  • Idlewild Review
    By: Brian Marder August 25, 2006 6:46am EST
    Idlewild goes for broke and often gets there. But it’s an absolutely beautiful disaster, one with no shortage of talent, ambition or future stars, both in front of and behind the lens.
  • Snakes on a Plane Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 18, 2006 1:32pm EST
    Come on, it’s a plane full of motherf%!#in' snakes with Samuel L. Jackson doing the slicin’ and dicin’. What do you think I’m going to say?
  • Lady in the Water Review
    By: Kit Bowen July 21, 2006 5:13am EST
    The fantastical Lady in the Water—M. Night Shyamalan’s most wildly imaginative yet obscure work to date—will probably disappoint those looking for that certain Shyamalan je n’sais quoi. Still, you can’t fault the guy for being a true original.
  • 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.
  • Click Review
    By: Brian Marder June 23, 2006 7:31am EST
    Despite the grandiose concept, there’s nothing here we haven’t seen before, but Adam Sandler can still be relied upon for some decent laughs--and, in Click, maybe even a few tears.
  • X-Men: The Last Stand Review
    By: Kit Bowen June 05, 2006 1:42pm EST
    X-Men: The Last Stand falls somewhere between the plodding exposition of the first X-Men and the compelling, character-driven X2. In other words, its action-packed but lacks that certain mutant angst.
  • Over the Hedge Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 26, 2006 5:42am EST
    Leave it to a bunch of hilarious woodland critters to teach us suburbia-bound humans a few things about living life Over the Hedge.
  • 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.
  • 16 Blocks Review
    By: Kit Bowen March 03, 2006 7:25am EST
    One downtrodden detective looking for redemption. One star witness set to testify against corrupt cops who are gunning for him. 16 Blocks to the courthouse. You get the picture.
  • 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.
