Movie Review: ‘Battleship’
“Battleship” doesn’t exactly stink and therefore doesn’t exactly sink. But it doesn’t soar or score either.

Movie Review: ‘The Dictator’
Sorry, Sacha Baron Cohen fans, but “The Dictator” is more Bruno than Borat.

Movie Review: ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’
When all is said and done, “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” boasts about as much depth as a slick commercial aimed at a well-defined demographic.

Movie Review: ‘Darling Companion’
The problem is that looking for a missing canine, no matter how obvious it is as a metaphor for two-legged characters finding themselves as well, represents a rather flimsy spine for a feature screenplay.

Movie Review: ‘God Bless America’
Ultimately, God Bless America is just an extended rant. And it becomes tediously repetitious in the late going.

Movie Reviews: ‘Dark Shadows’
With all due respect to director Tim Burton as a unique visual stylist, it’s Johnny Depp who makes this movie work.

Movie Review: ‘The Avengers’
Is six superheroes too much, or not enough? Either way, it’s breezily entertaining.

Movie Reviews: ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’
You’d have to travel quite a ways, metaphorically speaking, to find an acting quartet more skilled than Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith, and Bill Nighy. But the film sacrifices a degree of focus and intensity.

Movie Review: ‘A Little Bit of Heaven’
Somewhere inside this huge miscalculation there’s a sincere attempt to wrestle with the serious issue of grief, and the film represents an opportunity for viewers seeking a “good cry.”

Movie Reviews: ‘The Five-Year Engagement’
“The Five-Year Engagement” is a charmer that aims for sustained amusement rather than knee-slapping hysteria and amounts to two hours of smart, agreeable entertainment.

Movie Review: ‘The Pirates! Band of Misfits’
It’s a funny high-seas adventure, a nonsensical piratical quirkfest in stop-action 3-D.

Movie Review: ‘The Raven’
The Raven flies in with an unabashedly farfetched and fanciful theory, a fictional account of what might have happened to Poe at life’s end.

Movie Review: ‘The Lucky One’
This is an adaptation of the 2008 novel of the same name, a comfort-food romantic drama that may be formulaic but that delivers dependably for its target audience.

Movie Review: ‘Chimpanzee’
The cinematography in this G-rated documentary, routinely breathtaking and often downright eye-popping, is sometimes magical in its intimacy.
