  • The Happening Review
    By: Pete Hammond June 13, 2008 5:48am EST
    Although it has some effective moments and a clever premise, M. Night Shyamalan’s latest thriller is short on thrills. Not a whole lot HAPPENS in The Happening.
  • Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day Review
    By: Betsy Bozdech March 07, 2008 4:13am EST
    A charming mix of screwball comedy and poignant romance, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is lighthearted period fun.
  • P.S. I Love You Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 21, 2007 12:29pm EST
    P.S. I Love You isn’t as pathetically sappy as the title might sound. OK, maybe it is a little, but the film is still a serviceable romantic flick guaranteed to produce sighs and tears.
  • Atonement Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 07, 2007 12:17pm EST
    Atonement follows the grand tradition of sweeping romantic period films, alternating between lush beauty and stark realism; it grabs your heart and doesn’t let go.
  • The Savages Review
    By: Brian Marder December 01, 2007 9:56am EST
    Much like the title family it depicts so well, The Savages is constantly at odds with itself--hilarious yet heartbreaking, warm yet frigid. The result is one final contradiction: a movie that is tough to swallow, yet one of the year’s best.
  • Bratz Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 03, 2007 5:36am EST
    The derivative Bratz is a great big pink marshmallow of a movie, aimed at one demographic only: tween girls into fashion and lip gloss. Anyone else, enter at your own risk.
  • Are We Done Yet? Review
    By: Robert Sims April 04, 2007 5:41am EST
    Are We Done Yet?—the unwarranted sequel to Are We There Yet?—will have parents quickly asking themselves the same question as Ice Cube clumsily channels his inner Bob Vila to rebuild his dream house.
  • The Hitcher Review
    By: Brian Marder January 19, 2007 11:55am EST
    There’s not a shred of originality to be seen in The Hitcher, but it’s still enough of an assault on two of the five senses to tide you over till the next horror remake.
  • Charlotte's Web Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 15, 2006 4:43am EST
    Although Charlotte's Web suffers a little from Babe envy, it is still a very faithful and endearing live-action adaptation of the beloved children’s classic. It's the talking pig movie for the next generation!
  • The Holiday Review
    By: Kit Bowen December 11, 2006 5:47am EST
    Watching The Holiday is a little like ordering a sticky cinnamon bun: You know the gooey, warm sweetness will taste good, but you’ll feel guilty eating it.
