" Strap yourself in for some pure violence and stupidity."
Posted Oct 10, 2008
 
Babylon A.D. (2008)7%

" A woman a few rows in front of me at the preview chose to write 20 minutes worth of text messages, rather than watch the movie. Even though she was not paying, the price was clearly too high."

" The scriptwriters are setting a trap, but there's a risk. If they push the capabilities of the unseen female voice too far -- and they do -- they risk our patience. Once you withdraw your willingness to believe, it's hard to get it back."

Eagle Eye (2008)28%

" A simplistic action-thriller depicts extreme prejudice and shows middling contempt."

" Not much about Meet Dave is memorable, so I'm having trouble remembering."

" As the celebrity love guru of Los Angeles, Mike Meyers delivers jokes so poorly that they just clang to the floor like metal weights."

1/5
 
" Which words describe this movie version of one of the funniest television shows ever made? Terrible, puerile and a travesty are close, but not angry enough."
Posted Jul 10, 2008
 
Get Smart (2008)52%
/
2.5/5
 
" History is never easy to capture in a fiction film, especially with a war in the background. But you have to at least try to embrace the whole of it, not just tear off a convenient chunk. Real life is inconvenient; great movies still deal with it."
Posted Jul 4, 2008
 
The Children of Huang Shi (2008)27%
/
 
" It's nice to see these women again, because they are all rich and complex characters, but it's basically a sentimental exercise, designed for maximum cash flow before the idea is retired."
Posted Jun 8, 2008
 
Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)50%
/
2/5
 
" A hip comedy, and as such, being hip and caustic is sometimes more important than being funny."
Posted May 30, 2008
 
Rats and Cats (2008)83%
/
 
" The film's approach to violence is unflinching: this is what poor people are doing to each other with the guns the West sells them, it screams -- but there's no suggestion it might be stopped, or slowed."
Posted Feb 17, 2006
 
Lord of War (2005)61%

" Struggles to find the right tone."
Posted Sep 10, 2003
