Latest Review Additions: |
Cars (in Film )
-
Pixar strikes gold once again with “Cars”. It is a wonderfully imaginative film and filled with just the right amount of nostalgia and sentimentality to win over audiences of all ages.
|
A Prairie Home Companion (in Film )
-
Highly-recommended for loyal devotees inclined to approach A Prairie Home Companion as a cinematic capstone on Garrison Keillor’s magnificent career.
|
THE BREAK UP (in Film )
-
With Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston having declared themselves a couple, people forget that this is still a movie, and yet, the film is uneven because the chemistry doesn’t work on screen as much as it works off-screen.
|
Firewall DVD (in Film )
-
Another edge-of-your-seat, roller coaster ride from a matinee idol everybody loves to root for.
|
Why We Fight DVD (in Film )
-
This damning documentary interweaves file footage with running commentaries by a “Who’s Who” list of both liberal and conservative luminaries like Senator John McCain, Gore Vidal, Richard Perle and Bill Kristol.
|
DISTRICT B13 (in Film
)
-
Unlikely Buddies Blend to Save Ghetto in Futuristic Action Flick from France
|
X-Men:
The Last Stand (in Film
)
-
Every great franchise inevitably takes a step back, but to
portray “X-Men: The Last Stand” as anything less
than disappointing is mincing words. It is a shell of
its predecessors, a technical exercise that is utterly devoid
of substance.
|
Date Movie DVD (in Film
)
-
More shocking than hilarious, but Date Movie offers just enough
funny moments to earn this critic’s seal of approval.
|
The
Da Vinci Code (in Film
)
-
The film is overly faithful to the book, but it is a better
than average popcorn film that runs a bit long.
|
Lemming
(in Film
)
-
Suspenseful and surreal, it is perhaps most reminiscent of
Swimming Pool, another inscrutable psychological thriller starring
Charlotte Rampling
|
Something
New DVD (in Film
)
-
Mixing mirth with more sophisticated moments, Something New
ultimately triumphs primarily because of the easy-going screen
chemistry generated by Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker..
|
Poseidon
(in Film
)
-
Mixing mirth with more sophisticated moments, Something New
ultimately triumphs primarily because of the easy-going screen
chemistry generated by Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker..
|
Big
Momma's House 2 DVD (in Film
)
-
Expect to sit stoned-faced throughout the duration of this
humorless
adventure. No logic, no laughs, just a textbook “take-the-money-and-run”
sequel.
|
The
Producers DVD (in Film
)
-
Lane and Broderick exhibit perfect timing acting, dancing and
singing
together from start to finish..
|
African
American Lives DVD (in Film
)
-
Alternatively emotional and informative, an overdue return-to-roots
saga
made possible through an unprecedented combination of DNA, genealogy
and
oral tradition.
|
ON
THE OUTS DVD (in Film
)
-
Shot documentary style against graphic urban backdrops in gritty
environs, the movie is nothing if not convincing in delivering
a gripping authentic air.
|
Art
School Confidential (in Film
)
-
Art School Confidential is an ingenious satire of the pretentious
mindset of the elitist art world from the perspective of a rapidly-disillusioned
kid who had no idea what he was getting into.
|
Munich
DVD (in Film
)
-
Riveting Spielberg Espionage Thriller Out on DVD
|
MISSION:
IMPOSSIBLE: 3 (in Film
)
-
Though the plot is a bit convoluted and Hoffman doesn’t
do much as the villain, there’s plenty of action and suspense
that will satisfy all those that want to see Cruise in high
gear and run like crazy
|
Water (in Film
)
-
There are many issues raised here and Mehta explores them to
a great degree. Water” is luminous, educational, and compelling.
|
La Mujer De Mi Hermano
(in Film
)
-
Notwithstanding its directorial weaknesses, the film is appealing
enough, albeit in a telenovela sort of way, to leave a lasting
impression on American audiences.
|
Akeelah and
the Bee (in Film
)
- This touching tale shares a bounty of uplifting messages while
taking you on an emotional roller coaster ride guaranteed to leave
you wiping away the tears, and on more than one occasion.
