  • Fred Claus Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 12, 2007 10:44am EST
    Fred Claus is pure Vince Vaughn hijinks—but the PG, family-friendly mode may not be his most advantageous venue.
  • Things We Lost in the Fire Review
    By: Robert Sims October 19, 2007 6:10am EST
    It’s been a long time coming, but Halle Berry finally proves that her Monster's Ball Oscar win wasn’t a fluke. Too bad this slow and overwrought tearjerker is never as good as the heart-wrenching performances given by Berry and Benicio Del Toro.
  • 3:10 to Yuma Review
    By: Brian Marder September 07, 2007 6:32am EST
    There’s no true grit to be found in James Mangold’s fun but safe Western remake. Nitpicking, however, is no way to treat a movie that gives us two heavyweights like Russell Crowe and Christian Bale on top of their games.
  • Balls of Fury Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 31, 2007 11:38am EST
    The surprisingly funny Balls of Fury’s tagline may read, “A Huge Comedy with Tiny Balls,” but it has some big, brass ones, too.
  • The Invasion Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 17, 2007 10:41am EST
    Even though it’s a retread, The Invasion’s point of view on body snatching still elicits the right kind of creepy paranoia.
  • Stardust Review
    By: Robert Sims August 13, 2007 11:38am EST
    Stardust is so witty, enchanting and romantic, it’s destined to become The Princess Bride of the Harry Potter generation. 
  • I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 23, 2007 10:07am EST
    Chuck and Larry tries too hard to find the right mixture of Adam Sandler’s signature humor and poignancy. In other words, it’s only mildly humorous and comes across more preachy than meaningful.
  • Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 23, 2007 10:07am EST
    Less flash, more grit, The Order of the Phoenix is definitely the most introspective of the Harry Potter movies. If you’re expecting fast-paced wizardry action at every turn, however, you might be disappointed.
  • Delta Farce Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 01, 2007 5:53am EST
    It’s everything you’d expect from a lame comedy called Delta Farce, featuring three dopes in army gear on the movie poster.
  • Shrek the Third Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 25, 2007 7:49am EST
    Shrek the Third pretty much serves up the same tired fairytale shenanigans with little of the original’s magic. Still, the franchise’s undeniable charm alleviates some of the Third ’s banality.
