Movie Review: ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’
Here’s a sequel that’s pretty much the equal of its predecessor. That is not a compliment.
Movie Review: ‘Chronicle’
Call Chronicle an anti-superhero flick. But the level of entertainment that this modestly budgeted but cleverly resourceful science fiction thriller delivers is almost heroic.
Movie Review: ‘The Woman in Black’
In honoring the grand tradition of British horror, British director James Watkins takes a refreshingly old-fashioned approach to the frightening elements in his period ghost story.
Movie Review: ‘Big Miracle’
“Big Miracle” is a romantic, PG-rated family drama based on this real-life international event which occurred toward the end of the Cold War, before the instantaneous news era we now find ourselves in.
Movie Review: ‘Man on a Ledge’
That nothing is quite what it seems, a familiar approach in this kind of thriller, is fine. We only wish that the eventual revelations were more interesting and satisfying.
Movie Review: ‘The Grey’
This movie’s biggest problem is that the wolves in it — a mix of real wolves, animatronics, and CGI — never appear real enough to be threatening or to generate legitimate fear.
Movie Review: ‘Red Tails’
If only the filmmakers telling this story were as high-flying and ambitious as the heroic characters their movie celebrates.
Movie Review: ‘Haywire’
Steven Soderbergh has gone Haywire, and the results are entertaining if uninspiring.
Movie Review: ‘Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close’
“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” is a poignant, stimulating drama about the tragic effects and aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
Movie Review: ‘Carnage’
Most of what we feel watching this level of acting talent, not on their game, is disappointment.
Movie Review: ‘Contraband’
This remake of a 2009 Icelandic crime thriller appears to be a cerebral caper flick but is actually a sluggish action thriller.
Movie Review: ‘The Iron Lady’
This is a bad biography but a shimmering showcase for Meryl Streep.
Movie Review: ‘The Devil Inside’
Supernatural chillers about possession with the power disturb, like ‘The Exorcist’, ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’, ‘The Last Exorcism’, and even ‘The Rite’ rarely traffic in three-dimensional character delineation — and neither does ‘The Devil Inside’, which exhibits very little interest in the mother-daughter bond that is embedded in the film’s basic premise.
Movie Review: ‘A Dangerous Method’
“A Dangerous Method” explores the early years of modern psychiatry. It’s not a love triangle, but it’s close.
Movie Review: ‘In The Land of Blood and Honey’
This brutal drama about genocide and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia’s civil war in the early 1990s is often difficult to watch but is never less than powerfully intense.
