Will eventually be remembered as a disposable farce, but one that leaves a happy memory.

Has its dull spots, and is unintentionally laugh-out-loud funny at times -- but isn't that what we expect?

A careful, intelligent, and seamless design that makes room for a couple of unexpected twists.

More focused and less preachy than its exploitation-riffing predecessor, the comparably shoddy Machete Kills nonetheless peters out in the homestretch (and, for some, surely sooner).

Struck by Lightning may appeal to fans of Colfer’s work on “Glee,” but as a film it’s utterly lacking in scope, depth or meaning beyond an immediate chuckle or two.

There’s gold in the premise of “The Purge” and its dismissal of subtlety. But like the residents of its world, when given the opportunity, it drops restraint and goes for blood.

(Ash and Russell) generate just enough tension to keep the audience interested.

Ride Along is a strong recommend when Hart is talking, but merely a mediocre attempt at a movie when he’s not.

The visual fireworks and catchy score just underline the extreme superficiality of the material.

Tired, overcomplicated mix of macho bullshit.

The action is the real star here, and it’s all good enough. It isn’t great – the aerial special effects are distractingly cheap – but at least there’s lots of it on display.

Faithful to the superficial thrills and flaws of the original.

Given Garant and Lennon’s background on “The State” and “Reno 911,” their scattershot approach as filmmakers isn’t especially surprising; for every oddly specific Shakespeare reference or detour to the local po-boy joint, there’s an ongoing parade of puke and an awful rubber suit with which to contend.

The first sixty minutes of Pompeii are awful, bordering on unwatchable... The final forty-five minutes of the movie however are, by sheer force of will, irrefutably entertaining. At least there’s raining death in the form of fireballs smashing up the place.

Let your children have their childhood while you have a rare, grown-up experience at the multi-plex for a change.

A generally dumb movie with a smart, appealing, gutsy leading lady.
