    Actress Helen Beverly has died at the age of 94.
  • Julie & Julia Review
    By: Katie Bain August 05, 2009 3:20pm EST
    An expertly prepared feast of a movie.
  • 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.
  • Stardust Review
    By: Robert Sims August 13, 2007 11:38am EST
    Stardust is so witty, enchanting and romantic, it’s destined to become The Princess Bride of the Harry Potter generation. 
  • 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 Ringer Review
    By: Brian Marder December 23, 2005 6:14am EST
    Masquerading under the guise of an “inspirational story,” The Ringer hits a new low for Hollywood. Producers may have exploited their way into some (intentional, of course) controversy buzz, but don’t expect audiences to be fooled by this unfunny hoax of a comedy.
  • The Dukes of Hazzard Review
    By: Kit Bowen August 05, 2005 7:46am EST
    I guess if you were a fan of the TV show, this foolhardy Dukes of Hazzard upgrade may appeal to your baser senses. Or it could just remind you how ridiculous it was the show ran for six seasons in the first place.
  • Friday Night Lights Review
    By: Kit Bowen October 08, 2004 9:39am EST
    Perhaps if Friday Night Lights was the first high school football story to come to the big screen, it would be one of the best. Even though the film does sport some superb performances and tackles gritty realism with gusto, it isn't the first to do that--far from it.
  • Dark Blue Review
    By: Guylaine Cadorette February 21, 2003 11:09am EST
    Dark Blue is definitely a gripping and realistic film, but it fails to dig deeper and explore the reasons behind the LAPD's actions than the Christopher Commission already did in the aftermath of the Rodney King beating and the L.A. riots.
