Fast Five (2011) 77% 3/4 EDIT “This is about as good as brainless Hollywood filmmaking gets, and I'm already excited for whatever silly name they give to the next installment.” – Razorfine Review May 2, 2011 Full Review Scream 4 (2011) 61% 3/5 EDIT “Even if it's not very scary, it's refreshing to see the Scream franchise come back to life - at the very least to acknowledge how awful things have gotten.” – Razorfine Review Apr 15, 2011 Full Review Hanna (2011) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT “There are sure to be thousands of High School film geeks that will see this film and think it's one of the best films ever. It's not, but only a real buzzkill could watch Hanna and not have a fun time” – Razorfine Review Apr 14, 2011 Full Review Role Models (2008) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Role Models might be a light weight in a lot of respects, but it's certainly entertaining enough to justify spending time with. But it might not be worth looking up to.” – Razorfine Review Nov 8, 2008 Full Review Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) 80% 4/5 EDIT “It might not be a high-point in Allen's storied career, but were it in any other filmmaker's filmography, it could be.” – Razorfine Review Aug 16, 2008 Full Review Henry Poole Is Here (2008) 39% 2.5/5 EDIT “The movie isn't saying anything, just asserting a religious belief without ever questioning it. That's sloppy writing, regardless of what religion or ideology it's preaching.” – Razorfine Review Aug 16, 2008 Full Review The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) 13% 1/5 EDIT “'Tomb of the Dragon Emperor' is as much fun as a Nickelback concert that lasts five hours.” – Razorfine Review Aug 3, 2008 Full Review Step Brothers (2008) 54% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ferrell and Reilly effortlessly give us overgrown middle-schoolers in a brutal sibling rivalry. It's hilarious and endearing, watching pre-pubescent boys try to act grown-up.” – Razorfine Review Jul 25, 2008 Full Review The Dark Knight (2008) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “The Dark Knight is like an 800-pound alpha-male gorilla that charges and jumps on you to show you who's boss. And you love every pound of it.” – Razorfine Review Jul 18, 2008 Full Review Meet Dave (2008) 20% 1/5 EDIT “This comedy is not awful - you won't be laughing at it; but you're not going to be laughing with it much either.” – Razorfine Review Jul 11, 2008 Full Review WALL-E (2008) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “Pixar might well be the best production house in all of Holllywood, animating or otherwise.” – Razorfine Review Jul 1, 2008 Full Review Hancock (2008) 42% 2/5 EDIT “Not a bad film; but when a movie with so much potential for entertainment winds up being more boring than it is exciting or thought-provoking, it's not unfair to say it fails.” – Razorfine Review Jul 1, 2008 Full Review The Love Guru (2008) 13% 1.5/5 EDIT “For all of its cheesy and easy jokes, it is funny on occasion; but it's not a movie Mike Myers or anyone else should ever feel they have the right to brag about.” – Razorfine Review Jun 21, 2008 Full Review The Happening (2008) 17% 1.5/5 EDIT “It is clear that Shyamalan is a fraction of the filmmaker he was even just six years ago.” – Razorfine Review Jun 13, 2008 Full Review Kung Fu Panda (2008) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “It's not astoundingly good, but given it's a non-Pixar U.S.-animated feature, it's certainly good enough.” – Razorfine Review Jun 13, 2008 Full Review You Don't Mess With the Zohan (2008) 37% 1.5/5 EDIT “The middle-schoolers will flock to it for it's wealth of not-so-subtle sexuality jokes, but anybody else is going to have trouble forgiving this terribly production that lucks into a few laughs.” – Razorfine Review Jun 13, 2008 Full Review Son of Rambow (2007) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “What really makes the film is the level of creativity that went into its production.” – Razorfine Review Jun 13, 2008 Full Review Speed Racer (2008) 42% 2/5 EDIT “It's too much too fast, and likely won't make it past your short-term memory.” – Razorfine Review May 9, 2008 Full Review Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay (2008) 53% 3.5/5 EDIT “Post-Borat, the racial commentary isn't as scathing as it could have been just a few years ago; but it's still a funny ploy that gives the movie an edge of social mindedness” – Razorfine Review Apr 25, 2008 Full Review Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) 84% 2.5/5 EDIT “As a comedy, it's worth seeing; but as a film - despite some fine work from Jason Segal - it's just not quite there.” – Razorfine Review Apr 19, 2008 Full Review National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007) 35% 3/5 EDIT “There's no subtext, and it's not trying to change your mind either. It's just a fun time.” – Razorfine Review Mar 7, 2008 Full Review There Will Be Blood (2007) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Day-Lewis' ability to put his character on the verge of madness, with Anderson's obsessive style of clean filmmaking go together in this one like a good film and an Oscar.” – Razorfine Review Mar 7, 2008 Full Review 10,000 B.C. (2008) 10% 2/5 EDIT “It's a fun movie that's never hard to sit through, it just never gives you much of a reason to sit through it.” – Razorfine Review Mar 7, 2008 Full Review
