Ok, so I put off seeing this for many years, but I finally bit the bullet and watched the teenage phenomena fueling Twilight. Well, apparently I wasn’t missing much. Other than the beautiful Washington rainy backdrop, it was an amalgam of unlikely events strung together to highlight the the tee… |

More wimpy than wicked, Oz the Great and Powerful unleashes plenty of sound and fury, signifying nothing more than a reminder that real movie magic doesn’t come from FX. It comes from charm and wit. IOW, this huge production seeks to recreate the timeless magic of The Wizard of Oz….

Slog-a-thon. Johnny Depp, great costars, fabulous visuals: all for naught. The fourth installment of Disney’s thrill ride franchise reinforces much, mostly that more is not more when it’s a mess. A convoluted plot about the search for the Fountain of Youth scaffolds countless action sequence…

A tangled web of storylines, inexplicable contrivances and desultory performances mark Spider-Man 3 as the end of the line for the original Spider-Man team. Thus it’s no surprise that the next Spidey movie will feature a new director and new actors. As for this installment, it’s barely OK f…

The Addams Family does the impossible. This big-budget, big-screen adaptation of the much-beloved ‘60s TV series makes banal the sophisticated quackery of the original, both the TV Land classic and Charles Addams’ seminal New Yorker cartoons. Sadly, the jokes – too on the nose – are blindingly …

James Bond is dead, literally and figuratively. Daniel Craig resurrected him better than any actor ever, but has now acquiesced to character suicide in the depressing and desultory No Time To Die. Sorry for the plot spoiler, but a lifetime of rushing to see James Bond movies is now yet one more…

Taylor Kitsch is John Carter, a civil war era yankee and indian fighter transplanted to Mars only to find himself in another fight. A fight for a hot woman and against bad guys bent on destroying the planet. This was a hodge-podge of a movie that tries to borrow from every Sci Fi film you’ve e…

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…

Stately to a fault, reverential to an extreme, The Grandmaster is kung fu cinema elevated to formal art. Stodginess aside, it no doubt lingers in the mind’s eye of hard core kung fu fans, let alone for the legendary Ip Man’s disciples. For the rest of us – focused on the Bruce Lee connection …

Hey, isn't that little Bruce Lee?
