Director John Woo puts his trademark Hong Kong style to good and bad effect in this predictable sequel based – seemingly in theme music only – on the TV series.
What Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise have done in ‘Minority Report’ is give a multi-million dollar facelift to some tried-and-true storytelling. The resulting face while beautiful, however, has some flaws on closer inspection.
Just when you thought "Rocky" was the only way to do a boxing movie. Hilary Swank proves that "Boys Don’t Cry" was no fluke, and Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman prove that they can be more interesting talking about socks (literally) than most actors can be during a typical ‘Oscar Clip.’
It’s a new era for Christopher Guest, as the man behind "Waiting for Guffman" and "Best in Show" turns his satirical eye toward the folk music genre with results that are more tribute than parody. Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara are touching as a reunited singing duo.
With the ultimate backstage pass, documentarians Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky craft a long but interesting look at the lives of rock’s angriest band who, perhaps not surprisingly, have some demons to work out.
A virtually identical remake of the 1997 blockbuster which offers almost nothing new and suffers from a sloppy, unsubstantial plot and the loss of Vincent D’Onofrio as an interesting villain. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are fun as always, but the script feels like scenes that didn’t make the cut in the first film.
The Farrelly brothers’ schizophrenic new comedy doesn’t quite live up to its potential, but along the way it pushes the envelope of anally-obssesed humor, even by their standards.
Writer-director Christopher Nolan’s brilliantly crafted thriller which follows (in reverse) a man with no short-term memory on the trail of his wife’s killer.
If the Farrelly Brothers were able to make a family comedy it would look something like this over-the-top but nonetheless charming film about a disastrous meeting between a father and hopeful son-in-law.
SNL writer/co-star Tina Fey introduces the John Hughes genre to a new generation with a witty, knowing script and a perky performance by Lindsay Lohan as a homeschooler making her way through Junior year in high school. It’s not a classic, but it’s an above-average and refreshingly smart teen comedy.
