Sparkle (2012) 57% 5/5 EDIT “SPARKLE fills this wall to wall void in filmmaking where characters are wholesome with realistic goals that everyone can relate to.” – urbanfilmpremiere Aug 18, 2012 Full Review Smokin' Aces (2007) 31% 3/5 EDIT “Ever since its bloody, foot massaging inception, Pulp Fiction has been one of the most poorly and stylistically imitated movies in modern memory.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jul 24, 2012 Full Review Men in Black 3 (2012) 67% 4/5 EDIT “...sci-fi fans owe a huge thank you to the writer Etan Cohen. And no, this is not Ethan Cohen from the famed creative team of Joel and Ethan Cohen. This scribe is Etan Cohen.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jul 1, 2012 Full Review Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection (2012) 19% 3/5 EDIT “I didn't know Perry could be so goofy and funny at the same time...there are no breaks. There are a few life moments but for the most part, it's all about making you laugh.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jul 1, 2012 Full Review Think Like a Man (2012) 55% 5/5 EDIT “A return to simple, good ole' storytelling. Think Like A Man is excellent. No flaws. Just a solid, good film.” – urbanfilmpremiere Apr 23, 2012 Full Review The Hunger Games (2012) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “The film provides a nice rush on how to make it in a world hell-bent on your demise. Some major life questions are addressed. Do you have someone that loves you? Do you have the physical and mental ability to make it past home-base?” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 25, 2012 Full Review Being Flynn (2012) 49% 2.5/5 EDIT “His hubris matches that of the biggest jerk you know and his attitude never allows you to like him for one minute.” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 12, 2012 Full Review Act of Valor (2012) 28% 4/5 EDIT “Although not trained actors, the NAVY SEALs portray their characters perfectly in many ways. When they are discussing weapons, tactics and protocol, actually seems far more real than Matt Damon or Bruce Willis. Sorry dudes, they just do.” – urbanfilmpremiere Feb 29, 2012 Full Review Safe House (2012) 52% 4/5 EDIT “Filled with expert killers, untrustworthy CIA Agents, political operators, and traitors sharing coffee with you, the film will definitely make you think, who is safe?” – urbanfilmpremiere Feb 11, 2012 Full Review The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Kinda like a sports team in need of their ace to come through in the end, Hollywood should be kissing the feet of David Fincher.” – urbanfilmpremiere Feb 2, 2012 Full Review Red Tails (2012) 41% 5/5 EDIT “Fresh from start to finish,Red Tails flys high, sophisticated, and with purpose. Solid cast, solid director, and a great executive producer. Bravo.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jan 21, 2012 Full Review Just Wright (2010) 47% 6/10 EDIT “Queen Latifah and Common have been inspiring forces in hip-hop since they first touched down on planet hip-hop.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jan 5, 2012 Full Review Takers (2010) 28% 7/10 EDIT “Will Packer decided to create a thoughtful arrangement on a simple gangster theory; why steal $100 and look a fool when you can try to steal $100,000,000 while wearing Brooks Brothers and Armani? Of course this is also the theory of Wall Street.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jan 5, 2012 Full Review Tower Heist (2011) 67% 5/10 EDIT “Whenever there are lots of talented people to manage, the job of any leader can be tough. Think Philadelphia Eagles this year; stars everywhere and nothing to show for it.” – urbanfilmpremiere Jan 5, 2012 Full Review The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) 26% 5/10 EDIT “WHY DO WE LOVE BLOOD SUCKING VAMPIRES?” – urbanfilmpremiere Jan 5, 2012 Full Review Clash of the Titans (2010) 27% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “Somehow the filmmakers seemed to forget they were charged with telling literally one of the greatest stories ever. Maybe the film should have been slower, faster, something but it wasn't. The audience deserved way more depth than visual 3D.” – urbanfilmpremiere Apr 3, 2010 Full Review Hot Tub Time Machine (2010) 64% 2.5/4.0 EDIT “"...with the overused starting point of bored dudes with nothing to do and lives to solve, the film made me laugh often but somehow I felt as if the film wanted to be, could have been but just missed its mark. But damn it was a funny miss."” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 27, 2010 Full Review Brooklyn's Finest (2009) 44% 3/4 EDIT “Crafted well, acted well, not a hard sell, Brooklyn's Finest is a solid, pretty damn good flick with real world authenticity that is hard to match. Think Training Day with way more characters that Fuqua delivers with aplomb, feeling, grit, and Brooklyn b” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 23, 2010 Full Review Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985) 33% 2/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995) 23% 3/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review Hanky Panky (1982) 42% 2/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review The Glass Shield (1994) 68% 3/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review 1/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1975) 33% 4/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review Beethoven (1992) 31% 2/5 EDIT “” – urbanfilmpremiere Mar 29, 2009 Full Review
