Worth seeing, albeit plenty disappointing, The Tourist proves little more than an exercise in high style. Ogling beauty, the movie fetishizes Angelina Jolie and Venice, its grand hotels, sleek wooden motorboats and tiny arched bridges a gorgeous platform for her turn as The Most Beautiful Woma…

Happy Endings drew me in while channel surfing, and then turned me into an emotional captive. “Not a very good movie” I’d think, but then another emotional car-wreck would happen and I’d get transfixed anew. Was there a happy ending in the end? Sadly not. Satisfying dramatic payoff? Nope, not t…

Maggie sings a cheesy song, well

As tedious as it is funny, though it is damn funny on occasion, this “romantic comedy” plumbs new depths in its hunt for laughs, plowing the nether regions of slacker society as it were. That it succeeds often enough to avoid complete disaster is a credit to kitsch auteur Kevin Smith, though thi… |

A farcical feast at the table of contemporary Germany, Soul Kitchen’s recipe exceeds its ingredients, especially its barely OK screenplay. Seeking to satire the landscape of today’s melting-pot Western society, it ends up as little more than amusing and ultimately tiring. Still it’s worth see…

The trailer kinda works, like the movie

The NY Times’ take on the banking crisis endgame gets reenacted in this made-for-HBO docudrama. Notwithstanding the Big Lie told in the middle, the movie otherwise seems to competently essay the mechanics of the fall of Lehman Brothers, AIG and the imposition of TARP. The Big Lie comes when t…

Second-rate performances by first-rate stars in a second-rate thriller with a heavy-handed political agenda make Arbitrage a third-rate movie. Don’t believe the praise it’s received from the Mainstream Media. They’re in love with writer-director Nicholas Jarecki’s politics more than his movie…

The movie's lone shining star: Tim Roth

A hypocritical indictment of conspicuous consumption, this bargain-basement satire never strikes beyond the obvious. Nominally attempting to bury the cult of brands, The Joneses instead praises them – name dropping and extolling cars, fragrances, golf clubs and all the effluvia touted in the a…

Amber Heard: Generic hottie, generic ...

Great concept, strong cast, crummy movie. I’m probably not part of this movie’s target market, though I loved Thelma & Louise. But I found Mad Money silly and boring. Even as an airplane movie, it barely passed the time. |

Comedically bankrupt, with nary a laugh in the entire movie. Some appealing performances can’t rescue it from playing like a 3rd rate Devil Wears Prada. Admittedly, I’m outside this movie’s target demographic. Still, stuck inside an airplane with noth… |

The trailer was funny. It was. Problem is, the trailer delivered the movie’s one big joke, which itself isn’t even funny in the drawnout context of this stinker. The movie itself isn’t funny, isn’t cute, isn’t sexy. Death at a funeral? More like death at the movies. The producers’ M.O. … |
