  • Fred Claus Review
    By: Kit Bowen November 12, 2007 10:44am EST
    Fred Claus is pure Vince Vaughn hijinks—but the PG, family-friendly mode may not be his most advantageous venue.
  • King of California Review
    By: Jenny Peters September 14, 2007 7:31am EST
    Anyone with a dysfunctional family (admit it, that’s every one of us) will find something to laugh--and maybe cry--about in the quirky comedy King of California.
  • 3:10 to Yuma Review
    By: Brian Marder September 07, 2007 6:32am EST
    There’s no true grit to be found in James Mangold’s fun but safe Western remake. Nitpicking, however, is no way to treat a movie that gives us two heavyweights like Russell Crowe and Christian Bale on top of their games.
  • Shoot 'Em Up Review
    By: Kit Bowen September 07, 2007 5:42am EST
    The excessive but wonderfully creative bloodlust in Shoot ‘Em Up takes glorified violence to a new level. Let’s just say the film lives up to its title.
  • The Invasion Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 17, 2007 10:41am EST
    Even though it’s a retread, The Invasion’s point of view on body snatching still elicits the right kind of creepy paranoia.
  • 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.
  • Shrek the Third Review
    By: Kit Bowen May 25, 2007 7:49am EST
    Shrek the Third pretty much serves up the same tired fairytale shenanigans with little of the original’s magic. Still, the franchise’s undeniable charm alleviates some of the Third ’s banality.
  • Firehouse Dog Review
    By: Mike Szymanski April 04, 2007 7:50am EST
    A Hollywood dog finds out what it's like to be a real hero, rather than just play one in the movies-and he's really cute at it.
  • Smokin' Aces Review
    By: Brian Marder January 26, 2007 10:12am EST
    There’s no reinvention of the wheel in this made-for-video-game movie, but Smokin' Aces is filthily good fun for (primarily) guys--and, no, it’s not Quentin Tarantino lite. The only thing that's "lite" is the story.
  • Dreamgirls Review
    By: Brian Marder December 29, 2006 5:29am EST
    Even when the awe-inspiring Jennifer Hudson isn’t on screen, Dreamgirls will proceed in taking your breath away—that from a confessed musical-phobe. And while it may not be the year’s best movie, it sure seems like the year’s Best Picture.
