  • Charlie Bartlett Review
    By: Brian Marder February 22, 2008 4:45am EST
    Much like its title character, Charlie Bartlett just doesn’t fit in with its peer group (teen movies and psychology dramedies). And both the character and movie go to show you that sometimes it’s good--in this case very good--not to fit in.
  • 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.
  • The Pursuit of Happyness Review
    By: Brian Marder December 20, 2006 4:28am EST
    While The Pursuit of Happyness could very easily be subtitled The Pursuit of Sappyness, the terrific father-son dynamic between Will and Jaden Smith is enough to make for an effective tearjerker—barely.
  • Walk the Line Review
    By: Brian Marder November 18, 2005 4:24am EST
    Walk the Line arguably boasts two of the most dazzling, Oscar-worthy performances of the year from Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. It's just a shame the biopic isn't as brave. After all, Johnny Cash wasn't "The Man in Black" just for his wardrobe alone.
  • Good Night, and Good Luck. Review
    By: Sharon Knolle October 07, 2005 1:54pm EST
    Although wryly directed by George Clooney and supported by compelling performances, especially from David Strathairn, Good Night, and Good Luck is still the cinematic equivalent of unbuttered toast: dry, dry, dry.
  • Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 19, 2005 9:57am EST
    If you can use Jedi mind tricks to gloss over the trite dialogue and stiff acting, Revenge of the Sith is going to give you the big Star Wars payoff you've been waiting for. And we do mean big.
  • Alexander Review
    By: Steven Trautmann November 24, 2004 5:58am EST
    Oliver Stone has delivered the quintessential Hollywood version of Alexander. Action, sex, treachery, conspiracy, the film puts the "pick" in "epic."
  • 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.
