The Oxford Murders Movie Review
Jul 29th
The Oxford Murders Movie Review, Disappointing, badly plotted thriller, let down by some dodgy acting, poor direction and a script that makes The Da Vinci Code look like a masterpiece.
Cats and Dogs Movie Review
Jul 29th
Cats and Dogs Movie Review, Although critter movies have performed extremely well at the boxoffice, “Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore” will put that trend to a tough test.
Get Low Movie Review
Jul 29th
Get Low Movie Review, No matter how many wily old Southern coots and rascals Robert Duvall has played, he always finds a way to play another one and make him a fresh, unique presence.
Charlie St. Cloud Movie Review
Jul 29th
Charlie St. Cloud Movie Review, Zac Efron may be the prettiest young actor in movies today — he’s like a preppy update of Shaun Cassidy in his teen-dream prime — but he also demonstrates that looks will get you only so far.
Dinner for Schmucks Movie Review
Jul 29th
Dinner for Schmucks Movie Review, There’s something a little “off” with Dinner for Schmucks. The premise, borrowed from Francis Veber’s 1999 French farce, The Dinner Game, hasn’t improved significantly as a result of its translation into English.
Salt Movie Review
Jul 25th
Salt Movie Review, “Salt,” a ludicrous but somehow credible spy thriller starring Angelina Jolie, delivers a swift, super-charged kick in the pants. Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, who may or may not be a Russian mole in the CIA.
Limbo Game Review
Jul 19th
Limbo Game Review, Videogames are an art form made up of visuals, sound, and a mysterious little something we call gameplay. Limbo is the perfect example of these three crafts working together in harmony to create something astounding.
Farewell (L’affaire Farewell) Movie Review
Jul 17th
Farewell (L’affaire Farewell) Movie Review, A film for those who love Arnold Schwarzenegger but not so much his take on politics, Farewell (or more precisely, L’Affaire Farewell) is a far shot from your typical American blockbuster, delivering both beauty and the brains to go with it.
Life During Wartime Movie Review
Jul 16th
Life During Wartime Movie Review, In revisiting his darkly comic 1998 ensembler “Happiness,” Todd Solondz may have made his best film with “Life During Wartime.”
Kisses Movie Review (2010)
Jul 16th
Kisses Movie Review (2010), The music of Bob Dylan winds through Lance Daly’s “Kisses” like the call of a twangy pied piper beckoning two preteen runaways deeper into the night as they wander through the streets of Dublin after dark at Christmastime.
Standing Ovation Movie Review
Jul 16th
Standing Ovation Movie Review, “Standing Ovation” is an innovative film in the sense that every minute or so it comes up with a different way of being annoying.
NCAA Football 11 Review
Jul 10th
NCAA Football 11 Review, College football’s toughest critics – the ones who agonize endlessly over the disaster that is the BCS or the unfair advantage that big-time conferences enjoy over their mid-major counterparts – are also its biggest fans.
APB Game Review
Jul 10th
APB Game Review, One of the hardest parts about reviewing an MMO is that the genre takes full advantage of being online and persistent.
Inception Movie Review
Jul 10th
Inception Movie Review, With “Inception,” his most ambitious (and outlandish) film to date, Christopher Nolan continues to demonstrate that he is one of the most audacious, inventive, and original filmmakers working in Hollywood today.
