![]() Mighty disappointing. Denzel and a cast of Americans fail to capture the spirit of Jamaica in this witless romp. Even the upbeat Jamaican music – always a treat – can’t save this awkward star vehicle from its contrived runnings. Roger Ebert gave The Mighty Quinn four stars! What was he smok… |

![]() Simon Pegg playes Dennis Doyle, a man who ditches his pregnant fiance at the alter. Years later, he turns in to a loser-type working as an out of shape security guard. When he discoveres his ex Elizabeth (Thandie Newton) has a rich, successful, friendly, marathon-running new boyfriend – he decide… |

![]() An amiable dramedy that’s not very dramatic or funny, this star-studded movie plays like a full employment program for young Hollywood. Singles (especially of the female persuasion) and just-marrieds might find it worth seeking out. For the rest of us, there are worse ways to pass the time on a…

![]() A quirky and somewhat dark comedy about an astronomer who follows his former fiancee to NYC to stalk her. Yes, the premise of the movie is about stalking former love. Matthew Broderick plays Sam, who is reeling form getting a ‘Dear John’ letter from his true love, Linda (Kelly Preston). Sam tr… |

![]() A so-so Robin Williams flick about a 10 year old boy who ages in hyper-time. This should have been a cake-walk for Robin Williams — I mean think of all the silly shticks this could have generated. Instead, Robin comes across as not trying that hard and expectations are let down as the Robin Wil… |

![]() An original coming of age movie with a unique blend of humor, fantasy, and drama. Altar Boys follows a group of bored teenagers as they use pranks, wit, and creative dirty-comic book writing to get by in an oppressive Catholic school. Oh, and if you might take offense at a movie full of jabs at C… |

![]() How does a family react when their mom is dying? What does the dying person go through? This movie gives us a surprisingly realistic look though character studies that are sometimes funny but always heart-fealt and genuine. |

![]() This well mounted period piece delivers entertaining drama and comedy, notwithstanding Jessica Biel’s lame performance as the central character. In a movie taken from a play by the great Noël Coward, her performance recalls two of The Master’s…

![]() Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut nails her target audience’s erroneous zone: every good girl’s desire to breakout. Running riot in bohemian Austin’s roller-derby circuit gets ’er done, especially given how Texans revere contact sports. Still, star-driven female empowerment does not a transc…

A tale of childhood romance, growing up in the late 50s, and family drama. Rob Reiner assembled a great cast, and weaves a tale of giddy kid-crushes and the back and forth of young love. The movie ends up feeling like a cross between the TV show “Wonder Years†and “The Waltonsâ€. The latt… |
