  • Wild Hogs Review
    By: Kit Bowen March 09, 2007 5:58am EST
    Wild Hogs is basically City Slickers meets Easy Rider--just a whole lot sillier without any sociological angst.
  • Casino Royale Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 17, 2006 11:59am EST
    If there must be a grittier, more human --and, dare we say, even more vulnerable--James Bond, then Daniel Craig is all THAT and a bag of chips. Kudos to the new Bond regime.
  • The Last King of Scotland Review
    By: Brian Marder September 29, 2006 6:22am EST
    A volcanic, career-defining performance from Forest Whitaker absolutely hijacks The Last King of Scotland and the Oscar race. He also rescues the movie from its disappointing--albeit powerful--mediocrity.
  • Hollywoodland Review
    By: Scott Huver September 08, 2006 5:04am EST
    Hollywoodland is a well-acted, moody and sumptuously evocative recreation of LA’s seemingly glamorous underbelly circa the 1950s but tries entirely too hard to be Chinatown.
  • Little Miss Sunshine Review
    By: Brian Marder July 27, 2006 4:55am EST
    Even with “Oscar season” yet to come, it’s safe to say that Little Miss Sunshine is one of the year’s very best. This inspirational, hilariously sad dysfunctional-family-road-trip dramedy offers absolutely everything--except pretension.
  • My Super Ex-Girlfriend Review
    By: Mike Szymanski July 21, 2006 5:12am EST
    How can a movie with such talented performers and such an original concept seem so entirely like a re-tread? Help them Superman!
  • 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.
  • An American Haunting Review
    By: Mike Szymanski May 08, 2006 10:46am EST
    Without gore and cheap scare tactics, An American Haunting is a well-told tale based on the much-documented legend of the Bell Witch in Tennessee.
  • Green Day Leads MTV Video Music Award Noms
    By: Hollywood.com Staff July 25, 2005 1:36pm EST
    The MTV Video Music Award nominations were announced today by MTV. This year's ceremony, to be hosted by rap mogul Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, will return to Miami, Fla., on August 28
  • Constantine Review
    By: Kit Bowen February 18, 2005 3:28am EST
    Although it might be unnecessarily complex in parts, Constantine still delivers a supernatural wallop, fueling a never-ending fascination with what lies beyond our world.
