GRADE: 4 out of 5 The guy who knows how to play a good guy better than anyone else is back. Tom Hanks’ character, LARRY CROWNE, lives to do the right thing, he’s like Forrest Gump, the only difference is that he’s not ‘slow’. Tom’s 2nd directorial feature is a feel-good movie that makes everything [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 From time to time there’d movies out of festival circuit that just manage to leave a good impression and TERRI is one of them. From time to time there’d movies that successfully pay tribute, whether it be on purpose or unintentionally, to the late great John Hughes’ classicThe Breakfast Club [...]

GRADE: 1 out of 5 What a buzzkill! THE HANGOVER PART II is boring, unnecessary, and it offers nothing new whatsoever. Just as suspected, the whole movie practically takes everything from the first film and just places it in Bangkok, that’s all it is. The jokes and the characters are lame and recycled. It has [...]

GRADE: 5 out of 5 The best comedy of the summer, one of the best comedies of the year. So much fun, I couldn’t stop laughing. Judd Apatow the writer/director might be trying to get his audience back but Judd Apatow the producer is going strong and Kristen Wiig’s first feature as a lead is [...]

GRADE: 2 out of 5 In the words of Stu from The Hangover movie, ‘what is going on here?!’. Because this is not the ARTHUR I remember from the 1981 movie starring the late great Dudley Moore. Boy did WB really take this whole reboot thing to heart or what?! This ARTHUR lacks a lot [...]

GRADE: 3 out of 5 After The Accidental Husband, Percy Jackson, and Motherhood, I thought Uma Thurman’s career was over, I thought her movie days are behind her, she’s long gone and only Quentin Tarantino could save her… again. And even though CEREMONY is not Kill Bill or Pulp Fiction, I’d consider it a decent [...]

GRADE: 2 out of 5 I was gonna write ‘YOUR HIGHNESS is the best medieval fantasy comedy since Robin Hood: Men In Tights” but after the screening this past week, I decided not to. Don’t get me wrong, YOUR HIGHNESS had moments that made me chuckle but after a while, those F-bombs are all that [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 What PAUL lacks in humor, it makes up for in the friendship theme. It’s a bit sad if I think about it again because this is a movie from the folks who brought us Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz and Superbad, but humor-wise, even after it’s R-rated, PAUL [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 I wasn’t really sure how to review this. RUBBER is so silly and odd on so many levels, it cracks me up from the beginning to the end. If Seinfeld was a show about nothing, RUBBER is like a movie about nothing, or as one of the characters puts it, [...]

GRADE: 4 out of 5 This sequel to WOMEN IN TROUBLE is irreverently funny. It’s not Farrellys laugh out loud type funny but writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez does manage to attract chuckles out of awkward situations. Unlike its predecessors, where we were presented with more than a few women dealing with different dilemmas, ELEKTRA LUXX kinda [...]
