21st century war gets personal in the heart-pounding Eye in the Sky, one of the best 21st century war movies yet.1 Helen Mirren’s steely colonel directs a global military response to Islamist terror, adroitly coordinating activity in Kenya, Nevada, Hawaii, Bejing and Singapore from two rooms …

Black Snake Moan? More like Bad Play Miss — solid acting and really great music don’t fully rescue a race-baiting story in an overly-stylized production. One glance at the poster makes BSM’s prurient appeal undeniable: pretty little Christina Ricci in Daisy Dukes and cut-off Rebel T-Shir…

A seriously cheesy course in death and dying delivered in High Comik style, TS operates as a hard slog through one well done set piece after another. This becomes rather turgid after a while, though the steel gray visuals remain mordantly engaging. Fortunately there are no gray ladies in the …

This engrossing and cleverly constructed family/heist picture features a host of great performers in front of the camera and the estimable Sidney Lumet behind it. The movie effectively flashes back and forth in time, showing how a couple of ne’er-do-well brothers ensnare everyone around them in … |

“Cutesy,” Jack Nicholson’s curmudgeonly character observes about the term “Bucket List.” The same can be said about this movie, hardly an endorsement other than for those seeking uplifting fare about dealing with cancer. Die hard Nicholson and Morgan Freeman fans might also enjoy it, since two … |
