A pitch-perfect parody of over-the-hill action heroes nails and sustains the right tone throughout. Of course, when you’ve got Helen Mirren stationed behind a mounted machine gun, how can you fail?

A great exercise in low budget filmmaking but not much of a monster movie.
This American remake of 2008’s small Swedish gem is a valiant effort but rarely evokes the eerie essence of the original.
Gordon Gekko is back – and so is Oliver Stone. Both are in top form in this expertly-crafted sequel which is every bit as slick, clever and, yes, relevant as you’d want it to be.
Like one of its lumbering undead, this video game franchise is hard to kill. The fourth entry is less about zombie mayhem than about progressing a larger story arc – if anyone still cares.
This overly self-aware teen comedy strives to be a "Clueless" or "Mean Girls" but, like its heroine, it just doesn’t quite fit in.
Robert Rodriguez finally delivers on the promise of 2007’s "Grindhouse" with this gleefully campy Mex-ploitation flick about a knife-wielding anti-hero doling out bloody slices of justice.
If you ignore the marketing, this is actually a clever and creepy (if ultimately pointless) little thriller possessed by the soul of a horror movie.
Sweet, and very noisy, ensemble comedy lives up to its premise when it sticks closely to its neighborhood and its characters.
There’s a lot in this nostalgic Sylvester Stallone actioner that lives up to its title – the recycled plot, the forgettable characters, the monotonous violence – but it’s an undeniable kick to see these vets in action.
