Eragon is laughably bad, mind-bogglingly derivative, and easily one of the worst movies of the year.

Empire is an entertaining, colorful, action-filled crime story with an intimate heart.

It may be the most winning, smile-inducing Hollywood action flick of the summer.

Yet another light weight PG-13 film that poses rather well as an honest to goodness horror film.

The type of film I would call eternally frustrating. Boasting a solid cast and an amazing look, the film is a mishmash of film noir, mystery and bluesy big band song and dance numbers that on a surface level play brilliantly.

Maybe Banderas wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the Taken or John Wick franchises, which is entirely understandable. For a man used to covering a wide range of genres, the role of the older action star is one with a certain degree of cultural cache. The Enforcer, though, just isn’t the right vehicle.

Steer clear of Balls of Fury for as long as you draw breath. Period.

Radio is a film many people may be tempted to laugh off as button pushing feel-good fluff. Before doing so, they might want to ask themselves just what it is they find so funny about a little peace, love and understanding.

Even with a look at many of these people's relationship problems, there's nothing remotely interesting to listen to when they talk. In this case, it's the fault of the script, which doesn't provide much of anything interesting to keep it going for as long as it does.

Abandoned delivers tension with a more nuanced approach to a particularly emotionally vulnerable stage of life.

Flight Risk is a fun yet simple and straightforward thriller where you have a general sense of where things are headed at first, and then Gibson pulls in a surprise or two or three.

Strong performances and moody cinematography make this film worth staying awake for, despite many pensive, hypnotically paced sequences.

The most painful part of seeing this movie is not the fact that it fails to deliver but that it actually came close.

This is a film which resonates on a surprising number of levels. But the level on which it undoubtedly works best is the victim-goes-postal-and-takes-the-law-into-his-own-hands level.

Sure, the dialogue is absolutely atrocious, the acting sucks, Eric Roberts is a co-star, the action is lame and the fighting is boring. But all of this makes for one hilarious viewing experience. DOA is the sort of film you’ll want to watch with a drunken crowd of your friends.

American Hangman makes a mystery out of a few things that are too easy to guess, so it takes a while to get going. However, thanks to sharp direction, an original take on the dramatic police procedural, and a truly excellent, very game cast, the movie is a worthwhile 100-minute watch.

Not that there isn't a story at work here; there indeed is, but only just enough to sustain the action.

Remember when John Hughes made small, original, oh say, GOOD movies?

Everyone has defined, and distinct characters and no one is phoning it in. Just sit back and enjoy this unique romantic comedy.

The oh-so-convenient convergence of plot threads at the climax make the film feel that much more run-of-the-mill.

It is impossible to say whether the premise or its execution is more fatal in "Death to Smoochy." One would expect something greater out of the talents assembled.

Sellers' comic mastery is completely fumbled by Martin and director Shawn Levy.

Preposterous but entertaining, Jurassic World: Dominion not only finds new ways to inspire the awe and wonder sorely lacking from previous installments, but it also recaptures some of that Spielberg magic.

It’s rarely clever enough to be funny nor frightening enough to be suspenseful; leaving it to sag like Sandler’s cargo shorts.

The 7 rating is for his movie. Vance himself, in his preachy, condescending book, gets it wrong.

Offers neither horror nor style.

It is an anxiety-inducing production that is bolstered by the astounding performances of Patric and Krause. While the ending is weak, two-thirds of the film works so wonderfully it is still worth watching.

I wasn’t much scared by anything in Final Destination 2 which is silly and illogical.
