Movie Reviews

Coming Soon!

Tarsem's bizarre sophomore effort sports fantastic, unforgettable images and locations, often attaining the visual heights of Gilliam, Greenaway and del Toro, even if the results may be too erratic for mainstream tastes.

Speed Racer

As hard as it tries, the Wachowskis' attempt to create a live-action "Speed Racer" gets bogged down by far too much exposition and decent action that's often marred by ugly, almost unwatchable visuals.

Speed Racer

It has been made for one, very young age group, and no one else is going to get anything out of it. But for what it is, it's quite good, and compared to what normally gets made only for children (I'm looking at you, SpongeBob SquarePants), it's positively brilliant.

What Happens in Vegas

"What Happens in Vegas" is your basic Hollywood formula romantic comedy, painfully predictable and going for the most obvious laughs, while mostly failing to be very funny.

Iron Man

"Iron Man" stands out as one of the best comic book movies ever made thanks in large part to a healthy dose of humor, action, and a great performance by Robert Downey Jr.

Made of Honor

It's not funny, and it's a little schizophrenic. In trying to make "Made of Honor" appeal to as many people as possible, the filmmakers have ended up with a film that doesn't really appeal to anyone.

Redbelt

Chiwetel Ejiofor's impeccable performance is the best thing going for Mamet's look at the world of ultimate fighting, a film that only excels when it treads on familiar Mamet territory but ultimately suffers from the ridiculous amount of characters and a convoluted plot.

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay

This may be the most deliberately unapologetic politically-incorrect movie ever made, and it's so wrong in so many ways. With the current political climate, this might be exactly what Americans need to be able to laugh with Harold and Kumar at our own social morays and ineptitude. Either way, this is easily the funniest movie since "Superbad" and a more than satisfying sequel.

88 Minutes

"88 Minutes" is a textbook Hollywood thriller, in the worst possible sense of the phrase. If that's your thing, more power to you, but there's got to be better ways to spend your time.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

The filmmakers' intentions are kept deliberately vague--is this about free speech or about teaching religion in the classroom?--but it's a surprisingly entertaining and informative doc that at least tries to address the debate over "Intelligent design" from another angle.
