(Teresa Palmer and Nicholas Hoult star in "Warm Bodies." Credit: Summit Entertainment)

Movie Review: ‘Warm Bodies’

It’s a zom-rom-drom, an unlikely love story about a woman and the zombie who consumed her boyfriend’s brain.

(Sylvester Stallone stars in "Bullet to the Head.")

Movie Review: ‘Bullet to the Head’

It’s the kind of brutally violent actioner sporting a sky-high body count and an obnoxious nonchalance about life and death that enrages folks critical of the media’s part in real-world violent tragedies.

("Stand Up Guys" stars, L-R, Alan Arkin, Al Pacino, and Christopher Walken.)

Movie Review: ‘Stand Up Guys’

“Stand Up Guys” doesn’t exactly fall down, but it doesn’t take off either.

(Halle Berry is just one of the big names in "Movie 43.")

Movie Review: ‘Movie 43′

This contemptible compilation comedy is simply offensive, despite the array of A-list stars.

Movie Review: ‘Parker’

Take him or leave him, Jason Statham is a known quantity: quiet, strong, inexpressive, resourceful, and deadly.

(Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his first starring appearance in a decade.)

Movie Review: ‘The Last Stand’

The best thing about the film is the sense of humor that it sustains throughout, some of it raucous, some of it low-keyed — until the bloodbath in the third act.

(Russell Crowe, left, and Jeffrey Wright star with Mark Wahlberg, seated, in "Broken City.")

Movie Review: ‘Broken City’

Although the film has the surface elements that should make for a diverting entertainment –- watchable cast, plenty of plot, conflict galore –- the gears never quite mesh.

(Pauline Collins and Maggie Smith are among the "certain age" stars of Quartet, directed by Dustin Hoffman.)

Movie Review: ‘Quartet’

First-time director Dustin Hoffman knows enough about acting to allow his seasoned British thespians to do their thing by staying out of their way.

Movie Review: ‘Gangster Squad’

Gangster Squad is a high-octane true-crime drama – a Pulp Nonfiction wannabe — that chronicles the activities of the special unit created by the notoriously corrupt LAPD to lead its fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 1950s.
