The Town Movie Review (4.8/5)
The Town Movie Review, I found it amusing that posters and trailers for The Town, Ben Affleck’s mesmerizing tale of bank-robbing Boston townies, conspicuously avoid mentioning its director by name.
Easy A Movie Review (4.5/5)
Easy A Movie Review, Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) was a social zero who barely registered a blip on the radar at Ojai North High until the fateful Monday morning she inadvertently started a rumor about herself.
Eat Pray Love Movie Review
Eat Pray Love Movie Review, Eat Pray Love,” in which Julia Roberts plays the writer Elizabeth Gilbert—a divorcée looking for truth in highly photogenic locales—dribbles on for an eternity, sometimes intelligently and companionably, sometimes vacuously.
The American Movie Review
The American Movie Review, Of the most visually thrilling escapist yarns ever made. Italian golden age cinema takes on a gun fetish.
Machete Movie Review
Just because Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete” revolves around timely issues like anti-immigrant xenophobia and Hispanic stereotyping doesn’t mean he gives them the respect and critical treatment they deserve.
Takers Movie Review
Takers Movie Review, Watching “Takers,” a heist movie that posits itself as a “Heat” for the post-Pacino generation, is like flipping through an issue of Gentlemen’s Quarterly.

Centurion — Movie Review
Centurion movie review, BRITISH writer-director Neil Marshall has stolen a march on Hollywood with this hard-boiled widescreen war movie.
Nanny McPhee Returns Movie Reviews
Nanny McPhee Returns Movie Reviews, Pigs fly and perform a Busby Berkeley-style water ballet. Maggie Gyllenhaal sports a posh British accent. Everybody steps in dung repeatedly.
These are the high points of “Nanny McPhee Returns,” an overlong and overproduced sequel to the dimly recalled 2005 family flick written by and starring Emma Thompson as the poor kid’s Mary Poppins
The Switch Review
The Switch Review, “The Switch” begins with the sort of promise that might as well be taken as a warning. A narrator riffs on timing, in particular, romantic timing. There are very few instances of true synchronicity, he muses. Most of us make our way to each other by a series of odd collisions and tender compromises.
The Oxford Murders Movie Review
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
