Latest Movie Reviews
 Ten, The | Rating: 2.5/4 |
|
| Robert Sims (Hollywood.com) Holy Moses! More absurd than enlightening, this gleefully rude but unfortunately hit-and-miss religious satire on the Ten Commandments stands no chance of becoming a Sunday school staple... |
|
| Ten, The | Rating: 2.5/4 |
|
| Scott Hoffman (Movie Picture Film) Somewhat of a random cult auteur, Wain, behind the enormously successful underground hit "Wet Hot American Summer" and the aforementioned canceled MTV sketch show... |
|
| Ten, The | Rating: 3.5/5 |
|
| Chris Cabin (filmcritic.com) In a sane, level-headed and clear-eyed world, early '90s sketch group The State (also a TV show) would still be practicing their ambitious and absurd brand of screwball comedy... |
|
| Ten, The | Rating: 2/4 |
|
| James Berardinelli (ReelViews) The Ten is a comedy about the unlikeliest of subjects: The Ten Commandments. When I use the term "comedy," I do so loosely. This is one of those films where the humor is of the hit-and-miss variety, and it misses more often than it hits... |
|
| Rocket Science | Rating: 4.5/5 |
|
| Zack Haddad (Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice) Hal Hefner (Reece Daniel Thompson) is a stuttering high school student who has the hardest of time even ordering pizza from the cafeteria lady... |
|
| Rocket Science | Rating: 5/5 |
|
| Mel Valentin (eFilmCritic.com) Everything looks to change, though, when Ginny Ryerson (Anna Kendrick), an upperclassman, recruits Hal for the debate club as her partner... |
|
| Rocket Science | Rating: 2.5/4 |
|
| James Berardinelli (ReelViews) Rocket Science is the feature debut of director Jeffrey Blitz, whose previous big-screen exposure was with the documentary Spellbound. In that one, Blitz looked at the highly competitive world of spelling bees... |
|
| Becoming Jane | Rating: 4/5 |
|
| Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com) The youngest of the Austen clan, Jane (Anne Hathaway) suffers from the ridiculous notion that she will marry for love and her writing will support her... |
|
| Becoming Jane | Rating: 2/5 |
|
| Anthony Quinn (The Independent) This period squib purports to make a romantic disappointment of Jane Austen's youth the defining moment of her fledgling career. It derives from research into a brief attachment that the 20-year-old writer enjoyed with a swaggering young Irishman named Tom Lefroy... |
|
| Becoming Jane | Rating: 3/4 |
|
| Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces... |
|
| Becoming Jane | Rating: 2.5/4 |
|
| James Berardinelli (ReelViews) Becoming Jane looks at the life of Jane Austen through the prism of her novels. The film is a semi-fictional biography of the esteemed author; although it incorporates people and events from her life, it also takes liberties with known events... |
|
| Stardust | Rating: 3/4 |
|
| James Berardinelli (ReelViews) Stardust, based on the acclaimed illustrated novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess, takes viewers to the mystical land of Stormhold, where stars walk, ships fly, and magic is real... |
|
| El Cantante | Rating: 1/5 |
|
| Peter Sobczynski (eFilmCritic.com) Based on the evidence seen here, Lavoe appeared to have a life that was tailor-made for a rags-to-riches-to-downfall-to-death melodrama. In the early scenes... |
|
| El Cantante | Rating: 1/5 |
|
| Sean O'Connell (filmcritic.com) Leon Ichaso's El Cantante, a frenzied and paper-thin attempt to lionize beloved salsa singer Hector Lavoe (played by Marc Anthony), convinced me it's time to put the musical-biopic genre on the shelf for a few years... |
|
| El Cantante | Rating: 1.5/4 |
|
| Susan Tavernetti (Palo Alto Online) Close your eyes and concentrate on Marc Anthony performing salsa sensation Hector Lavoe's hits. Watching director Leon Ichaso's ("Pinero") camera-on-crack biopic of the Puerto Rican-born vocalist may be hazardous to your health... |
|
| El Cantante | Rating: 2/4 |
|
| Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times) The godfather of salsa, Hector Lavoe (Marc Anthony, with Jennifer Lopez), rises to the top of the Latin music scene, only to become a victim of his own excesses in El Cantante... |
|
| Dans Paris | Rating: 4/5 |
|
| David Parkinson (Empire Magazine [UK]) With its elliptical structure, speeches to camera, stylised montages and countless references to the cinematic past, this dazzling homage to the French capital brims with audio-visual ideas... |
|
| Dans Paris | Rating: 2/5 |
|
| Robert Hanks (The Independent) A young man comes home to Paris for Christmas, after the breakdown of a relationship, and engages in emotional games with his younger brother. Underneath it all is a story of wrenching pain... |
