  • Basic Instinct 2 Review
    By: Brian Marder March 31, 2006 9:23am EST
    Great sexpectations, nothing more: Despite potboiler moments, Basic Instinct 2 is much more fizzle than sizzle and arrives much too long after the once racy original. We can only hope that Sly uses this as his Rocky VI cautionary tale.
  • Dave Chappelle's Block Party Review
    By: Brian Marder March 03, 2006 11:05am EST
    Not a Dave Chappelle fan? Stay away from his Block Party, because it might force you to switch teams. The other 99.9 percent of the world will be in Chappelle heaven: the musical dream team is sublime, with an even better MC---that is, Master of Charisma... If only the film was longer!
  • Tyler Perry's Madea's Family Reunion Review
    By: Brian Marder February 24, 2006 10:37am EST
    Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion provides little more than very good acting. Tyler Perry’s uneven story matches his uneven story-telling and makes one wonder how this really works so well on the stage.
  • Big Momma's House 2 Review
    By: Brian Marder January 27, 2006 9:34am EST
    Big Momma's House 2 is precisely what you'd expect from a sequel whose title no longer has any affiliation with the current "story": a few harmless, lowbrow laughs, all of which are forever indebted to the formulas of crap past.
  • Doom Review
    By: Steven Trautmann October 21, 2005 2:05pm EST
    The uber-popular video game gets a big-screen treatment with a predictable plot and a tacked-on final sequence. But even with all the action, violence, mutant-zombies and lots of high-caliber weaponry, it just doesn't elevate a great game to a great movie.
  • North Country Review
    By: Brian Marder October 21, 2005 2:03pm EST
    North Country isn't for those short on patience or time. But for the rest of us, the superb acting and relevant theme makes it more than worth it.
  • Lords of Dogtown Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 03, 2005 5:38am EST
    Although thin on plot, Lords of Dogtown still might inspire you to grab your skateboard, drain your pool and rip it up. Or maybe not.
  • The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Review
    By: Shawn Dwyer April 29, 2005 7:17am EST
    Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy fans will admire the striking visual effects, laugh at familiar scenes and leave the theater satisfied, though a little disappointed with the left-out bits. But the inside jokes and loopy antics could throw the general population into a panic--a violation of the Guide's golden rule.
  • Fever Pitch Review
    By: Kit Bowen April 08, 2005 4:47am EST
    The Farrellys' endearing Fever Pitch might not hit it completely out of Fenway Park. But with the entirely likable and believable performances from its lead players, along with a real-life underdog baseball team that made history, it scores a triple.
  • Tyler Perry's Diary of a Mad Black Woman Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 25, 2005 5:45am EST
    If not for the larger-than-life multitasking by Tyler Perry, Diary of a Mad Black Woman would be just another tedious, over-the-top movie about self-discovery.
