailers or TV commercials so I'm wondering if this guy's really a friend. The Hunger GamesMovie Review - Mar 25, 2012 - By Eric Deters Gary Ross' adaptation of the young adult novel by Suzanne Collins of the same name is one of the most truthful adaptations of a novel I've ever seen. The Hunger GamesMovie Review - Mar 25, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart And now... the opposing point of view! Sorry folks, I'm not a fan. The HuntedMovie Review - Mar 15, 2003 - By Jim Pappas The thrill of the chase is the only thrill in this forgettable movie from Paramount Hyde Park on HudsonMovie Review - Dec 16, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter While not the best presidential biopic of the year, it's worth seeing just for Bill Murray. I Am LegendMovie Review - Dec 16, 2007 - By Scott Juba "I Am Legend" won't go down as a legendary motion picture, but it should have a stronger resonance with audiences than most films in this genre. I Am LegendMovie Review - Dec 15, 2007 - By Max Braden Will Smith stars as the sole survivor of a plague that has wiped out humanity. Stranded in New York, he evades creatures of the night while searching for a cure. From Richard Matheson's novel, this sci-fi actioner will have you jumping out of your seat. I Am Trying To Break Your HeartMovie Review - Sep 12, 2002 - By Frances Anne Banner Frances Anne Banner goes to a documentary and documents sloppy filmmaking, transcendent music, and her own life trajectory seen through the filter of college radio. Pick up the change right here. I Heart HuckabeesMovie Review - Oct 3, 2004 - By Jim Pappas A philosophical and esoteric film satire that mocks certain American institutions, this film fails to be more than the sum of its parts. I SpyMovie Review - Nov 3, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson are the best things present in this mostly forgettable new based-on-TV series film from Sony/Columbia. I'll Sleep When I'm DeadMovie Review - Jul 15, 2004 - By Max Braden "The Croupier" collaborators Clive Owen and director Mike Hodges deliver a revenge thriller that doesn't thrill but does disappoint. In selected cities since June. I, RobotMovie Review - Jul 15, 2004 - By Scott Juba With a cool concept, a well plotted story, spot on casting, slick direction, marvelous CGI effects, and expertly envisioned set production, "I, Robot" delivers everything that can be expected from a high budget summer blockbuster. Ice AgeMovie Review - Feb 5, 2002 - By Tate Dersh Ice Age is a stereotypical kid movie formula... on ice! You grew up watching kid flicks. You knew who the good and bad guys were. And by now, you know the formula. A cast of cuddly, yet awkward, characters overcome personal obstacles, and plenty of bad guys, to eventually save the day. Ice Age: Continental DriftMovie Review - Jul 15, 2012 - By Dennis Russo "Ice Age: Continental Drift" is an Earth shaking adventure. IdentityMovie Review - Apr 26, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Although not for everyone, "Identity" does manage to spin a web of intrigue that ultimately lures the viewer into it's trap The Illusionist (L'Illusionniste)Movie Review - Feb 20, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart I'm late to the party for "The Illusionist," one of the nominated Best Animated Feature Films for 2010, but better late than never... don't miss this. The Imaginarium of Doctor ParnassusMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell With characters on the fray of society, free from social order, surrounded by dilapidated buildings and other forms of urban decay, "Imaginarium" is undoubtedly a Terry Gilliam film. ImmortalsMovie Review - Nov 13, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter Mickey Rourke brings cool menace to the bad guy role, and Tarsem Singh avoids cloning "300" and "Clash of the Titans." ImmortalsMovie Review - Nov 13, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Immortals" is spectacular fun with director Tarsem Singh's visual sense being the real star of the show. In AmericaMovie Review - Jan 11, 2004 - By Jim Pappas All of us experience tragedy in life, it is how to cope with that and grow out of it that is explored with this film. In BrugesMovie Review - Feb 10, 2008 - By Max Braden Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson star as hit men in a comedy about honor among thieves, with Ralph Fiennes. Limited release Feb. 8. In the BedroomMovie Review - Jan 11, 2002 - By Adam Martignetti If there were an Academy Award category for understatement, then "In the Bedroom" would be a shoe-in winner. So subtle is director Todd Field's tale of a small town Maine family that emotions, scenes and, indeed, entire subplots pass without dialogue to enhance them. In the Mood for LoveMovie Review - Oct 17, 2000 - By Kenneth Leung Wow! Two reviews from se7en in one day! That has got to be a first. In the Valley of ElahMovie Review - Sep 15, 2007 - By Ted Porter Based on actual events, this somber mystery-drama from "Crash" director Paul Haggis uses the search for a missing soldier just home from Iraq to delve into the damaged psyche of a country at war. The In-LawsMovie Review - May 11, 2003 - By Jim Pappas This 2003 version of the 1979 comedy of the same name can best be described in one word: "Innocuous." InceptionMovie Review - Jul 18, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Christopher Nolan is back with his much anticipated new movie, Inception. He's brought his pads and cleats and he's ready to play. Get ready to be knocked for a loop! The Incredible Burt WonderstoneMovie Review - Mar 17, 2013 - By Dee Dee Walsh Will Burt and Anton reunite? Can they get back on top in Vegas or does Steve Gray's guerilla "magic" win the day? The problem is that I didn't care. The Incredible HulkMovie Review - Jun 17, 2008 - By Jeff Ritter Hulk smash puny expectations! The IncrediblesMovie Review - Oct 30, 2004 - By Jim Pappas You are a superhero. You are forced into retirement by an ungrateful public. What do you do? Find out in this amazing computer animated film from our friends at Pixar. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal SkullMovie Review - May 20, 2008 - By Jim Pappas He's baaack . . . and we're all invited to join the ride to solve the mystery of the crystal skull in this exciting new film. The Informant!Movie Review - Sep 18, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter Matt Damon delivers in a clever comedy based on a true story, but like the man it's based on, it might be too smart for its own good. Inside Deep ThroatMovie Review - Feb 13, 2005 - By Beth Gottfried A documentary based on the highest grossing film ever to be made is a profound disappointment. InsomniaMovie Review - May 2, 2002 - By Alex Keen Al Pacino and Robin WIlliams face off in a thriller from the director of "Memento." The two Oscar winners take off their gloves and fight bare knuckles in this well crafted film. InsomniaMovie Review - May 25, 2002 - By Jim Pappas “Insomnia” is not the murder mystery story I was expecting. It is all about a cop, a famous “hero” cop, who had stepped over the line, and how he wrestles with his growing awareness of that act of weakness within himself. The InternationalMovie Review - Feb 18, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter The globe-trotting cure for insomnia is now playing in theaters. Bring a pillow. The InterpreterMovie Review - Apr 22, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Can the United Nations actually do something to help the people suffering in Africa? This new film from Universal tries to say that it can. InterviewMovie Review - Jul 10, 2007 - By Jim Pappas A movie star and a reporter share an intimate evening, and what happens between them is depicted in this uneven remake of a Dutch film. Intolerable CrueltyMovie Review - Oct 8, 2003 - By Sean Conover As is common in most the Coen Brother's films, the films characteristics are grossly overplayed to maximize silliness. The InvasionMovie Review - Aug 17, 2007 - By Scott Juba Despite reports of a troubled production, "The Invasion" is far from awful. Unfortunately, it isn't exactly a gem either. Les Invasions barbares (The Barbarian Invasions)Movie Review - Nov 25, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Challenging and intellectual, this film asks us to question many things, and answers a few of them along the way. IrisMovie Review - Feb 8, 2002 - By Alex Keen As per Miramax tradition, a late blooming Oscar Contender is on the rise. Sit back and relax as Alex discusses the positives and negatives of a well cast, but poorly executed bio-pic. Iron Man 2Movie Review - May 9, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter Is it better than the original? Probably not, but it acknowledges the source material and is a lot of fun -- what more could you ask for from a superhero flick? Iron Man 2Movie Review - May 9, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Marvel's second movie with Iron Man may not have the impact of the first, but it's still a lot of fun and helps add to the big picture that Marvel's building with their films. Iron Man 3Movie Review - May 5, 2013 - By Jeff Ritter The third time lacks the charm, but Marvel fanatics will still enjoy. Iron Man 3Movie Review - May 5, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Iron Man 3" has the unenviable task of being the first movie out of the gate for Marvel in the wake of "The Avengers" and unfortunately, it doesn't live up to the task. It's certainly watchable, but it does have problems... Iron Man 3Movie Review - May 6, 2013 - By Raul Burriel A supporting role from an Oscar winning actor elevates "Iron Man 3" beyond standard popcorn fare. The IslandMovie Review - Jul 22, 2005 - By Scott Juba Combining pulse-pounding action with an intelligent script, "The Island" is a paradise for moviegoers. The Italian JobMovie Review - Apr 18, 2003 - By Brian Bunton Summer movies are quite formulaic, and "The Italian Job" is no different. Take a handful of A-minus-list actors, throw in some explosions and a weak love story, and voila!—box office success. J. EdgarMovie Review - Nov 21, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Clint Eastwood's character study of J. Edgar Hoover has it's flaws but it's saved by one terrific performance from Leonardo DiCaprio. Jack ReacherMovie Review - Dec 23, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart There's a great idea for a movie in "Jack Reacher," and it looks great on a technical level. But this Tom Cruise vehicle doesn't quite drive as smoothly as it should. Jack the Giant SlayerMovie Review - Mar 2, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart Director Bryan Singer's take on the classic "Jack and the Beanstalk" is simple, but big absurdist fun. Jack the Giant SlayerMovie Review - Mar 3, 2013 - By Jeff Ritter Superhero helmsman Bryan Singer brings the story of the world's most famous beanstalk to the big screen. Jackass 3DMovie Review - Oct 18, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the rest of the gang are back for a new series of stupidity -- and much to James Cameron's chagrin, it's in 3D. JarheadMovie Review - Nov 4, 2005 - By Jim Pappas May God have mercy on us all. Jay and Silent Bob Strike BackMovie Review - Jul 27, 2001 - By Jim Van Nest A gay Star Wars wedding, an orangutan, Morris Day and the Time, a nun and a jewel heist. Only in the mind of Kevin Smith could these ingredients actually become a movie. And a darn funny one, at that. Jay and Silent Bob Strike BackMovie Review - Aug 22, 2001 - By Jamie Ruccio There are occasionally directors who are privileged enough to create one or perhaps a series of movies that resonate with a particular group of people at a certain time in their collective lives. John Hughes is best known for crafting several movies, that for anyone who was a teenager in the 80s, perfectly captured the wacky nature of growing up at that time. In some sense Kevin Smith picked up where Hughes left off when he made "Clerks". Jeepers Creepers IIMovie Review - Aug 27, 2003 - By Sean Conover Instead of invoking “the scary creature from hell,” the film instead invokes thoughts of “what the hell were they thinking?” John CarterMovie Review - Mar 7, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter The movie might have stood on its own if Disney hadn't tried to compare it the "Star Wars" franchise. John CarterMovie Review - Mar 23, 2012 - By Eric Deters Edgar Rice Burroughs' nearly 100 year-old sci-fi novel comes to the big screen for what is certainly not the first time, but is this adaptation better than the rest? Johnny EnglishMovie Review - Apr 17, 2003 - By Kenneth Leung If any common Joe Bloggs ever becomes a secret agent, this hilarious film would epitomise how incompetent he would be at the job. Jonah HexMovie Review - Jun 20, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Jonah Hex wants to rush you right into the action, but does little else to get you invested in it. Josie and the PussycatsMovie Review - Apr 19, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Don't be fooled by the trailer and the trash talk. This movie is a breath of fresh air in the near stagnant comedy genre right now. Journey to the Center of the EarthMovie Review - Jul 10, 2008 - By Jim Pappas Visually arresting but emotionally barren, this 3-D version of the Jules Verne classic novel is strictly for children, and the child within us. JumperMovie Review - Feb 14, 2008 - By Jim Pappas If you could magically whisk yourself from place to place anywhere on the earth, what would you choose to do? See what some of the possibilities are in this new fantasy film. JunoMovie Review - Jan 9, 2008 - By Max Braden SAG-Nominated Ellen Page stars as a pregnant high schooler (by "Superbad"'s Michael Cera) who decides to be the stork for a childless couple in this very funny comedy from "Thank You For Smoking" director Jason Reitman and first time screenwriter Diablo Cody. JunoMovie Review - Jan 15, 2008 - By Tate Dersh Joo know? There's something I can't quite put my finger on with this film. Just BuriedMovie Review - Oct 3, 2008 - By Robert Bell As a film that is humble in aspirations, yet consistently engaging despite an air of predictability, "Just Buried" succeeds enough to warrant some lukewarm, but mostly positive attention. Just MarriedMovie Review - Jan 6, 2003 - By Sean Conover "Just Married," although seemingly marketed as a Comedy Romance, ends up being more of a Romantic Comedy, but even that doesn't feel like a fitting description. Just VisitingMovie Review - Apr 7, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Easy to use, mostly slap-stick comedy for the whole family. A throwback to the pure eighties comedies. K-19: The WidowmakerMovie Review - Jul 12, 2002 - By Alex Keen In a summer with two major political thrillers earning solid box office returns ("The Sum of All Fears" and "The Bourne Identity"), Harrison Ford attempts to be Russian in a sad little submarine movie... Kick-AssMovie Review - Apr 18, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Kick-Ass is stylish and irreverent fun, though I've got a couple of little problems with it. Kill Bill: Vol. 2Movie Review - Apr 18, 2004 - By Jim Pappas The follow up to Vol. 1, this 2nd film of the series is paced more slowly than the first, and answers most of our questions. Killer EliteMovie Review - Sep 25, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Killer Elite" is a fun action film from first time feature director Gary McKendry. For Jason Statham fans, "Killer Elite" has more in common with "The Bank Job" than with "Crank." Killer JoeMovie Review - Aug 25, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Killer Joe" is harrowing filmmaking at its best with director William Friedkin still at the top of his game and a truly remarkable performance from Matthew McConaughey. Killer MountainMovie Review - Aug 31, 2011 - By Eric Deters A decently acted cast of characters is not enough to rescue this film from lackluster CGI, a dull plot, and predictable plot twists and scares.

KinseyMovie Review - Nov 21, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried Liam Neeson and Laura Linney play a couple who fight to revolutionize attitudes toward human sexuality in the US in the latest Bill Condon creation. Should you run to the theater to see it? My advice: Walk briskly and take time to study the gall wasps first. KinseyMovie Review - Jan 10, 2005 - By Scott Juba There is a scene in the film in which a reporter asks Kinsey if he believes his book will be turned into a motion picture. "I couldn't think of anything more pointless," Kinsey responds. Well said. Kiss of the DragonMovie Review - Jul 8, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth I really can't imagine a martial arts movie getting much worse than this. Even Jet Li's high-style is butchered. Kitt Kittredge: An American GirlMovie Review - Jul 3, 2008 - By Robert Bell A depression era G-rated mystery starring Abigail Breslin that features some guileless didactics with a heartwarming center that is only occasionally contrived. A Knight's TaleMovie Review - May 3, 2001 - By Gabriela Kejner Ledger won't move the stars with this one.

Ladder 49Movie Review - Oct 1, 2004 - By Scott Wyatt If you thought "Ladder 49" is just another "Backdraft", you are wrong. It's better. It's a powerful look at the tight bond of firefighters and the personal struggles they must balance on the job and at home. Ladies in LavenderMovie Review - Jun 7, 2005 - By Max Braden Don't be fooled - Judi Dench and Maggie Smith reading a phone book isn't always worth the price of admission. Lady ChatterleyMovie Review - Jul 16, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Yes, the old standard that made us snicker as children is back on film, and this French version of the D.H. Lawrence novel is truly a piece of cake worth eating. Lady in the WaterMovie Review - Jul 19, 2006 - By Scott Juba There is no doubt that it takes a leap of faith to appreciate this movie, but it's a leap worth taking. The LadykillersMovie Review - Mar 26, 2004 - By Rachel Jaffe Tom Hanks proves he hasn't lost his touch for broad comedy in the latest movie from the Coen brothers.

The Last AirbenderMovie Review - Jul 4, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart After his last three movies, can M. Night Shyamalan get back on the horse? Not if "The Last Airbender" is any indication. The Last Exorcism Part IIMovie Review - Mar 4, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "The Last Exorcism" doesn't really need a Part II, but if you're going to do it, this isn't the way it should be done. The Last ExorcismMovie Review - Aug 29, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart This low-budget horror film treads on familiar territory with it's fake documentary style but still manages to deliver a nice twist to its end and some terrific performances from its cast. Last RideMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell For the first half-hour, "Last Ride" feels like yet another bland, intentionally slow and generically “thoughtful” piece about abusive fathers and cyclic patterns of behaviour. The Last SamuraiMovie Review - Dec 3, 2003 - By Rachel Jaffe "The Last Samurai" is an epic film, with battles and drama and excitement. But at its core, it's an intensely personal story, and it's the tension of those competing aspects that makes it so compelling. The Last StandMovie Review - Jan 20, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "The Last Stand" marks Arnold Schwarzenegger's return to a lead in a film after 10 years away governating, and it's a lot of fun as long as you don't think too much about it.

Law Abiding CitizenMovie Review - Oct 14, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter This suspense vehicle for Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler tries and fails to be smarter than it really is. LawlessMovie Review - Sep 13, 2012 - By Eric Deters Lawless has some flaws, but stellar performances make it worth a look. Layer CakeMovie Review - Apr 9, 2005 - By Jim Pappas To get out from under your own life is very difficult to accomplish, and that is aptly demonstrated by this crime drama from England. Layer CakeMovie Review - Jun 7, 2005 - By Max Braden Be sure to catch this smart British crime movie, starring Daniel Craig, from J.J. Connolly's novel. The League of Extraordinary GentlemenMovie Review - Jul 10, 2003 - By Sean Conover I had never heard of the series "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" prior the movie, so going into the film I was totally unaware of the characters and their backgrounds (with the exception of the help of Howard Price's preview here at The Trades).

Legally BlondeMovie Review - Jul 25, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth So, like, not only did I go blond, like the trailers suggest, but I got this totally awesome movie out of it. Not to mention so many great make-up and hair styling tips! The Legend of Bagger VanceMovie Review - Oct 24, 2000 - By Alex Keen I really did not enjoy this movie much at all. I just hope it's not a sign that Robert Redford is getting old. More details inside!

Let the Right One InMovie Review - Oct 23, 2008 - By Robert Bell A balance of cultural and commercial, along with a truly impressive overall aesthetic, and a fresh take on both the tired vampire genre and isolation anxieties, make "Let the Right One In" one of the most affecting and entertaining films in quite some time.

The Lion King 3DMovie Review - Sep 16, 2011 - By Eric Deters The king returns in Disney's revitalization of their 1994 classic with 3D that is in an echelon above most other films. Little Miss SunshineMovie Review - Jul 26, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis Don't believe the hype, folks. "Little Miss Sunshine" is a farcical update of "National Lampoon's Vacation" and not much more. Little Miss SunshineMovie Review - Jul 26, 2006 - By Max Braden One of the funniest movies you'll see all year is in limited release but worth seeking out. LockoutMovie Review - Apr 16, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Unfortunately, "Lockout" is pretty pedestrian as an action film, but does have some fun thanks to lead actor Guy Pearce.

The LosersMovie Review - Apr 25, 2010 - By Paulette Suhr With losers like these, who needs winners? The LosersMovie Review - Apr 25, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Featuring a very good cast and some cool action, "The Losers" is a big winner for me. Lost and DeliriousMovie Review - Jul 13, 2001 - By Alex Keen An independant spirit is a wonderful thing only when added to an engaging story. "Lost and Delirious" falls short, but is still a quite interesting film. Lost in TranslationMovie Review - Sep 23, 2003 - By Beth Gottfried In "Lost in Translation," Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson prove a formidable duo evocative of Hollywood’s yesteryear, the likes of Bogie & Bacall with a twist of Keaton, and a variation on a theme of Tokyo. The Lost Skeleton of CadavraMovie Review - Feb 8, 2004 - By Jim Pappas High camp is a rarity in today's movie making circles, so this film serves as a love letter to a bygone era. Lourdes [@ 2010 Wisconsin Film Festival]Movie Review - Apr 15, 2010 - By Paul Schultz This French-language drama explores the question of why one person receives a miracle and not another in this secular take on the mystical shrine. Love ActuallyMovie Review - Oct 31, 2003 - By Sean Conover "Love Actually" dives into practically every angle you can take regarding that little thing we call “love,” and it succeeds in pulling us along for the emotional ride. L' Affaire FarewellMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell Set in the early 1980’s within a French compound in Moscow, "L’Affaire Farewell" deftly replicates not only the political and social climate of the cold war era, but also the filmmaking sensibilities of past espionage thrillers. MacheteMovie Review - Sep 5, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter Danny Trejo finally gets a chance to take center stage and doesn't disappoint. MacheteMovie Review - Sep 5, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Grindhouse lives!! Danny Trejo cuts up the bad guys, Jeff Fahey and Steven Seagal leave no scenery standing and Michelle Rodriguez gets the knockout punch in "Machete." Mad Hot BallroomMovie Review - Aug 1, 2005 - By Beth Gottfried The film offers an uplifting look at urban life, but fails to provide much substance beyond that. MadeMovie Review - Jun 29, 2001 - By Alex Keen The "Swingers" duo reunites with Sean Combs and Famke Janssen added to the mix. Fanboys do not fear, your wishes have not fallen on deaf ears. Mail Order WifeMovie Review - Feb 21, 2005 - By R.J. Carter This comedic "mockumentary" is short on laughs and long on "drawn out." Make BelieveMovie Review - Jun 16, 2011 - By R.J. Carter Six amazing teens compete for the title of Teen World Champion... of Magic! Mamma Mia!Movie Review - Jul 16, 2008 - By Robert Bell As a straightforward and guileless adaptation of the hit musical, Mamma Mia! mostly succeeds, despite the fact that it is essentially two-hours of celebrity ABBA karaoke with only a little vocal talent.

Man in the ChairMovie Review - Nov 22, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Do you want to be a film director? Cameron Kincaid does, and this movie tells us exactly how he goes about it. Man of the YearMovie Review - Oct 13, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis When I think of Barry Levinson, I like to remember "Diner" and "Rain Man". Throw Robin Williams into the mix and you get "Good Morning, Vietnam". But... you also get "Toys". Aiming a little bit more towards "Wag the Dog", Levinson and Williams go unto the breach once more. Do they succeed? Man On FireMovie Review - Apr 20, 2004 - By Scott Juba Amidst the recent slew of stale, recycled genre films that have been released in recent weeks, "Man On Fire" stands out as a bold, unflinching portrait of violence, love, betrayal, and greed set against the blazing backdrop of Mexico City. The Man Who Wasn't ThereMovie Review - Sep 29, 2001 - By Alex Keen An interesting film and concept fall flat due to weak characters, and an unlikely protagonist. The Manchurian CandidateMovie Review - Jul 28, 2004 - By Scott Juba While the individual pieces of "The Manchurian Candidate" are excellent, the sum of these parts is simply mediocre. March of the PenguinsMovie Review - Jul 14, 2005 - By Max Braden This excellent documentary about the mating ritual of emperor penguins in remote Antarctica is fun and poignant, the perfect family or date movie this summer.

Marie AntoinetteMovie Review - Oct 19, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis The French hated this movie at the Cannes Film Festival. I couldn't think of a better reason to get me to see it. Vive le Coppola! Marley & MeMovie Review - Dec 24, 2008 - By Robert Bell More amusing than the marketing of an ideological tragedy as a comedy is the idea that "Marley & Me" is only about a dog becoming part of a family, for the film is not really about the dog at all. Marvel's The AvengersMovie Review - May 4, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter The most fun I've had at a movie since I was a kid. Marvel's The AvengersMovie Review - May 6, 2012 - By Dennis Russo The Avengers is simply a Marvel to behold!

The MasterMovie Review - Sep 28, 2012 - By Eric Deters Joaquin Phoenix delivers one hell of a performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's latest, "The Master." The MatadorMovie Review - Nov 16, 2005 - By Glen Levy Things to do in Denver when you're (nearly) dead: The Matador is an unusually intelligent piece of work, adept at combining comedy with moments of real pathos. Match PointMovie Review - Jan 6, 2006 - By Max Braden Woody Allen's story about tragic obsessive passion is unlike anything he's done in years, and better for it. Limited release Jan. 6.

The Matrix ReloadedMovie Review - May 21, 2003 - By Brian Bunton "The Matrix Reloaded" was arguably the most anticipated movie of the summer of 2003, and expectations were very high. Were those expectations met? The Matrix RevolutionsMovie Review - Nov 5, 2003 - By Sean Conover Every beginning has an end, and thanks to the Wachowski Brothers, "The Matrix" has a fitting final chapter. Max ManusMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell "Max Manus", about the eponymous, and widely known, Norwegian resistance fighter, is a mixed bag, capturing the awkwardness of inexperienced fighters and an appropriate sense of humour, but never feeling entirely cohesive as a film. Mean GirlsMovie Review - May 4, 2004 - By Rachel Jaffe Tween Queen Lindsay Lohan and sardonic Saturday Night Live writer Tina Fey combine their talents in an eclectic and wickedly funny take on teen-age life. The MechanicMovie Review - Jan 30, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "The Mechanic" is a solid and entertaining action movie from director Simon West and stars Jason Statham and Ben Foster. The MedallionMovie Review - Aug 23, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Jackie Chan finds love and super powers in his latest film.

The Men Who Stare At GoatsMovie Review - Nov 6, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Jeff Bridges triumph in this smart, laugh-out-loud comedy. Surprisingly, the goats win too. Metallica: Some Kind of MonsterMovie Review - Jul 9, 2004 - By Jim Pappas A surprisingly honest portrayal, this film opens doors that have always been closed to the public. The MexicanMovie Review - Mar 5, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Not the pair piece most expect, "The Mexican" actually favors Brat Pitt rather than Oscar hopeful Julia Roberts. Miami ViceMovie Review - Aug 1, 2006 - By Ted Porter For those of a certain age who may remember the 1980s TV series with a slightly guilty sense of nostalgia, this "Miami Vice" will be both an enjoyable homage to and a welcome departure from its small-screen counterpart.

Mona Lisa SmileMovie Review - Dec 28, 2003 - By Beth Gottfried Julia teaches some personal "Stile" to her pupils, including the impressive Ms. Stiles. Newcomer Ginnifer Goodwin shines as the token “homely” chic and Kirsten Dunst is wonderfully complex in a film directed by the man who made us all fall in love with “Harry Potter.” Unfortunately “Mona Lisa Smile” leaves us all pondering why love is never as sweet the second time around. MoneyballMovie Review - Sep 25, 2011 - By Eric Deters Moneyball is a homerun due to its fantastic script and excellent performances, regardless of your opinions on sports.

Mr. BrooksMovie Review - Jun 1, 2007 - By Max Braden Kevin Costner plays a schizophrenic serial killer who is forced to take on an apprentice (Dane Cook) while evading the police (Demi Moore) and tending to his family. William Hurt plays Costner's alter ego in this darkly funny thriller. Mr. DeedsMovie Review - Jun 21, 2002 - By Alex Keen Adam Sandler's follow up to "Little Nicky," is a humorous movie but nothing new. It takes all of the conventions established in previous Sandler flicks, and revisits them. Click on the link to read more inside. Mr. WoodcockMovie Review - Sep 14, 2007 - By Scott Juba While it certainly won't be the most memorable comedy you'll ever see, it at least proves that the title isn't the only thing that's funny about this movie.

In selected cities since June 11. NarcMovie Review - Dec 16, 2002 - By Alex Keen A powerful drama sure to generate Oscar Buzz for star Ray Liotta. NarcMovie Review - Jan 9, 2003 - By Sean Conover Joe Carnahan’s “Narc” breaks the stereotypical focus of the cop drama by instead focusing on the emotional pressures forced upon undercover narcotic agents.

The Nativity StoryMovie Review - Dec 8, 2006 - By Paul Schultz Remind yourself of the reason for the season with the events leading up to the birth of Jesus in this well-made film aiming to flesh out the lives of His parents -- particularly Joseph. New In TownMovie Review - Jan 30, 2009 - By Max Braden Renee Zellweger stars as a big city corporate suit sent to shut down Harry Connick Jr.'s Minnesota factory in this romantic comedy. Not everything in theaters can be an award contender, so this one settles for being pleasant.

Nine LivesMovie Review - Oct 8, 2005 - By Chad Maddux Nine separate tales with nine separate lives played by nine incredible actresses all rolled up into one mediocre film. Nitro Circus: The Movie 3DMovie Review - Aug 13, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart If you were a fan of the Nitro Circus TV show, then you'll have a great time with "Nitro Circus: The Movie 3D" -- and the 3D does make the difference. No End in SightMovie Review - Jul 28, 2007 - By Paul Schultz If this documentary is to be believed, the Bush administration couldn't have screwed up their post-war activities in Iraq any worse.

No End in SightMovie Review - Jul 27, 2007 - By Jim Pappas There have been many mistakes made by the current administration in Washington regarding the American invasion and occupation of Iraq. This new documentary film looks at the biggest mistakes we made in the early days of the war, and who is to blame for those decisions. Not Another Teen MovieMovie Review - Dec 17, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Critics mostly hate this spoof of the teen movie genre. Ironic considering they tended to hate the originals too.

The Number 23Movie Review - Feb 23, 2007 - By Scott Juba "The Number 23" adds up to little more than a mediocre moviegoing experience. Nurse BettyMovie Review - Sep 25, 2000 - By Raul Burriel The first thing you have to understand about "Nurse Betty" is that it's no comedy. Many have described the film as a tale of obsession and celebrity, and that's exactly what it is, but not in the way you think. OMovie Review - Aug 15, 2001 - By Alex Keen Stars from "State and Main," "Apocalypse Now," and "The Virgin Suicides" team up in Tim Blake Nelson's version of "Othello." O Brother, Where Art Thou?Movie Review - Jan 7, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Extremely funny and witty, Homer's "Odyssey" has never been easier to watch. OblivionMovie Review - Apr 24, 2013 - By Eric Deters "Oblivion" doesn't do a lot of things that we haven't seen before, but what it does it pulls off quite well. Ocean's TwelveMovie Review - Dec 8, 2004 - By Max Braden The entire original cast (Clooney, Pitt, Damon, Roberts) are back to dodge detective Catherine Zeta-Jones and some new master thieves. Too bad this sequel doesn't quite hit the jackpot. In theaters Dec. 10. Ocean's ThirteenMovie Review - Jun 8, 2007 - By Max Braden The larcenous crew that always has every base covered returns to Vegas for a third heist, this time with Al Pacino and Ellen Barkin as the marks. As with Ocean's Eleven and Twelve, "Ocean's Thirteen" is about style over substance. In a summer of just-okay trequels, is this the one to deliver on your ticket price? Old SchoolMovie Review - Feb 8, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Another in a long line of college life related gross-out comedies, "Old School" misses its mark, by a long ways. OldboyMovie Review - Mar 23, 2005 - By Max Braden Winner of last year's Cannes Grand Jury Prize, this Korean thriller is one of the best written and acted movies of the year. In select cities 3/25/05. One Day in SeptemberMovie Review - Sep 14, 2000 - By Yael Rose "One Day in September" is a powerful documentary that should not be missed. One Night at McCool'sMovie Review - May 4, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth A hateful, trashy, uninteresting "dark comedy" that features some of the worst acting by some of your most favorite actors. Ong-bakMovie Review - Feb 8, 2005 - By Max Braden Thai martial artist Tony Jaa debuts in a crushing blow to action star pretenders. In selected cities Feb. 11. Open RangeMovie Review - Aug 16, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Gritty and authentic, this film takes an honest and very hard look at the differences between right and wrong, and lets us all know these concepts aren't necessarily as different from each other as we probably like to believe. Open RangeMovie Review - Aug 17, 2003 - By Max Braden Stock up on patience and limit the size of your drink if you go see Kevin Costner's latest western in theaters. Open WaterMovie Review - Aug 20, 2004 - By Scott Juba The only terrifying thing about "Open Water" is that some people will waste eight dollars to see it. Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime ExperienceMovie Review - Apr 13, 2007 - By Paul Schultz This documentary features firsthand accounts of recent combat participants in Iraq and Afghanistan and balances the fine line between being pro-war and anti-war, choosing to let our own sense of shock and awe formulate through the consumption of their stories. Oprah Winfrey Presents: Mitch Albom's For One More DayMovie Review - Dec 9, 2007 - By Paul Schultz The winner of this year's unwieldy title offers a tale of forgiveness and redemption using an economy of words with a minimum of sentimentality. The OrderMovie Review - Sep 6, 2003 - By Jim Pappas There is more than one way to get into heaven, or so we are led to believe in this new film. Over the HedgeMovie Review - May 19, 2006 - By Scott Wyatt The battle lines are drawn between man and animal when a mischievous raccoon and his new friends are invaded by suburbia. Owning MahownyMovie Review - May 3, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Philip Seymour Hoffman gives us a fine perfomance of a man under the influence of a gambling addiction in this slow moving story that allows us a glimpse into one of the self-destructive sides of human nature. Oz the Great and PowerfulMovie Review - Mar 10, 2013 - By Jeff Ritter Disney's odyssey to the Land of Oz trips miserably down the Yellow Brick Road. Oz the Great and PowerfulMovie Review - Mar 10, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart And now, the opposing point of view... The PacifierMovie Review - Mar 6, 2005 - By Jim Pappas What happens when a tough Navy Seal is given the task of baby-sitting a family whose children have recently lost their father? Find out in this new film from Disney. PaprikaMovie Review - Oct 10, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis Growing up on healthy doses of "Battle of the Planets" and "Robotech" didn't turn me into an obsessive anime fan. But despite this, every once in a while, I'll take a dip into the pool and see what the mizu's like. Paranormal Activity 2Movie Review - Oct 24, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart The highly anticipated sequel to one of last year's big movie success stories is here and it's a good one. Paranormal Activity 3Movie Review - Oct 23, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Paranormal Activity" returns with it's third installment and it's a lot of fun. Paranormal Activity 4Movie Review - Oct 22, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Paranormal Activity 4" certainly continues and builds upon the other films in the series, but the franchise is starting to show some wear. Paris, je t'aimeMovie Review - May 3, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Love, love, love, all you need is . . . PartirMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell Aside from a couple of narrative quirks and an occasional peculiarity in scene brevity, "Partir" is fairly standard exercise in trashy mainstream cinema with a little feminist panache thrown in for good measure. The Passion of the ChristMovie Review - Mar 15, 2004 - By Max Braden Jim Caviezel plays Jesus in Mel Gibson's third directorial production. The PatriotMovie Review - Jun 28, 2000 - By Alex Keen American Revolutionary War will be presented in an amazing way to summer movie goers. Here's why I feel "the Patriot" was more enjoyable than "Gladiator". PaycheckMovie Review - Jan 6, 2004 - By Max Braden Ben Affleck and John Woo don't quite give you your money's worth on this sci-fi action flick. At least if you go, you won't remember wasting your time. Pearl HarborMovie Review - May 23, 2001 - By Sean Conover Top Gun meets Titanic meets Star Wars, and even though each of those movies are magnificent on their own accord, they are not quite as potent when mixed. Pearl HarborMovie Review - May 28, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth There is enough of "Pearl Harbor" that is worth watching on the big screen to justify ignoring most critics whining about the sappy love story. Perfect StrangerMovie Review - Apr 16, 2007 - By Ted Porter If on first seeing the preview you thought this movie looked like a mediocre but passable suspense flick that basically exists as a vehicle for Halle Berry, you were right on the money. The Perks of Being a WallflowerMovie Review - Oct 12, 2012 - By Eric Deters Perks of Being a Wallflower manages to transcend its influences and tell a powerful coming-of-age story. The Phantom of the OperaMovie Review - Jan 5, 2005 - By Scott Juba "The Phantom of the Opera" is a soaring spectacle of lush and epic filmmaking in its finest form. Phone BoothMovie Review - Apr 7, 2003 - By Adam Martignetti Joel Schumacher's Hitchcockian vision never waivers. Pineapple ExpressMovie Review - Aug 5, 2008 - By Robert Bell The film - while nothing particularly special - succeeds in making the usually oblique and inaccessible (to those who aren't under the influence) stoner comedy engaging to a wider (read sober) audience. Piranha 3DMovie Review - Aug 22, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Piranha 3D is pure exploitation fun, popping right out at you in glorious 3D. Pirate RadioMovie Review - Nov 13, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter Walk the plank and dive into one of the funniest movies of the year. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's EndMovie Review - May 24, 2007 - By R.J. Carter Drink up, me hearties, yo ho! The pirate trilogy comes to an thrilling, chilling, side-splitting and seat-gripping end. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's ChestMovie Review - Jul 5, 2006 - By R.J. Carter Yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum! Disney's sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" is more fun than the first -- but more frightening as well. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black PearlMovie Review - Jul 8, 2003 - By Sean Conover Since the idea is only based on the ride, and somebody had to eventually make a pirate movie worth seeing since Disney last did it with "Peter Pan," I figured maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I thought. Planet of the ApesMovie Review - Jul 26, 2001 - By Kenneth Leung The movie should have retained its original title, "The Visitor", since it clearly does not deserve the prestigious title of the 1968 cult classic. The Pleasure of Being RobbedMovie Review - Oct 5, 2008 - By Jim Pappas A quirky low budget independent film that examines a segment of the life of a young New York City woman, adrift in a sea of life she doesn't understand.

The Polar ExpressMovie Review - Nov 14, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Do you believe in Santa Claus? No? Come and take a ride aboard this new film and you might find out that there just may be a Santa Claus, after all. Pooh's Heffalump MovieMovie Review - Feb 13, 2005 - By R.J. Carter Winnie-the-Pooh and Roo learn a lesson about unreasoned fear of those who are different than themselves in this charming tale of the A. A. Milne's beloved characters. PoseidonMovie Review - May 15, 2006 - By Paul Schultz Wolfgang Petersen's remake of Irwin Allen's disaster pic "The Poseidon Adventure" is as shallow on character development as it is deep on heart-pounding thrills. The Powerpuff GirlsMovie Review - Jul 6, 2002 - By Sean Conover Cartoon Network's "The Powerpuff Girls Movie" zips into theaters this week with what may be the most famous, and most quoted, MPAA rating to date: "Rated PG for nonstop frenetic animated action". That may also be a one-sentence review of the film if there ever was one. Precious: Based on the Novel Push by SapphireMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell Wildly unfocused, undisciplined and screeching in its oppressive search for a tone while shouting its worldly rages from the rooftops, "Precious" takes the word draining to a new level, offering up horrors aplenty to demand our impossible-to-repress empathy. PredatorsMovie Review - Jul 11, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Producer Robert Rodriguez has been given the keys to the car with the Predator franchise and manages to take us on an awfully fun ride. PremonitionMovie Review - Mar 16, 2007 - By Paul Schultz Be forewarned... "Premonition" wants to be a whacked-out time-travel thriller, yet it's really an exploration of the breakdown of a marriage. Priceless (Hors de Prix)Movie Review - Mar 28, 2008 - By Jonathan Baylis To paraphrase the bard, Audrey Tautou’s character Irène is a golddigger, but she ain’t messin’ with no broke, um, garçon. Pride and GloryMovie Review - Oct 24, 2008 - By Jim Pappas Four NYC cops are killed in an ambush, and we're taken for a bumpy ride as the police hunt the perps in this new crime drama. Priest 3DMovie Review - May 15, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Priest" is a great looking movie with some solid B-movie fun. Whether you see it in 3D or not is entirely up to you. PrimerMovie Review - Oct 9, 2004 - By Jim Pappas What happens when you discover the ability to travel in time may not be what you expect. Find out in this new film what might happen to you if you do manage to make time your plaything. Prince of Persia: The Sands of TimeMovie Review - May 30, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the latest video game to make it to the big screen, and it delivers a pretty fun ride. PrometheusMovie Review - Jun 10, 2012 - By Eric Deters Some stellar performances and Ridley Scott's distinct and brilliant cinematic eye save "Prometheus" from a decent story with a lackluster finale. PrometheusMovie Review - Jun 10, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Ridley Scott's long-awaited "Alien" prequel/re-boot, "Prometheus" is finally here and it's absolutely bound to be polarizing... Proof of LifeMovie Review - Dec 15, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth Plenty of suspence, but the real intrigue is why we can't negotiate for a better movie to pair with the acting talent. The ProposalMovie Review - Jun 15, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr Betty White and breathtaking Alaska scenery are just two of the reasons to go see Sandra Bullock's surprisingly funny new romantic comedy. ProvokedMovie Review - May 18, 2007 - By R.J. Carter When Kiranjit Alhuwalia was imprisoned for the murder of her abusive husband, it was her first step toward freedom. Punch-Drunk LoveMovie Review - Oct 23, 2002 - By Frances Anne Banner Frances Anne Banner actually likes an Adam Sandler film. We won't tell anyone if you won't. Puss In BootsMovie Review - Nov 7, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart One of the best characters of the "Shrek" series gets his own movie. Queen of the DamnedMovie Review - Feb 27, 2002 - By Jonathan Sudduth Provides fans of the Anne Rice series enough of what they want to keep them from becoming ravenous, but has the potiential to leave the rest of the audience dumbstruck with only pretty visuals to keep them entertained. Rabbit-Proof FenceMovie Review - Dec 2, 2002 - By Joel MacRae Get the scoop on the latest import from the Down Under, starring Kenneth Branagh. The Raid: RedemptionMovie Review - Apr 15, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "The Raid: Redemption" features some of the craziest and most intense action scenes that you'll probably see all year -- and man, is it fun! Raising HelenMovie Review - May 7, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried Between some Hell "Raising" and contemplating the profundity of Devo's "Whip It," comes a mediocre movie with a magical cast and marginal plot. If you like Kate Hudson, it's a must see. If not, stay at home and watch the season finale of "Friends" like I should have done. RankMovie Review - Oct 9, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis A couple of weeks ago, I went to see "Jackass 2". I watched these guys risk harm and maybe even their lives doing some of the craziest stunts I'd ever seen. And then someone sent me "Rank". Johnny Knoxville and gang are pussycats compared to the men in this film. Rat RaceMovie Review - Aug 2, 2001 - By Alex Keen $2 million is worth fighting over. But was it worth my gas money to go see? RatatouilleMovie Review - Jul 6, 2007 - By Paul Schultz You'll be saying, "It's rata-cal!" once you've witnessed the sumptuous animated meal Disney Pixar has served up for consumption by family members of all ages. The RavenMovie Review - Apr 29, 2012 - By Dennis Russo All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. The RavenMovie Review - Apr 29, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "The Raven" is a great salute to the work of Edgar Allan Poe and features terrific performances from John Cusack and Luke Evans. RayMovie Review - Nov 3, 2004 - By Scott Juba "Ray" does a respectable job of highlighting Charles' contributions to the music world and to society at large. Real SteelMovie Review - Oct 10, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Real Steel" doesn't quite deliver the knockout punch, but does offer some diversionary fun. Real Women Have CurvesMovie Review - Oct 17, 2002 - By Gabriela Kejner The so-called "Latin Explosion" pervaded the media in the late 90s laid major groundwork for the future face of the media. One major contribution to the film industry is "Real Women Have Curves," directed by Patricia Cardoso. Recess: School's OutMovie Review - Feb 17, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth "Recess" stands tall in the box office playground as the only kid-friendly film around. The RecruitMovie Review - Feb 1, 2003 - By Jim Pappas The Recruit is a mild thriller that just cannot rise above it's own predicatability, despite the efforts of Al Pacino and cast. Red DawnMovie Review - Nov 26, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Red Dawn" is re-made with the North Koreans as the enemy and new young talents as the Wolverines; it's certainly watchable, but not real memorable. Red DragonMovie Review - Oct 2, 2002 - By Jim Van Nest After the trainwreck that was Hannibal, it was with more than a little skepticism that I settled into my stadium seat to enter Hannibal Lecter's world one last time.To say I was pleasantly surprised would be the understatement of the year. Red EyeMovie Review - Aug 19, 2005 - By Scott Wyatt Wes Craven's new film will really make you believe that sometimes bad things happen to good people. Red EyeMovie Review - Aug 19, 2005 - By Max Braden Director Wes Craven's airplane thriller starring Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy doesn't live up to its potential, but at least you won't be a captive audience for long. In theaters Aug. 19. RedactedMovie Review - Nov 15, 2007 - By Jim Pappas We've brought the brutality of war along with us into the 21st Century. And director Brian De Palma tries to make his case in this uneven new film. Reign Of FireMovie Review - Jul 15, 2002 - By Jim Pappas In the future, Dragons battle Humans for control of the earth, with mixed results in this new action/adventure from Touchstone Pictures. The Reluctant FundamentalistMovie Review - May 12, 2013 - By Jeff Ritter Changez is successful, young, in love--what could possibly go wrong? Reno 911!: MiamiMovie Review - Feb 23, 2007 - By Caroline Roberts The full-length movie is exactly like what you see on TV -- only with more of the dirty stuff. Repo MenMovie Review - Mar 21, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart "Repo Men" is a mess and will have you thinking of better films and better directors who could've done something with this. RepriseMovie Review - May 16, 2008 - By Jim Pappas A group of young Norwegians come of age in this less than compelling but well directed feature, from first-timer Joachim Trier. Requiem for a DreamMovie Review - Dec 1, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth "Requiem's" Darren Aronofsky directs his actors and audience to dazzling and dreary highs. Resident Evil: AfterlifeMovie Review - Sep 12, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Milla Jovovich is back for more zombie killing action and this time it comes right at you in some pretty terrific 3D... but this is strictly for fans of the series. Resurrecting The ChampMovie Review - Aug 20, 2007 - By Jim Pappas What happens when a reporter comes upon a homeless man claiming to be a former heavyweight contender, and how it changes the life of an ambitious reporter, is dramatized in this new film from director Rod Lurie. Return to NeverlandMovie Review - Feb 10, 2002 - By Sean Conover A beloved classic is retread as a sequel, and I have to ask: why did this film not go straight-to-video? Revolutionary RoadMovie Review - Dec 26, 2008 - By Robert Bell Throwing into question the necessity and desirability of the culturally dominant norm and its inherently circular and problematic patterns and limitations, "Revolutionary Road" sharply and sagaciously examines the disintegration of a marriage through disparate ideologies that grow broader over time. The Ring TwoMovie Review - Mar 18, 2005 - By Scott Juba While "The Ring Two" never achieves the palpable terror of "The Ring", it is just about as well made as a sequel possibly can be. The RingMovie Review - Oct 13, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Before you die, you'll see "The Ring," if you watch a deadly videotape in this new horror movie from Dreamworks. Rise of the Planet of the ApesMovie Review - Aug 7, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Andy Serkis stands out leading the "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." Road to PerditionMovie Review - Jul 5, 2002 - By Alex Keen Sam Mendes delivers his powerful follow-up to "American Beauty." It is the first serious Oscar Contender of 2002, and should easily outshine the other major gangster project, Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York." Road TripMovie Review - May 19, 2000 - By Jamie Ruccio Help Mel get fired from his job, and read his review of the "Road Trip" sneak preview last night. Robin HoodMovie Review - May 14, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter The star power of Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett is not enough to save what is easily Ridley Scott's worst film. Robin HoodMovie Review - May 16, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Ridley Scott falls way off the mark with this, delivering a self-important mess without any sense of fun. Rock StarMovie Review - Sep 6, 2001 - By Andrea Hazard "Rock Star" is about as subtle as a guitar-smashing solo in a big stadium rock show. RocknRollaMovie Review - Oct 9, 2008 - By Jim Pappas A really cool film that takes you on a wild ride with a bunch of English gangsters, who succeed mostly in getting in each other's way, with sometimes truly comical results. Rocky BalboaMovie Review - Dec 18, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis I've always felt that at its core, the soul of "Rocky" was romance, not boxing. Well, I think Stallone has revived that romance. The Royal TenenbaumsMovie Review - Dec 31, 2001 - By Adam Martignetti Director Wes Anderson must find this world an odd, funny place in which to live. Indeed, he fills his stories with odd, quirky characters: characters so intrinsically funny, unique and/or bizarre that they never evolve beyond their idiosyncrasies. Run Fatboy RunMovie Review - Mar 28, 2008 - By Jim Pappas He's not really fat, he's just out of shape. And he and this film could both use a lot of exercise to move beyond the ordinary. Runaway JuryMovie Review - Oct 6, 2003 - By Sean Conover Grisham has another “Runaway” hit on his hands. The RundownMovie Review - Sep 21, 2003 - By Jim Pappas There are plenty of funny moments in this goofy action film, but since it never aspires to be anything else, it works. Running ScaredMovie Review - Feb 28, 2006 - By Ted Porter This lean, mean thrill machine is not going to be an easy ride, but chances are you're not going to want to get off it. S.W.A.T.Movie Review - Aug 19, 2003 - By Rachel Jaffe It's cool to be a cop these days -- particularly with this many toys and a staunch team to back you up. Safe HouseMovie Review - Feb 13, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter When Denzel is bad, he's great, and Ryan Reynolds continues to surprise. SaltMovie Review - Jul 25, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter Fans of Jason Bourne and Jack Bauer will enjoy this fast-paced spy thriller starring Angelina Jolie. SaltMovie Review - Jul 25, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Director Philip Noyce returns to big-screen action with the highly entertaining "Salt." The Salton SeaMovie Review - Apr 28, 2002 - By Jim Pappas "The Salton Sea" takes the viewer on a circular journey within and around the Southern California methamphetamine subculture. Sammen (Together)Movie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell "Together" has two major things going for it: outstanding performances from both lead actors, and absolutely no hesitation in making its lead character detestable. SanctumMovie Review - Feb 6, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart The basic idea is good and the 3D is pretty nice, but after that, "Sanctum" falls into it's own abyss. The Santa Clause 2Movie Review - Oct 28, 2002 - By Sean Conover Trying to capture that magic again, Allen reprises his role as the jolly BMOTNP (Big Man of the North Pole) in Disney's "The Santa Clause 2." La Santa Nina (The Holy Girl)Movie Review - Apr 30, 2005 - By Jim Pappas This coming of age story about a young girl in Argentina takes forever to tell its story, but an effective story it is. Save the Last DanceMovie Review - Jan 14, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth My boyfriend said, and I quote, "It's better than the cockroach one." I disagreed. Saving FaceMovie Review - Apr 23, 2005 - By Jim Pappas This new film features the love that dares not speak its name, and makes the case that no matter what form love takes it can, and does, conquer all. Saving MarriageMovie Review - Oct 8, 2008 - By Robert Bell As far as documentaries go, it is entirely manipulative and lop-sided and perhaps not as thorough as it could have been, but every moment is engaging and enjoyable. Saving SilvermanMovie Review - Feb 12, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Entertainment Weekly, E! Online, Ebert all agree, they don't understand the appeal of Saving Silverman. Too bad they're missing out. SawMovie Review - Oct 12, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Finally, the best of its kind in many a year, this new film will leave you shaken, not stirred, as you leave the theater. Saw 3DMovie Review - Nov 1, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart The final film in the series is fan-satisfying with its story, but falls short due to its poor 3D. Say It Isn't SoMovie Review - Mar 25, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Nothing to see here but a bunch of talent being wasted, a script needing a Farelly re-write, and a underestimated teenage audience that is unimpressed. Scary MovieMovie Review - Sep 9, 2000 - By George Grant Well, it's the morning after the preview of Scary Movie. What did I think of it? Well you'll just have to read on, won't you? Scary Movie 2Movie Review - Jul 5, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Not as relevant, not as interesting, and not as entertaining. Still, it is hard to deny a spoof movie. School of RockMovie Review - Sep 28, 2003 - By Alex Keen Jack Black is not in black. Instead he's all the pretty colors of the rainbow for this sugar coated visit down the Highway to Hell. School of RockMovie Review - Oct 6, 2003 - By Sean Conover How do you like your Jack Black? The Science of SleepMovie Review - Sep 26, 2006 - By Ted Porter Is it a comedy? A romance? A fantasy? Whatever you want to call it, this imaginative free-for-all from director Michel Gondry will either enchant or frustrate you to no end. The ScoreMovie Review - Jul 17, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Here's the score by my count: Three perfect stars, one great director, and one big kinetic unpaced mess with no pay off. The Scorpion KingMovie Review - Apr 20, 2002 - By Jim Pappas "The Scorpion King" is essentially the first blockbuster of the growing ever longer summer movie season. I was expecting to dislike this movie, as it was more or less billed as a sequel to “The Mummy” (which I liked) and the dreadful “The Mummy Returns”. However, I was surprised. Scott Pilgrim vs. The WorldMovie Review - Aug 13, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter The movie touts itself as "an epic of epic epicness" and surprisingly it may actually be true. SeabiscuitMovie Review - Jul 27, 2003 - By Max Braden Gary Ross takes us on a nostalgic trip to the 30s with a sports drama that is sure to be a hit at the box office and Oscars. Season of the WitchMovie Review - Jan 9, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart I didn't expect too much from "Season of the Witch" going into it, but it's pulp sensibility really won me over. Secondhand LionsMovie Review - Sep 19, 2003 - By Sean Conover "Secondhand Lions," the new film from "The Iron Giant" scribe Tim McCanlies, seeks to prove that old doesn't necessarily mean useless. See Spot RunMovie Review - Mar 5, 2001 - By Alex Keen I was amazed at how good David Arquette was. Too bad the story sucked... Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away)Movie Review - Sep 28, 2002 - By Kenneth Leung After a four year hiatus, Japanese animation king Hayao Miyazaki returns with his most imaginative work to date. The SentinelMovie Review - Apr 24, 2006 - By Ted Porter This Michael Douglas thriller centered around the Secret Service is a solid entertainment with a competent cast, a script that works, and enough genuine excitement and tension to leave you with a satisfied feeling once it's over. SerendipityMovie Review - Sep 25, 2001 - By Gabriela Kejner John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale tempt fate in this wonderful romantic comedy. SerendipityMovie Review - Sep 29, 2001 - By Raul Burriel We have an agreement. John Cusack makes a "Hollywood" movie. And then he makes a "John Cusack" movie. That's the way it works. That's the way it worked with "Con Air". Because of "Con Air", we got "High Fidelity". Now John Cusack's given us "America's Sweethearts". And for that, he owes us one "John Cusack" movie (and it better be a hum dinger!). Instead, we get "Serendipity". John Cusack now owes me TWO movies! SerenityMovie Review - Sep 30, 2005 - By Jim Pappas Come fly with me, I mean "Firefly" with me, into adventure. Session 9Movie Review - Jul 25, 2001 - By Alex Keen “Session Nine” is easily the scariest movie since John Carpenter’s original “Halloween.” SeveranceMovie Review - May 29, 2007 - By Max Braden A cast of mostly British actors get picked off one by one in this cabin-in-the-woods horror that delivers plenty of shock value, with some laughs. Limited expansion June 1. Sex DriveMovie Review - Oct 16, 2008 - By Robert Bell Much of the humour in "Sex Drive" would best be described as a guilty pleasure, since most will be too embarrassed to admit that they found any of this drivel amusing. Shadow of the VampireMovie Review - Jan 29, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Superior performers make this genuinely creepy picture worth watching even if it does seem hollow.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of ShadowsMovie Review - Dec 18, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Director Guy Ritchie and stars Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are back for their second outing in their new Sherlock Holmes franchise and for the most part, it's a lot of fun, though I do have a few problems with it. She's the ManMovie Review - Mar 20, 2006 - By Ted Porter Teen and tween girls are sure to find something to like in the fresh-faced romance and good-natured hijinks of this gender-bending high school comedy, and their boyfriends might even get some chuckles out of it too. A Shine of RainbowsMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell Amongst its many virtues, one of the greatest things about "A Shine of Rainbows" is its depiction of childhood shyness and insecurity, with the lack of a reliable male role model leading to a generalized fear of men. ShooterMovie Review - Mar 23, 2007 - By Jim Pappas A man is forced to hold onto his own honor despite impossible odds in this new film from director Antoine Fuqua. ShopgirlMovie Review - Oct 21, 2005 - By Sean Conover One thing is for sure: Steve Martin has an interesting and unique view on relationships. ShortsMovie Review - Aug 21, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr A rainbow-colored rock brings magic and mayhem to the town of Black Falls. Meanwhile, director Robert Rodriguez pays homage to Quentin Tarantino and some of his favorite candy products. Are you hankering for a Nutrageous? You will be. ShrekMovie Review - Mar 31, 2001 - By Alex Keen "Shrek" delights, particularly in skewering the classic fairy tales that moviegoers have grown up with. Shrek 2Movie Review - May 19, 2004 - By Jim Pappas An inspired bit of filmmaking, this movie makes you laugh and laugh and laugh some more. Shrek the ThirdMovie Review - May 17, 2007 - By Jim Pappas The third film of the Shrek franchise is certainly a charm for this inspiring and delightful new film. Shu shan zheng chuan (The Legend of Zu)Movie Review - Aug 14, 2001 - By Kenneth Leung The new Tsui Hark movie is similar to Hollywood blockbusters - big on visuals but small on script. Shutter IslandMovie Review - Feb 21, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter Martin Scorsese messes with your mind in a slow-paced but gripping thriller. Shutter IslandMovie Review - Feb 21, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart With Shutter Island, Martin Scorsese shows us that even the best directors don't always hit the mark. Sidewalks of New YorkMovie Review - May 8, 2001 - By Gabriela Kejner Ed Burns' tries to solve the riddle of love... again. SidewaysMovie Review - Dec 31, 2004 - By Beth Gottfried After looking up, down, front, and back, I still couldn't make "Sideways" a film worthy of all the critical acclaim it's received. Simply put, it's one of the year's worst films. SignsMovie Review - Jul 19, 2002 - By The long-awaited M. Night Shyamalan film, “Signs,” hopes to capture audiences with a recipe that bodes as well for reviews as it does for box-office potential. SignsMovie Review - Jul 31, 2002 - By Sean Conover M. Night Shyamalan returns with his third film, following in the footsteps of "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable." This time, he takes on the extra-terrestrial-laden topic of crop circles. Sure, the circles have been shown to be hoaxes, but what if they aren't? Silent HouseMovie Review - Mar 18, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Silent House" is an ambitious little thriller using the gimmick of making the entire film seem like one long continuous take, but that gimmick gets in the way of making it truly effective. SimoneMovie Review - Aug 26, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Al Pacino displays his comedic talents in the very funny and intelligent look at stardom, "Simone". The Simpsons MovieMovie Review - Jul 27, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Homer and Company have hit the big screen, and despite the uneven nature of this new film, we're still in the presence of an old friend. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven SeasMovie Review - Jun 19, 2003 - By Sean Conover Since "Sinbad" is not a fully computer-animated film, is it's mixture of "old school / new school" animation enough to grab our attention, or will audiences see it as another recipe for blandness like Disney's "Treasure Planet," released late last year? Siu lam juk kau (Shaolin Soccer)Movie Review - Dec 27, 2001 - By Kenneth Leung Looking at the recent Stephen Chow movie, it is not the most hilarious of his works but the film is the most extravagant. Sketches of Frank GehryMovie Review - May 11, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis First-time director Sydney Pollack captur... well, I mean first-time DOCUMENTARY director Pollack, attempts to capture some some of the magic behind his friend, brilliant architect, Frank Gehry. Sky Captain and the World of TomorrowMovie Review - Sep 14, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Take a walk on the weirdside with something different, yet all too familiar. SkyfallMovie Review - Nov 11, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter The long-running franchise feels fresher than ever with Daniel Craig driving the Aston Martin. SkyfallMovie Review - Nov 16, 2012 - By Eric Deters Skyfall is a deft mixture of style and substance, as well as an honor to the Bond legacy SkylineMovie Review - Nov 14, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Skyline has it's moments of brilliance and fun, but even for a B-movie this gets hampered by characters that you just don't care about. Smart PeopleMovie Review - Apr 11, 2008 - By Jim Pappas What happens when a family filled with intelligent members struggles to cope with their own realities, is examined by this less than inspiring new film. Smokin' AcesMovie Review - Jan 29, 2007 - By Ted Porter This hyperkinetic action flick keeps you dazzled with flash and bravado while hiding the fact that there's not much to it, but you'll probably be entertained enough not to care. Snakes on a PlaneMovie Review - Aug 22, 2006 - By Max Braden One of the year's most hyped thrillers is one of its most disappointing flops. SnatchMovie Review - Jan 19, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Jokes and puns aside, "Snatch" is a wild ride! Snow White and the HuntsmanMovie Review - Jun 3, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Mirror, mirror, on the wall, why doesn't this movie work at all? The Social NetworkMovie Review - Oct 3, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin deliver a story for our times, and even though it's real life main character calls it fiction, you still have to think that there's a lot of truth here. Someone Like YouMovie Review - Mar 21, 2001 - By Alex Keen "Someone Like You" is a film that can make two people fall in love... Something's Gotta GiveMovie Review - Dec 18, 2003 - By Beth Gottfried ‘A little ditty about Jack & Diane’ goes a long way in “Something’s Gotta give.” Unfortunately, the convoluted path meanders and leaves us emotionally and mentally constipated. Fortunately, Keaton and Nicholson are there to pick up the pieces… Source CodeMovie Review - Apr 3, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Duncan Jones' "Source Code" is terrific entertainment with smart ideas and smart performances. SpartanMovie Review - Mar 12, 2004 - By Max Braden Val Kilmer stars in a gritty "Bourne Identity"-style thriller from writer/director David Mamet. Speed RacerMovie Review - May 9, 2008 - By Jim Pappas The old cartoon series is dusted off and polished into shiny newness by the Wachowski brothers, and fans of the show will feel like they've been both shaken and stirred by this fantastical new film. Spider-ManMovie Review - May 4, 2002 - By Jim Pappas “Spider-Man” is the first official entry in the summer blockbuster series for 2002. Spider-Man 2Movie Review - Jun 25, 2004 - By Scott Juba Packed with action, emotion, and intensity, "Spider-Man 2" pays tribute to its comic book roots and succeeds in generating memorable, multi-layered characters. Spider-Man 3Movie Review - Apr 29, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Spider-Man is the toast of tinsel town in this 3rd installment of the Marvel Comics character's adventures. Spirited AwayMovie Review - Sep 21, 2002 - By Jim Pappas The highest grossing movie of all time in Japan, "Spirited Away" is a triumph of imagination and style. SpliceMovie Review - Jun 6, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Splice is a little disturbing cautionary tale that brings to mind the type of movie that David Cronenberg used to make -- and to me, that makes for an entertaining genre film. SplinterMovie Review - Oct 31, 2008 - By Jim Pappas We've seen this all before, but an outstanding cast makes this new horror film at least watchable. Spy KidsMovie Review - Apr 1, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth For a director known for some really sub-par adult movies, "Spy Kids" comes out as a really above-par kid movie. Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost DreamsMovie Review - Aug 1, 2002 - By Sean Conover With the unsurprising success of "Spy Kids," Director Robert Rodriguez hurried his young spies back to the production studio for this sequel before they got too old. Will new spy gadgets, along with fantastic creatures and a higher profile cast bring back the masses? Spy Kids 3-D: Game OverMovie Review - Jul 26, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Made for children, this 3rd installment in the "Spy Kids" franchise will appeal only to younger viewers. Much younger viewers. Star TrekMovie Review - May 7, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter J.J. Abrams hits the reset button on Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock, and the results are awesome. Star Trek Into DarknessMovie Review - May 18, 2013 - By Dennis Russo "Into Darkness" boldly goes where no Star Trek movie has gone before. Star Trek Into DarknessMovie Review - May 19, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Star Trek Into Darkness" is a terrifically fun ride that cements this new cast in some very classic parts. Star Trek Into Darkness 3-D [Spoiler-Free]Movie Review - May 16, 2013 - By Paul Schultz For those acclimated to J.J. Abrams' dumbed-down Star Trek universe, this film delivers on the entertainment. For those steeped in Trek lore, the subtitle and tone is an ominous departure from series creator Gene Roddenberry's vision of an optimistic future. Star Trek: NemesisMovie Review - Dec 10, 2002 - By Jim Pappas The action is fast and furious in the new Star Trek film, Nemesis. Both fans and non-fans of the long running series will be pleased with this effort. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the ClonesMovie Review - May 10, 2002 - By Alex Keen The latest installment in George Lucas's epic tale of fantasy, "Star Wars," will redeem the bearded one for his mistakes with "Episode I: The Phantom Menace." Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the ClonesMovie Review - May 18, 2002 - By Jim Pappas I have seen "Attack of The Clones" twice now, and will see it a third time this weekend. The first viewing was simply overwhelming. There is so much to see and hear in this film that the sheer volume of effects tends to drown out the story. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the SithMovie Review - May 6, 2005 - By Jim Pappas The conclusion of the Star Wars saga is satisfying in every way possible. Star Wars: The Clone WarsMovie Review - Aug 14, 2008 - By Jim Pappas A new Star Wars movie from Lucasfilm is always welcome, and this offering will delight old fans and bring new ones into the fold. Starsky & HutchMovie Review - Feb 22, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Funny and nostalgic, Starsky and Hutch delivers the comedic goods with charm and style. StatesideMovie Review - May 22, 2004 - By Max Braden This under the radar romance drama has a number of familiar names, but fails at any attempt to deliver the story. In limited release May 21. Stealing HarvardMovie Review - Sep 14, 2002 - By Jim Pappas A decidedly unfunny send-up, "Stealing Harvard" offers few laughs and leaves one with a sick feeling in the pit of the stomach. Step Up 3DMovie Review - Aug 6, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart The third film in the Step Up series plunges into 3D and the results are a serviceable story and spectacular dance numbers. Step Up RevolutionMovie Review - Jul 28, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Step Up Revolution" is a little darker and a little slower-paced than the previous entry in the series, "Step Up 3D," but it's still a lot of fun and features some of the very best 3D out there. The Stepford WivesMovie Review - Jun 11, 2004 - By Scott Juba Headlined by an all-star cast, "The Stepford Wives" is a lighthearted movie that pokes fun at classic stereotypes with wit and style. Stuart Little 2Movie Review - Jul 22, 2002 - By Sean Conover Will this sequel live up to its predecessor's level of quality, or is it a pitiful attempt by the studio to cash in on the predecessor's success? Suck Movie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell Probably more noteworthy for its star-studded, musical supporting cast, "Suck" does not ironically suck, but it is not anything particularly memorable either. Sucker PunchMovie Review - Mar 27, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter "I loved it!" I said, twenty years ago. Now, hot women and big explosions aren't enough. Sucker PunchMovie Review - Mar 27, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Zack Snyder delivers everything including the kitchen sink in "Sucker Punch" for a non-stop thrill ride, it just would've helped if there really was something to give a damn about in the end. Sugar & SpiceMovie Review - Jan 27, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth For every ten jokes "Sugar & Spice" catapult-somersaults into the audience, I'd say about two stick. The Sum of All FearsMovie Review - Jun 1, 2002 - By Jim Pappas This latest Tom Clancy thriller is brought to the big screen as a thoughful and intelligent thriller that relies more on substance than style, but is handicapped by the fact it has to cover ground that is well trodden. Sunshine StateMovie Review - Jul 11, 2002 - By Sean Conover As a resident of North Florida, John Sayles' newest film "Sunshine State" appealed to me for two reasons. SuperMovie Review - Apr 18, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "Super" was a huge surprise. Though not for everyone, this extremely black comedy has a big heart and that's primarily due to a wonderful performance from Rainn Wilson. Super 8Movie Review - Jun 13, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Director J.J. Abrams is back on the big screen for his Spielberg-inspired and produced new movie, "Super 8." With a pedigree like that, failure shouldn't have been an option... Super Size MeMovie Review - May 21, 2004 - By Max Braden In an excellent documentary that may very well change your life, a man does the unthinkable: put his life in the hands of Ronald McDonald. You need to see this movie. In selected cities since May 7. Superman ReturnsMovie Review - Jun 23, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's a movie review! Clark Kent's alter ego returns to Earth and to the movie screen in this summer's best blockbuster. SurrogatesMovie Review - Sep 25, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter The highly underrated graphic novel is adapted into a fun sci-fi flick that is part "Terminator" and part cautionary tale. Surviving ChristmasMovie Review - Oct 24, 2004 - By R.J. Carter James Gandolfini makes "Surviving Christmas" survivable in spite of Ben Affleck. Sweet Home AlabamaMovie Review - Sep 25, 2002 - By Sean Conover The ending of "Sweet Home Alabama" is telegraphed half way through (if not in the film's trailers), but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Most of the characters are enjoyable even if the story line is weak, but it still ends up being an overall fun ride. SwimfanMovie Review - Sep 9, 2002 - By Frances Anne Banner Franny checks in after seeing the teen horror-in-the-pool film, "Swimfan": Feel like a dip? You will. Swing VoteMovie Review - Jul 31, 2008 - By Robert Bell This cloying, saccharine and entirely didactic offering of Capra-esque summer counter-programming, may be the perfect treat for the senior citizen crowd who will surely gasp and feel a little naughty during the many occasions that Kevin Costner cusses and takes the Lord's name in vain. SyrianaMovie Review - Dec 11, 2005 - By Beth Gottfried A film where everyone is in bed with everyone else. Except those that end up getting killed off, but who,s to say those are the real losers anyways? TadpoleMovie Review - Jul 20, 2002 - By Jim Pappas As coming-of-age stories go, “Tadpole” is brief and to the point. Starring Aaron Stanford as Oscar Grubman, a precocious 15 going on 40 year old, it manages to tell it’s whole story in less than the listed 78 minutes running time. It is a slice of a slice of life, and has a sweetness and gentleness that is so sorely lacking in films these days. TakenMovie Review - Jan 28, 2009 - By Robert Bell Given that "Taken" is a film written by two Frenchmen about a reckless, emotionally driven American that goes on a rampage through Paris, killing any Middle-Eastern criminal that gets in the way of finding his manipulative bimbette daughter, it does not take a genius to figure out what the film is really about. Taken 2Movie Review - Oct 7, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter Liam Neeson's always good, but he can't save this unadventurous film from mediocrity. Taking LivesMovie Review - Mar 14, 2004 - By Jim Pappas What happens when a beautiful FBI agent gets involved with a serial killer? The answer to that question isn't quite what you might expect in this new thriller from Warner Brothers. Talk to MeMovie Review - Jul 12, 2007 - By Ted Porter In this appealing, vibrant biopic about an ex-con who became a controversial radio personality in the 1960s, Don Cheadle "tells it like it is" in a powerhouse performance virtually guaranteed to get the Oscar buzz started. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky BobbyMovie Review - Aug 11, 2006 - By Paul Schultz A song that should have been left unsung, this Will Ferrell vehicle breaks down as a tedious, unfunny, weak satire of NASCAR. TapeMovie Review - Nov 5, 2001 - By Alex Keen Another review of a Richard Linklater film. This film unfortunately fails to have as great an impact. Te wu mi cheng (The Accidental Spy)Movie Review - Feb 8, 2001 - By Kenneth Leung There is nothing "accidental" about this film – good entertainment but not eye-catching. Teacher's PetMovie Review - Jan 18, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Good acting and direction, and clever show tunes, can't save this film from being anything other than silly. Tears of The SunMovie Review - Mar 9, 2003 - By Jim Pappas The horrible reality of African civil war is brought home to us in this moving and disturbing new action film from Sony. TedMovie Review - Jul 1, 2012 - By Jeff Ritter More fun than a barrel of monkeys or a Red Rider BB gun. Tejing xinrenlei 2 (Gen-Y Cops)Movie Review - Dec 16, 2000 - By Kenneth Leung What do you get if cross Chinese action, comedy and Hong Kong stereotypical views on Americans? The TerminalMovie Review - Jun 25, 2004 - By Max Braden Is it a romance? Is it a drama? It's both and neither, and the combination of big names like Spielberg, Hanks, and Zeta-Jones barely manage to hold it together. In theaters June 18. Terminator 3: Rise of the MachinesMovie Review - Jul 3, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Arnold Schwarzenegger reprises his role as the Terminator with gusto, and the film breathes new life into the action genre with some amazing and creative live action effects sure to delight those fans of the Terminator series. Texas Chainsaw 3DMovie Review - Jan 6, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart Hopefully, "Texas Chainsaw 3D" isn't a sign of things to come for movies in 2013; I love the horror genre and I'm all for re-makes, sequels and re-imaginings that make sense, but this is just a huge disappointment in all areas. The Texas Chainsaw MassacreMovie Review - Oct 21, 2003 - By Beth Gottfried "TXCM" haunts and titillates. And gets as much mileage out of Jessica Biel’s white tank top as is visually possible. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The BeginningMovie Review - Oct 12, 2006 - By Ted Porter This horror prequel is more violent and gory than its predecessors, but do we really get to know the man behind the human-flesh mask? The Dark KnightMovie Review - Jul 18, 2008 - By Jim Pappas A sequel that clearly rises above its predecessor, this is one of the best films of the year, terrifying, relentless and thrilling. The Dark KnightMovie Review - Jul 18, 2008 - By Jeff Ritter Christian Bale and Heath Ledger engage in one of the best comic book battles ever put to film. But is the rest of it any good? The ProposalMovie Review - Jun 16, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter Bar none, the funniest romantic comedy I've seen in years. The ProtectorMovie Review - Sep 15, 2006 - By Max Braden Muay Thai martial artist Tony Jaa stars in his second movie, which follows a similar formula to his first, "Ong Bak." The World UnseenMovie Review - Nov 6, 2008 - By Robert Bell While the story of Sapphic affections and racial tension in 50’s apartheid-era South Africa itself is intriguing and loaded with potential, the big screen presentation is so stagy, awkward, badly acted and disastrously lit that it is extremely difficult to slip into the narrative and find emotional connection. The X-Files: I Want to BelieveMovie Review - Jul 25, 2008 - By Jim Pappas A throwback to the television series, this new film stays away from the conspiracies and directs most of its attention to the relationship between Mulder and Scully, and not really much else. The ThingMovie Review - Oct 16, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart This prequel to John Carpenter's 1982 film gets a little bogged down with some flat characters, but gets redeemed with it's ending. ThirteenMovie Review - Aug 28, 2003 - By Beth Gottfried Haunting, gritty, and very "real," novice director Catherine Hardwicke delivers a shockingly poignant gem in Sundance’s coming-of-age teenage drama “Thirteen” proving that luck is all in the eye of the beholder. Thor Movie Review - May 8, 2011 - By Jeff Ritter Marvel hammers out another winner--but see it in 2-D! ThorMovie Review - May 8, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Ragnarok 'n Roll!! Marvel has another winner with Kenneth Branagh and "Thor." The Three MusketeersMovie Review - Oct 30, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart It may not be the most faithful adaptation of Dumas' work, but "The Three Musketeers" is visually spectacular and a fun ride. The Three StoogesMovie Review - Apr 16, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart Lots of Nyuk Nyuks to be had here. "The Three Stooges" is just terrific fun. The Three StoogesMovie Review - Apr 15, 2012 - By Dennis Russo Can we call "The Three Stooges" brilliant? Soitenly! The Time That RemainsMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell Inspired by the diaries of the writer/director’s father, this film provides a strange and satirical outsider perspective to the conflict between Arabs and Jews that we are all too familiar with. To Rome With LoveMovie Review - Jun 25, 2012 - By Lindsay Brand Coming off the box office success of “Midnight in Paris”, Woody Allen offers another film set in an exotic locale. Tomb RaiderMovie Review - Jun 15, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth "The Avengers" without the charm, "The Mummy" without the laughs, "Tomb Raider" is as empty as Summer Blockbusters get. TomcatsMovie Review - Apr 5, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Funniest when not trying so hard, "Tomcats" managed to overcome severe hatred for the trailers with this reviewer. Tortilla HeavenMovie Review - Feb 27, 2007 - By R.J. Carter A light comedy with a few sluggish bits, "Tortilla Heaven" is a "masa" see for fans of magical realism -- a modern parable of frienship and faith. Total RecallMovie Review - Aug 6, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart For this writer, "Total Recall" is one of those rare re-makes that actually surpasses the original film, but it's not a knock against the original. This new version really shines thanks to a terrific performance from Colin Farrell. The TownMovie Review - Sep 19, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Ben Affleck's acting and directorial skill make for a riveting trip to "The Town." Toy Story 3Movie Review - Jun 18, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Woody, Buzz and all of your favorites are back and Pixar continues to show that their computer animated films are just as good, if not better, than those of the big live-action variety. TrafficMovie Review - Jan 10, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth In a movie where "Nobody Gets Away Clean", couldn't they at least have done some editing? Training DayMovie Review - Sep 14, 2001 - By Alex Keen Washington & Hawke square off in this stinker that had so much potential. TransamericaMovie Review - Sep 30, 2005 - By Jim Pappas If you father a son, then become a woman, are you now the mother? Find out in this new film. TransamericaMovie Review - Dec 9, 2005 - By Jonathan Baylis Bob and Harvey return to release an old school indie film. Trannies, gigolos, and the open road, oh my! TransformersMovie Review - Jul 2, 2007 - By Scott Juba While everyone will undoubtedly be in awe at the phenomenal special effects, "Transformers" ultimately succeeds because of its well-plotted story. Transformers: Revenge of the FallenMovie Review - Jun 24, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter Michael Bay doesn't seem to get the concept of classic tagline, "More than meets the eye." Transporter 3Movie Review - Nov 25, 2008 - By Robert Bell While it would be easy to harp on strange conveniences and peculiarities, such as the fact that the many villains who battle Frank are polite enough to “wait their turn”, as well as his decision to strip during battle, it would be a moot point, as those who enjoy this sort of thing are not looking for probability. The TransporterMovie Review - Sep 13, 2002 - By Sean Conover In "The Transporter," Besson has decided to combine his experience and success together into one concoction, mixing the formulaic plot of his early films with the action of "Kiss of the Dragon." Unfortunately, this results in a rather bland recipe, with something missing in the finished product. Treasure PlanetMovie Review - Nov 25, 2002 - By Sean Conover Yes, "Treasure Planet" is an interesting adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island," but its similarities to last year's "Atlantis" are striking. TriageMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell With its crisscrossing time-shifting narrative, Oscar-winning directorial pedigree and the dramatic weight loss of a leading man, "Triage" seems, on the surface, like more than it actually is, ultimately being far too familiar and slight in its implications to resonate truly. Tristan & IsoldeMovie Review - Jan 22, 2006 - By Ted Porter Sophia Myles brings to the screen the emotional intensity and genuine presence needed to carry this film. TroisMovie Review - Mar 1, 2001 - By Chuck Pollet I should have been prepared for the worst when I overheard two 50ish women talking before the movie started: "Do you know what this is about?" "No, but it must be in French with subtitles because 'Trois' is French for three." TrollHunterMovie Review - Jul 3, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart "TrollHunter" is just spectacular fun. It's offered on Pay-Per-View now, but really deserves to be seen on the big screen. Tron: LegacyMovie Review - Dec 16, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter After 28 years, Jeff Bridges spectacularly reignites my long-running desire to have my own Light Cycle. Tron: LegacyMovie Review - Dec 19, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart And now, the differing opinion: Tron: Legacy is cliched, soulless and doesn't have any sort of sense of fun -- and it's all in lackluster 3D! Tron: LegacyMovie Review - Dec 19, 2010 - By Chris Delloiacono Is the Legacy of "Tron" in good hands? TroyMovie Review - May 15, 2004 - By Scott Juba Ever since Ridley Scott's brilliant epic, Gladiator, I have been anxiously waiting for another period piece set in ancient times to live up to Gladiator's standard of excellence. Unfortunately, and contrary to my expectations, Troy fails to do this. True GritMovie Review - Dec 27, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart The Coen Brothers remake a classic western in style with a starmaking performance from young Hailee Steinfeld. True Grit (2010)Movie Review - Dec 21, 2010 - By Jeff Ritter Rooster Cogburn rides again, but young Mattie Ross is the one to watch. True Grit (2010)Movie Review - Dec 27, 2010 - By Chris Delloiacono Acting + Realism = 2010 > 1969 The Truth About CharlieMovie Review - Apr 24, 2002 - By Tate Dersh The remake of Stanley Donen's classic is currently test screening. Read ahead to check out Tate's take on this October release. Tuck EverlastingMovie Review - Sep 26, 2002 - By Sean Conover With the release of "Tuck Everlasting," Disney is again trying to translate the popular images and magic of an award-winning novelist to the big screen. The Twilight Saga: EclipseMovie Review - Jun 30, 2010 - By Carrie Bradshaw With not many choices at the box office this summer, "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" may be the bright light Hollywood is looking for. The Twilight Saga: New MoonMovie Review - Nov 20, 2009 - By Paulette Suhr The special effects have improved, but the storyline has taken a turn for the worse. Two BrothersMovie Review - Jun 9, 2004 - By Scott Juba A story of two brother tigers separated by human encroachment, Jean-Jacques Annaud's latest film aims to be a moving tale about the bonds of nature and the value of the world's wildlife. Instead, because of its derivative nature, it is a sub-par movie that gives new meaning to the words dull and pointless. Two Weeks NoticeMovie Review - Dec 16, 2002 - By Max Braden Max reviews yet another weak romantic comedy about how Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock can be really charming. The Ultimate GiftMovie Review - Mar 15, 2007 - By Paul Schultz "The Ultimate Gift" delivers a package filled with life's lessons about traits that will make one truly happy. Although well-meaning, it ultimately was a gift I wanted to return for a refund. UltravioletMovie Review - Mar 6, 2006 - By Ted Porter If you've seen the trailer for this remarkably silly sci-fi action-thriller, you've pretty much already seen the best the movie has to offer. Uncovered: The War On IraqMovie Review - Aug 21, 2004 - By Jim Pappas This is a film every American should see, especially before voting this coming November. UnderworldMovie Review - Sep 20, 2003 - By Sean Conover Some scenes in “Underworld” resemble “The Matrix.” There, I’ve said it. Everyone is thinking it, so might as well get it out in the open. Une vieille maîtresse (The Last Mistress)Movie Review - Jul 2, 2008 - By Robert Bell Catherine Breillat has assembled her most accessible art house film to date. UnleashedMovie Review - May 13, 2005 - By Jim Pappas When you let your dog run free, you end up with a disobedient dog! UnstoppableMovie Review - Nov 21, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Tony Scott and Denzel Washington's fifth big screen teaming is an enjoyable night at the movies. UntraceableMovie Review - Jan 27, 2008 - By Ted Porter Diane Lane stars in this queasy mixture of "The Silence of the Lambs" and the "Saw" movies that's not quite sure which it wants to be, a thriller or a horror movie. V for VendettaMovie Review - Mar 8, 2006 - By Jonathan Baylis "Remember, remember the 5th of November..." This might be the most relevant -- if not the only relevant -- film you see this year. V/H/SMovie Review - Oct 8, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "V/H/S" is fun mash-up of horror anthology with the "Found Footage" genre. Not every story is successful, but for fans of the sub-genre, it's worth seeing. VacancyMovie Review - Apr 21, 2007 - By Scott Juba Chances are that almost everyone has at least one horror story of a lousy motel visit. After watching "Vacancy," you likely won't complain about yours any more. ValentineMovie Review - Feb 4, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth Show your valentine that you love them... By not making them watch this piece of garbage. Van HelsingMovie Review - May 8, 2004 - By Jim Pappas Fanciful and fantastic, this new film from Universal is breathtaking, silly, and officially opens the summer blockbuster season. Van HelsingMovie Review - May 15, 2004 - By Scott Juba The world is a cold, dark place, and evil is everywhere. Only one man stands between the wicked creatures of the world and their unconditional victory. That man is Van Helsing. Van WilderMovie Review - Mar 16, 2002 - By Alex Keen Another gross-out comedy from the makers of "Animal House" is better than a senior trip, but is no vacation. Vanilla SkyMovie Review - Dec 16, 2001 - By Vincent Chen Cameron Crowe's new film titled "Vanilla Sky" is a captivating film from start to finish. Veronica GuerinMovie Review - Oct 18, 2003 - By Jim Pappas The true story of the courageous Irish journalist who gave her life in pursuit of the truth, this film never truly lets us know her, unfortunately. Vertical LimitMovie Review - Dec 9, 2000 - By Jonathan Sudduth Hollywood's latest disaster flick is truly such. The VillageMovie Review - Jul 29, 2004 - By Jim Pappas What is the price of paradise? We find out in this new film by M. Night Shyamalan. The VillageMovie Review - Jul 30, 2004 - By Scott Juba "The Village" is perhaps the best love story, horror film, and political cautionary tale to hit theaters in recent years. La Vita è bella (Life is Beautiful)Movie Review - Mar 18, 1999 - By Raul Burriel It is sad to know that Roberto Benigni has such a poor grasp of the English language, since almost every exposure we get to this actor/director on American television leaves him looking like a total idiot. But Benigni is quite the opposite. In "La Vita è bella", Benigni has created one of the greatest films of all time. VitusMovie Review - Jun 25, 2007 - By Jim Pappas Real life piano prodigy Teo Gheorghiu helps to bring to life this whimsical tale of a young genius, who delights in outthinking the adults around him. W.Movie Review - Oct 16, 2008 - By Robert Bell Lacking the sense of historical perspective that could take a conventional glance at a controversial presidency and make it profound, W is still far better than it could have been. Waking LifeMovie Review - Oct 17, 2001 - By Alex Keen Buzz from Sundance made "Waking Life" the indie film to see this fall. Richard Linklater the wunderkind director of "Slacker" has made another film that relies heavily on patience. Walk the LineMovie Review - Jan 7, 2006 - By Beth Gottfried If there is a film to contend with at this year's Oscars, it's "Walk the Line." Why? If you chalk it up to the lack of competition, you'd be doing both yourself and this film a grave disservice. A Walk to RememberMovie Review - Jan 24, 2002 - By Andrea Hazard There are a few good things to be said about "A Walk to Remember". Unfortunately there are many, many more that are bad. Walking TallMovie Review - Apr 2, 2004 - By Scott Juba "Walking Tall" is mindless action entertainment that places trivial action above solid storytelling. Wall Street: Money Never SleepsMovie Review - Sep 26, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart Gordon Gekko returns and so does Oliver Stone, making his best movie that I've seen in awhile. Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-RabbitMovie Review - Sep 20, 2005 - By Kenneth Leung It is finally here: a full length movie featuring the antics of Wallace and Gromit but was it worth the wait? The Warrior's WayMovie Review - Dec 5, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart "The Warrior's Way" was one big surprise; anime action in the old West with a whole lotta heart. The WatcherMovie Review - Sep 7, 2000 - By Jamie Ruccio The Watcher is not a bad movie... but it isn't a good one either. Some movies like Ishtar and Battlefield Earth are so bad that they will live on in infamy and rentals. This movie will quietly slip beneath the waves of distant memories and mediocrity and WatchmenMovie Review - Mar 5, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter Who watches the Watchmen? You should, but be warned: it's darker than The Dark Knight. WatchmenMovie Review - Mar 6, 2009 - By Max Braden Violent, jarring in tone, and far too long, this adaptation of the graphic novel feels like something Paul Verhoven would have directed twenty years ago. But Jackie Earle Haley and the movie's grandiose theme makes it worth your while. WatchmenMovie Review - Mar 7, 2009 - By R.J. Carter Who are the Watchmen? Even fans of the original graphic novel may be asking themselves this question as they walk out from Zach Snyder's vision. We Are MarshallMovie Review - Dec 13, 2006 - By Rachel Jaffe Director McG rises to a new level with this stirring tribute to the power of perseverance. The Weather ManMovie Review - Oct 29, 2005 - By Scott Juba For every entertaining scene, there are several others that do nothing to advance the story, making the forecast for "The Weather Man" unfortunately bleak. The Wedding CrashersMovie Review - Jul 15, 2005 - By Scott Juba Packed with wit, humor, and heart, "Wedding Crashers" is one of this summer's most enjoyable movies. The Wedding SingerMovie Review - Sep 9, 1998 - By Raul Burriel Adam Sandler, usually prone to Chris Farley-esque features, has finally found himself something different. Welcome to MooseportMovie Review - Feb 16, 2004 - By Jim Pappas A popular former President of the United States locks political horns with a popular local townsperson in this film, to mildly amusing results. What A Girl WantsMovie Review - Mar 30, 2003 - By Jim Pappas Nickelodeon's Amanda Bynes lights up the screen in this heartwarming coming-of-age story that manages to avoid some of the cliches What's the Worst that Could Happen?Movie Review - Jun 3, 2001 - By Jonathan Sudduth It's rare, but it happened. Danny DeVito outshines a fellow actor in this crooked caper. When a Stranger CallsMovie Review - Feb 6, 2006 - By Ted Porter This update of the 1979 movie tries to transport the original's basic premise into the modern horror era, but in doing so dials a wrong number. When in RomeMovie Review - Jan 31, 2010 - By Paulette Suhr If the message this schlock is trying to convey is that it's better to be alone than to be lusted after by a bunch of deranged stalkers, well, it's coming through loud and clear. Where The Wild Things AreMovie Review - Oct 13, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter If you were planning on bringing your kids to see this disturbing film, you better think twice. WhiteoutMovie Review - Sep 11, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter Life on the frozen continent heats up with Kate Beckinsale on the job. The Whole Nine YardsMovie Review - Feb 21, 2000 - By Raul Burriel Bruce Willis is Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski, a mob enforcer who's on the run from the mob after having sold out his boss to the Feds. Matthew Perry is Nicholas "Oz" Oseransky, the hapless dentist, and Jimmy's next door neighbor. Rosanna Arquette is Sophie, Oz's French Canadian wife from hell, although judging from her accent, you'd think she were actually playing a French maid. Amanda Peet is Jill, Oz's assistant at the dental clinic, and a big fan of Jimmy's. The Wild HuntMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell Initially, "The Wild Hunt" seems like yet another slice of prosaic Canadian hokum... WillardMovie Review - Mar 12, 2003 - By Sean Conover Does anyone really like rats? I mean, mice are sometimes cute, but rats are big and, well...big. WimbledonMovie Review - Sep 16, 2004 - By Scott Juba Despite its faults, "Wimbledon" aces the moments that matter most. WindtalkersMovie Review - Jun 15, 2002 - By Jim Pappas Nicolas Cage stars in the violent and chaotic John Woo vision of World War II. Without a PaddleMovie Review - Aug 7, 2004 - By Scott Juba "Without a Paddle" is not a perfect comedy, but by all accounts, this is a movie that should be in no danger of sinking at the box office. Wo hu cang long (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)Movie Review - Jul 22, 2000 - By Kenneth Leung Two warriors in pursuit of a stolen sword and a notorious fugitive are lead to an impetuous, physically-skilled, teenage nobleman's daughter.

Wolf CreekMovie Review - Jul 30, 2005 - By Jim Pappas This film left me fearful and mistrusting, and is about an effective a thriller as there can be. The WolfmanMovie Review - Feb 14, 2010 - By Darren Goodhart "The Wolfman" is solid entertainment and a nice throwback to good old days of classic Universal horror films. The World Is Not EnoughMovie Review - Nov 22, 1999 - By Vincent Chen James Bond, the perennial spy, is back in the ninteenth installment. Wrath of the TitansMovie Review - Apr 1, 2012 - By Darren Goodhart "Wrath of the Titans" is a lot of fun and significantly better than "Clash of the Titans." Wreck-It RalphMovie Review - Nov 5, 2012 - By Eric Deters Wreck-It Ralph is more than a movie about video games, and you don't need to enjoy the medium of video games to fall in love with Wreck-It Ralph. X-MenMovie Review - Jul 16, 2000 - By Alex Keen This may be one of the best comic book adaptions ever. Bryan Singer succeeds in bringing mutants to life. X-Men Origins: WolverineMovie Review - May 1, 2009 - By Jeff Ritter You might call it X-Men Volume 1/2, Bub. X-Men: First ClassMovie Review - Jun 3, 2011 - By Darren Goodhart Director Matthew Vaughn takes over the reins this popular franchise giving us one really fun ride.

The world is in peril and only one man can save it. The difference this time, though, is that our man on the spot is not your run of the mill, martini-sipping hero. Year of the CarnivoreMovie Review - Sep 22, 2009 - By Robert Bell What could be more appropriate for Sook-Yin Lee, the former mooning Much Music VJ, ex-lead singer of Bob’s Your Uncle and star of "Shortbus", than to offend the tender sensibilities of the elitist. Ying xiong (Hero)Movie Review - Dec 20, 2002 - By Kenneth Leung Zhang Yimou paints a truly vibrant picture which truly amazes the visual sense with its colour and martial arts artistry. Young AdultMovie Review - Dec 14, 2011 - By Paulette Suhr Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody grow up, with mixed results. The Young VictoriaMovie Review - Sep 21, 2009 - By Robert Bell For all of its lavish set design, impeccable costuming and muscular shot composition, "The Young Victoria" cannot surpass one major obstacle... Youth Without YouthMovie Review - Dec 12, 2007 - By Jim Pappas After having his youth restored to him, an elderly professor of linguistics has a second chance to fulfill his lifelong dream: to discover the origins of language in this stimulating new film from director Francis Ford Coppola. Zero Dark ThirtyMovie Review - Jan 19, 2013 - By Darren Goodhart "Zero Dark Thirty" may not be as emotionally effective as Katherine Bigelow's last movie, "The Hurt Locker," but it's still compelling viewing. Zero Dark ThirtyMovie Review - Feb 8, 2013 - By Eric Deters "Zero Dark Thirty" is an unflinching film, but it's hampered by weak, lazy writing.
