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.

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 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.

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.

Movie review: Sex and the City
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.

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: 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!)

Movie Review: Baby Mama
Twice the cost of Juno, with less than half the wit.

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.

Movie review: The Ruins
Based on Scott Smith’s thriller from last year, the film is like the book on speed.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.
