  1. Noonan's life is one few of us can comprehend, and Mac Intyre's documentary, A Very British Gangster, is like a Guy Ritchie film come to life, only with a better dressed cast.

    Again, if you love Lou Reed or even like Lou Reed a little, musically this film is worth your time.

    Mortimer delivers as a mentally disintegrating wife, but it's Harrelson who provides the most fun, playing against type as the down-home Roy.
  2. Better than the first in some ways: the superfluous Agent Meyers is gone, Doug Jones is great as Abe, and Strauss is an amusing addition (if almost structurally identical to Kroenen).

    Many have described "Journey" as a 3D film dumbed down to a theme park attraction. However, its visual splendor would have left Walt Disney weeping and Sergei Eisenstein preaching of cinema's second coming.
  3. While Fryar is a charming man and his work clearly deserves recognition, A Man Called Pearl is an obvious case of building a three-story house on a one-story foundation. Really, can you make a feature-length film about a man who carves unique shapes out of trees, shrubs and bushes?

    The film is most remarkable when it exposes the ease with which the press and a self-obsessed judge can pervert the country's justice system.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Tedious and ultimately pointless film.
  4. The July 4th release is fitting, for Thompson was a true patriot. His longstanding association with the counterculture notwithstanding, Thompson loved this country and the things it once stood for, and his voice is sorely missed today, and whether you were a fan of his work or not, you'll find Gonzo well worth your time.

    If you have ever experienced the crushing effect of young love, you owe it to yourself to check out this gem of a dark comedy.

  5. Starts off promisingly, but gets bogged down when it abandons humor for gravity.
  6. Tell No One is a French variation on "The Fugitive," but it's a more subtle, discreet animal.
  7. A thoroughly enjoyable film, and ranks with Pixar's best.
  8. For all of its shortcomings, Wanted is a strangely enjoyable flick.

    Here Breillat directs one of the most thrilling actresses working today, and the latter makes this calculated study into a tale brimming with passion and sorrow.
  9. Bottom line, what I took away from this movie was – that drunk guy sure was funny.

    This documentary's narrative feels deliberately chronological, as the storyline adheres to the major steps of Trumbo's career. Nonetheless, the film realizes many great moments to make the writer's story – often reduced to a footnote – into an intriguing one.
    • 47 Metascore

    In the end, Full Grown Men tells an amusing tale, and the cameo scenes from Alan Cumming and Amy Sedaris are not to be missed.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    The movie is fun, and hilarious, because of its child-like whimsy.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.

    In the end, don't go see this if you are looking for an intellectual film. If you're into seeing some fun, mindless action in a faithful Marvel comic adaptation for a couple hours, then go see the Hulk smash some stuff.

    The faux-doc/tone-poem hybrid My Winnipeg is a worthy product.

    I also think Herzog is making a case for those crazy enough to follow their dreams, even when they take you to the end of the earth. Literally.
  12. It's impressive enough to look at, and the voice talent – especially Black and Hoffman - doesn't disappoint, but all the CGI wankery and high-end talent only barely allows Kung Fu Panda to rise above cliché.
  13. In truth, there's not much point to reviewing Adam Sandler comedies. They're almost always widely panned, and yet still manage to earn well over $100 million domestically. Don’' Mess with the Zohan looks to continue both trends, even if exaggerated Yiddish accents and sex with the elderly only take one so far.
  14. Inert, inept epic.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Bell's documentary is an absolute must see for anyone taking part in any kind of debate about steroids.
  15. This is a really small film, shot in 19 days, and it's a little rough around the edges, but it's got a huge comic heart that's undeniable.
    • 51 Metascore

    To be sure, it's a very pretty, well acted production; however, that doesn't make up for the fact that I hated every minute of it.
