“Ghost World” director Terry Zwigoff and Billy Bob Thornton team up to create the most gloriously profane – and hilarious – anti-Christmas movie ever put to film (hopefully).
From lesbians and transvestites to homosexuals and transvestites, Pedro Almodóvar explores the aftermath of pedophilia in the priesthood. Working within the film noir style, the usually estrogen-heavy storyteller generates less than his usual emotion, but that comes with the genre.
Over-long, over-blown, underwhelming sequel to the 1995 buddy movie which looks quaint by comparison. Martin Lawrence generates a few genuine laughs, but bombastic director Michael Bay oughta have his artistic license revoked.
That rare occasion when the homage actually makes the original better, Mario van Peebles’ tribute to his father’s pioneering independent film is as touching and polished as the original was raw and gritty.
Despite a stellar performance by Cate Blanchett as Katharine Hepburn, the story of Howard Hughes never takes off thanks to a directionless script by Hollywood biopic go-to-guy John Logan and a weak performance by Leonardo DiCaprio as the title. Even director Martin Scorcese is on auto-pilot for this one.
Greg Kinnear gives the performance of his life in Paul Schrader’s brutal biopic of late "Hogan’s Heroes" star Bob Crane.
For better or worse, a worthy addition to Mike Myers’ relentlessly stupid spy franchise, which rests squarely on the shoulders of its lovable and undeniably talented star.
In 1997’s ‘Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,’ writer-star Mike Myers was saddled with the task of creating a 90-minute film based on a one-joke Saturday Night Live character. The catch is that the character in question had never appeared on SNL. What does he do for a follow-up?
Finely crafted thriller with bravura performances all around and an over-the-top, thoroughly ludicrous surprise finale.
Stellar performances from Al Pacino and Jamie Foxx can’t save Oliver Stone’s testosterone-fueled, overlong, would-be morality play from lacking a point.
