Well, two out of six ain’t bad. ‘Star Wars’ fans will always have Episodes IV and V.
Newcomer Shane Carruth’s intricately plotted indie is that rare thing: an ultra-low budget time travel story. Surprisingly intelligent and involving until it gets wrapped up too tightly in its own paradoxes.
Jet Li still packs a punch. The preposterous plot does not.
Sort of ‘The Incredibles’ meets ‘Spy Kids,’ director/star Stephen Fung’s playful take on a family of martial arts experts does nothing new for the genre, but has a little fun going through the motions.
A fine, lived-in performance from Jeff Bridges (looking more and more like his dad everyday) anchors this well-written John Irving adaptation from writer-director Tod Williams.
Writer-director Paul Haggis weaves an intricate tale of lives that wander perilously close in a racially charged Los Angeles.
For a retelling of the Crusades, a time in history that by all accounts should be described as bloody and merciless, ‘Kingdom’ is evenhanded to a fault.
Surprisingly effective romantic comedy with Hugh Jackman at his most charming and Meg Ryan proving yet again why she has become the watermark against which all other female romantic leads are compared.
A tragic misstep for Liam Neeson, who is grossly miscast in this unwatchable attempt at a mob comedy.
I like Clint Eastwood. I like that he continues to make ponderous films that aren’t afraid to dissect the genres into which they fit so well.
