    Nothing Like the Holidays
    Provides mostly entertaining spectacle.

    Saw III
    As much as you'd like the characters to become better people and beat Jigsaw's game, there is also a strong desire simply to watch violent spectacle. And somehow, there just isn't enough of the latter.

    Tau man ji D
    As a matter of fact, Initial D is an anti-car racing film. It's not about thrills; it's about how to perfect the art of drifting, philosophy, and how to transcend the human condition.

    Evening
    Evening”has so much going for it. A great cast, amazing visuals, and solid directing throughout. So why did I leave the film saying aloud to the parking lot, "I didn't like it."

    The Game Plan
    An amusing and timely distraction.

    Not Easily Broken
    Coupled with decent acting but average cinematography and editing, Not Easily Broken hums more fittingly to the tune of a LifeTime television event.

    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    Absolutely--four out of five stars for being cuter, funnier, and, besides, the character design far exceeded my expectations.

    Domino
    When a film is more conducive to a scholarly dissection than a consumerist examination, the film is incredibly clever, pragmatic, or pretentious. In the case of Domino, it's all of the above.

    Miracle at St. Anna
    So think of it this way: Miracle at St. Anna is a Spike Lee joint that possesses a European texture in the vein of Guillermo Del Toro and Jean Pierre-Jeunet. Imaginative, thought-provoking, and intense.

    Righteous Kill
    I'd like to recognize Russell Gewirtz for a screenplay that boasts humor, an impressive plot twist, and for setting up plenty of room for De Niro and Pacino to get their grooves back in order.

    How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
    Packs a full plate of gasps and giggles.

    Jumper
    The major weakness in Jumper is the piling on of action and narrative in the last ten to twelve minutes. It's as though the editor was rushing to meet a deadline and did the best he could with too much footage.

    The Happening
    Whether you’re a casual or an ardent follower of M. Night Shyamalan's films, The Happening could alienate or dominate your thinking cap. Remember--it's perfectly acceptable to laugh one second and shriek the next.

    The Ex
    Peretz's film continuously subverts the audience's expectations of what should likely happen given genre conventions.

    Saw VI
    Conveys a much louder political message and the implementation of violence reflects as much.
    • 29 Metascore

    The Collector
    The Collector’s destructive behavior enters the realm of the ridiculous before it ever touches the land of evil-badassness.

    Pulse
    Laughter erupts during scenes and certain close-ups that were designed to induce screams.

    Basic Instinct 2
    Fails as a sequel because we’re not in the 90s anymore. Gone are the days when characters could answer questions with questions and hypothetical situations and still sound clever and cool.

    The Comebacks
    It’s mostly eighty-four minutes of puns, double entendres, and Freudian slips.

    Bangkok Dangerous
    I didn't hate this film. I didn't find it to be a waste of time or brain waves. Given the reasons I saw the film, I suppose I'm 50% disappointed.

    Bride Wars
    A chick flick in the purest sense--it's not about men or falling in love--and is quite funny.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 60 Stina Chyn
    The Love Guru
    To be sure, The Love Guru is incredibly funny. Side-splitting laughter only stops when the movie does, so don't expect it to linger all the way to the parking lot.

    Walking on the Sky
    The cast is genuine in their emotions, the film depicts them that way, and the camera doesn’t feel compelled to go hand-held crazy--which is refreshing.
    • 19 Metascore
    • 50 Stina Chyn
    Underclassman
    If you have nothing more stimulating to do on a Friday night, Underclassman could provide the entertainment--not enlightenment--you seek.

    Ultraviolet
    Although it looks cool, appearances aren’t everything.
