An awkward title and stilted premise suggest an awkward movie. It is. It’s also very British. Imagine that. Its two strong leads can’t do much but look great. Well they can also sound great, which they do. Still ain’t enough, as we say here in the States. Back to the title, what’s up…

It’s a stupid movie. If you don’t expect more than that, then you might enjoy it. Oooh. Well, this movie was rough for more than one reason. Expectations weren’t set too high going in, as with most present-day Adam Sandler flicks; however, I must admit that I was interested to see the interact… |

Senior citizen cinema is experiencing somewhat of a boomlet now. Quartet typifies the trend, spinning a gently comedic story about old flames who reunite in a retirement home for musicians and opera singers. It’s a pleasant enough movie, albeit too formulaic to be really interesting.

Now that's a retirement home.

White House Down is bombing at the box office, surprising both Hollywood and Channing Tatum fans.1 Stiff opening competition from The Heat is part of the reason, but this heavily hyped movie’s commercial coup de grâce is almost certainly its coup…

Good running-mates. Bad platform.

A merely OK movie can still be enjoyable if it’s got something outstanding about it. Primo buddies do the trick in 2 Guns. The rest of the cast and film? Less than stellar and just OK. Plus the title doesn’t help. 2 Guns is too blunt – so 2 speak. I wanted to bump up my final summa…

I took my wife to another movie that did not star Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchette, Eva Mendes, Marissa Tomei, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Ryan Gosling or Phillip Seymour Hoffman and it was called Closed Circuit. You must do these things to remember why you appreciate a fine performa…

Undefeated is a bit of a misnomer – the Manassas Tigers actually lost their first football game, and by hook and by crook – coach Bill Courtney took this scrappy underprivileged neighborhood team to Tennessee greatness. Bill himself narrates, so you get his story as well as his inspirational mes…

Aloha never coheres for Cameron Crowe, nor for stars Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone & Rachel McAdams. Plus the whole thing’s too clever by half, including Stone playing a character last name of Ng. Um, right. Crowe is apparently just another haole who got discombobulated by Aloha. Whitey.

Zero Motivation is a loafer’s view of army life, as embodied by the worst unit in the Israeli Army. Some girls just aren’t army-material, but that hardly matters in a country with universal service requirements. Instead of F-Troop, think *G-Tr…

Max’s trailer promised more than the movie delivers. The story of a military dog who aides a teen’s coming-of-age, it pulls heartstrings and warms the heart in equal measure, especially for those of us with a soft-spot for the US military and dogs alike. That’s me, which is why I fell hard for …

The trailer's better than the movie.
