Movie Review: ‘The Bourne Legacy’

Matt Damon was expected to be Bourne again. And perhaps he will. But not this time. Jeremy Renner takes over the lead role in ‘The Bourne Legacy.’

Movie Review: Total Recall

‘Total Recall’ is, ironically enough, just about entirely forgettable.

Movie Review: Savages

‘Savages’ is an R-rated crime thriller about sex, drugs, and – not rock-‘n’-roll but – money, power, and violence. Mostly the latter.

Movie Review: The Amazing Spider-Man

‘The Amazing Spider Man’ is another acrobatic, angst-ridden, arachnoidy thriller, a quick relaunch of the superhero franchise.

(Channing Tatum & Matthew McConaughey lead a cast of stars in 'Magic Mike') (credit: Warner Brothers)

Movie Review: Magic Mike

‘Magic Mike’ is a dreary dramedy about naked ambition and struggling male strippers who are, literally and figuratively, making ends meet.

This R-rated movie couldn’t possibly be any more aggressively tasteless or unfunny.

(Charlize Theron stars as Queen Revenna in 'Snow White and the Huntsman.') (credit: Universal Pictures)

Movie Review: Snow White And The Huntsman

The year’s second variation on the story of Snow White is both more grim and more Grimm than its recent predecessor.

(Angelina Jolie directed this unpretty drama about genocide and ethnic cleansing in Bosnia's civil war.)

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.

Bill Wine says The Artist is 2011's very best movie and one for the ages.
