    The film's acting is superb. Best known as a gritty wiseass, Denis Leary creates a fine dramatic performance.
  1. Initially turns the dour field of psychiatry into an amusing, absurdist romp. Unfortunately, the further the film progresses, the more it relies on silliness and triteness for ever-less frequent laughs.

    The movie sucks. It's beneath Argento to be making such drek after so long a career. He's better than this.
  2. Dead Ant is not quite the slam dunk it could be, based on its concept and cast. However, the faults don’t deter from the sheer fun and energy of the production. Combine that with the very game cast, led by a dynamic and lively Jake Busey, and you get a recipe for a good time.
  3. There’s a great story buried somewhere deep within the desert that is Head Count – about a brotherly bond, about jealousies that assume anthropomorphic shapes, about a demon that literally reflects our insecurities. Ellen Callahan hints at those stories but ends up telling the most basic version.

    Solo Mio is good, sappy fun, and the perfect date movie for all the craziness going on in the world at the moment.
  4. Seriously, it's a bad sign for your "kids movie" when the kids in question are asking their parents, "When is something going to happen?"
  5. It’s a darkly funny allegory about technology with awesome practical gore.
  6. We Need to Do Something simply doesn’t have the character-centered backbone to create an engaging 96-minute long story. It’s painfully obvious that atmosphere and style were the priority even though the premise made it so that the characters took the spotlight.

    Gran Turismo captures a truly remarkable young man and his journey to professional legitimacy. This is for anyone needing a jolt to the system and focusing on getting back on one’s true path in life.

    It works because this isn't really a "disease" film, it's a love story. It just so happens one of the main characters has Tourette Syndrome. Thus, I too will take the easy way out and say, "it's a good love story...with a twitch."

    Decent in its special effects and has the advantage of having Hilary Swank and Aaron Eckhart in it.
  7. Not only harmless, but actually quite funny and charming.
  8. Luckily, the genuinely funny jokes far outnumber the duds in the film itself, which is helped by the generally energetic performances by Broken Lizard and their co-stars.
  9. 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.
  10. Red Right Hand fully delivers in the action realm.
  11. Washes away whatever unique filmmaking personality Franklin has.
  12. The surprisingly sweet Shallow Hal finds Peter and Bobby retreating to a gentler mode -- and, in the process, a far less funny one.
  13. Highly entertaining film.
  14. With this marvelous cast of characters and the comic brilliance of writer/director Greg Pritikin, nary a minute goes by that you're not slapping your knee with laughter.

    The wackiness that unfolds is boring, ridiculous and, to most, offensive.

    One of the more cheerfully dumb thrillers I've seen in a good long while.
  15. Gripping and mercifully short, it doesn’t quite achieve the status of cinematic gold. Perhaps it’s for the best, or Hayes may have fallen prey to his ambitions.
  16. The Longest Yard lives or dies with its physical humor, a form of recent comedy I like to call slapstick sadism.

    As far as its storytelling, it’s good but rarely rises to the level of inspiring. Fans of Tolkien are going to find a nice, comfortable place in this film, but walk away feeling like they could have dug deeper into this life.

    The last act of American Gun is quite possibly one of the most ridiculous and forced dramatic twists I've seen in years.

    Step Up doesn't want to be new, original, innovative, or fresh, and it makes a point of practicing that guideline at every chance.

    An extraordinarily charming movie.
  17. Is Mope a “must see?” If you love movies that start off insane and ends even crazier, then yes, Mope is a must see in every way!
  18. What keeps you rapt is that permeating, subtle feeling of sadness, of bitterness and regret. Whether it was an intentional choice in a “comeback” documentary remains debatable – but that’s what truly works about it, is its driving momentum.
