The 3D, as well as the rehashed plot, do little to enhance the frequently phenomenal dancing in this third "Step Up" film.
Sebastian Junger’s chronicle of a fourteen-month mission in Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley isn’t much of a documentary, but the undeniably harrowing footage should be required viewing.
A perfectly stupid and ultimately forgettable comedy from director Jay Roach that will, nonetheless, have you laughing even as the film dissolves from your memory.
Angelina Jolie’s half-baked actioner feels like it was unearthed from some pre-Iron Curtain time capsule. Maybe back then we would’ve bought the wildly improbable plot.
It’s no "Aliens", but it does have an intriguing setup, good pace and a surprisingly action-ready Adrien Brody.
