The Curse of Frankenstein

New rules for the invulnerability game.

Movie review: Wanted

The fact that Wanted doesn’t take full advantage of its advertised strong points makes it a minor disappointment.

Movie review: WALL-E

Even with a few minor quibbles, WALL-E is still light years ahead of most other animated movies.

Movie review: The Love Guru

On first viewing, The Love Guru is just a middling comedy with too much emphasis on the low-brow, but it could improve with time.

Friday, June 20, 2008

Movie review: Get Smart

Could stand to have gotten smarter, actually.

Steve Carell's Maxwell Smart is a far more complicated and caring individual than his predecessor in the role. But is that really what audiences are wanting?

Movie review: Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

On the one hand, the movie's based on a line of dolls. On the other, there are some great actors involved. Oh, the humanity!

Guru continues a racist filmmaking tradition

Silly and all in good fun, or perpetuating intolerance? You decide.

Movie review: The Happening

"There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear."

In this Shyamalan nightmare scenario, global warming turns out to be the least of our worries.

Movie review: The Incredible Hulk

Not incredible, maybe - but certainly blockbuster.

It's big! It's mean! It's GREEN! It's Ed Norton's alter-ego!

Movie review: You Don’t Mess with the Zohan

Sandler starring as Zohan, an Israeli counter-terrorist agent, makes about as much sense as Judd Apatow co-writing the film.

Friday, June 6, 2008

Movie review: Kung Fu Panda

Crouching tiger, hidden raccoon.

Computing power coupled with creativity: it's a beautiful thang.

Movie review: The Strangers

Liv in a nightie, menaced by bagheads. (That's about it, really.)

The idiot face of faceless menace.

It may not have the action of the other big summer films, but as far as quality of film goes, Sex and the City is superior in every meaningful way.

Movie review: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Starts with a bang - ends with a tribute.

Indy's fists haven't deserted him - though his ability to deliver rapid-fire tongue-twisting exposition begins to present a problem.

Thursday, May 22, 2008

Movie review: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

The Pevensie siblings return to the magical, mystical land of New Zealand. (I mean, Narnia.)

Centaurs and minotaurs and wise-cracking animals; kids are gonna love it. (Adults? Maybe not so much.)

Movie Review: Speed Racer

The movie is the truest adaptation of anime ever before set to mainstream film.

Friday, May 9, 2008

Movie review: What Happens in Vegas

... is hardly worth mentioning, it turns out.

Oddball pairing of Cameron and Ashton may appeal to - um - hold on now, let me think...

Friday, May 9, 2008

Movie review: Iron Man

"The Dude" as a bald villain? Say it ain't so!

The bad boy of cinema dons a full metal jacket - and it fits like an Isotoner.

This summer's line up packs sports inspired movies for the whole family.

D-FW experts of all kinds recruited for upcoming Expelled panel

So, a biologist, film professor and Creation Institute editor walk into a theater...

Movie review: Deception

It's more of a naughty thriller than an erotic one, actually.

As we've often been warned, indulgence in the demon weed can lead to more dangerous things. Such as membership in swank sex clubs and ten million dollars. (Hey, gimme a toke a' that!)

Friday, April 25, 2008

Movie Review: Baby Mama

Twice the cost of Juno, with less than half the wit.

Thursday, April 24, 2008

Movie review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Marshall follows producer Judd Apatow's successful formula almost to a tee and is one of the funniest films so far this year.

Friday, April 18, 2008

Movie Review: Prom Night

A prom night you probably won't remember.

Saturday, April 12, 2008

Movie review: Smart People

In which Ellen Page plays a model Young Republican.

Good-hearted relationship dramedy serves up life lessons, Beaujolais.

Friday, April 11, 2008

Movie review: Street Kings

Phone Book Tom's gonna need more vodka.

Dishing out law and order - 230 copper-jacketed grains at a time.

Friday, April 11, 2008

Movie review: The Ruins

Based on Scott Smith’s thriller from last year, the film is like the book on speed.

Friday, April 4, 2008

Movie review: Leatherheads

Be careful when telling war stories to sexy news reporters.

George Clooney directs himself - and that guy from The Office - in a movie about the dawn days of professional football.

Friday, April 4, 2008

Movie review: Run Fatboy Run

Now with online game capability!

It's all about running - and running away.

Wizard of Oz screening to be accompanied by Dallas Symphony Orchestra

"To see a film in a performance hall such as the Meyerson, with live orchestral accompaniment, is to see it in its ancestral environment, where the idea began as opera."

Movie review: Shutter

Scenes from an ill-fated marriage.

If they'd simply upgraded to digital imaging technology, this whole tragic set of circumstances could have been avoided.

Saturday, March 22, 2008

Movie review: 10,000 B.C.

Days of mammoths, shamans and hairspray.

This decorative big screen hullabaloo is an amalgam of more movies than you can possibly imagine - so I've identified them all for you.

Friday, March 7, 2008

Movie Review: Penelope

Makes you think twice about pigotry.

Tuesday, March 4, 2008

Movie review: Semi-Pro

Grin and bear it. (If you're so inclined.)

Bear-baiting gone bad marks the highlight of lightweight Will Ferrell sports comedy vehicle.

Friday, Feb. 29, 2008

Movie review: Vantage Point

Supposedly told in Rashomon style, Point tries to give the audience a feel for a crime from every conceivable perspective, but in the end, it overreaches its bounds.

Movie review: Be Kind Rewind

To swede or not to swede? (Got $20?)

Jack Black and Mos Def hold down the (video) store.
