  • Step Up Revolution Review
    By: Jenni Miller July 27, 2012 7:23am EST
    Leave the 'Revolution' at home and just dance.
  • SXSW 2012: '21 Jump Street,' 'Cabin in the Woods' Lead the Fest's Full Slate
    By: Matt Patches February 01, 2012 9:59am EST
    New TV Show from Judd Apatow also set to premiere.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Bridge to Terabithia Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 16, 2007 4:45am EST
    Imaginative, touching and keenly attuned to the coming-of-age genre, Bridge to Terabithia is a welcomed breath of fresh air in the stale family movie arena.
  • We Are Marshall Review
    By: Fred Topel December 22, 2006 4:43am EST
    You know how it begins and you know how it ends, but We Are Marshall will still make a sports fan cheer. Its still the same old triumph against the odds, but it's a solid version of that.
  • Invincible Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 25, 2006 7:58am EST
    It’s hard to knock something as inspiring as a true story about a local guy, with no football experience, trying out for his home pro team and making the cut. But Invincible does nothing to improve on the already very tired sports underdog theme.
  • Monster House Review
    By: Brian Marder July 21, 2006 5:13am EST
    In the age of movies as financial entities, it’s hard to see precisely which “group”--age or otherwise--Monster House appeals to. But one possible explanation is that, aside from the loud-criers “group,” it may just appeal to everyone.
  • Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 16, 2006 5:25am EST
    It’s really unnerving to have to sit through a second Garfield when the first was just so excruciating. But alas, here we are again--and now there’s two of them. Joy.
  • The Polar Express Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 10, 2004 8:37am EST
    Even though it may lack a human touch here and there, The Polar Express is still a brilliant effort in CGI-animation and will certainly evoke the Christmas spirit in us all.
