Hollywood Shuffle (1987) Jonathan R. Perry

2.5/4
Smokin' Aces (2007) Jonathan R. Perry It's instantly engrossing, stays great for about 45 minutes and good for another 20, then begins collapsing under the oppressive weight of taking itself very, very seriously.

4/4
Volver (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Hollywood, take notice: If you hand Penelope Cruz a role with more depth than the paper it's printed on, this is what you'll get.

4/4
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) Jonathan R. Perry I saw better films in 2006 -- but none more imaginative than Guillermo del Toro's communal masterpiece. Bring a friend, and you'll have plenty to talk about.

Primeval (2007) Jonathan R. Perry It's rough going when our heroes have us longing for the complexity of the riverboat crew from 'Anaconda.'

Bad Boys (1983) Jonathan R. Perry

3.5/4
The Queen (2006) Jonathan R. Perry The remarkable achievement is not just in Helen Mirren's performance -- but in the sly, often almost imperceptible observations of how violently worlds can collide with a fleeting word, a subtle gesture.

1.5/4
Thr3e (2007) Jonathan R. Perry I've seen films that said nothing in entertaining, even compelling ways. 'Thr3e' is not one of them. At least it's not wholesome too.

2.5/4
Night at the Museum (2006) Jonathan R. Perry An inquisitive mind's thirst for understanding runs counter to your enjoyment, when a film's heart is usually in the right place but its brain is on permanent vacation.

3.5/4
Charlotte's Web (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Don't be put off by the G rating. I know a lot of adults who could learn from a talking pig.

2/4
Blood Diamond (2006) Jonathan R. Perry If ever there were a film that shouldn't end on a note of rhythmic clapping, this is it. What a mess.
Posted Jan 05, 2007  Edit critic review
2/4
Turistas (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Don't stay home out of fear of imagined atrocities in another country. Stay home from this movie instead.
Posted Jan 05, 2007  Edit critic review
0.5/4
Code Name: The Cleaner (2007) Mark Collette ...the comedy half doesn't work without the intrigue half, and director Mayfield doesn't look like he would know intrigue if Martin Scorsese brought it to him wrapped in butcher paper with a bow on top.
Posted Jan 05, 2007  Edit critic review
2/4
Eragon (2006) Mark Collette Its formula is so vanilla that it could be an early draft of almost any other science fiction or fantasy story.
Posted Dec 15, 2006  Edit critic review
3/4
Apocalypto (2006) Mark Collette Rather than sprawling into far-reaching epic mode, this carefully contained script zooms in on one man's drive to protect his family against the backdrop of a civilization on the point of collapse.

2/4
The Nativity Story (2006) Mark Collette Hardwicke takes scripture that is at once deeply troubling ... and filled with profound hope, and renders it inert on both counts by playing things so safely that the result is almost irreverent.

2.5/4
Déjà Vu (2006) Jonathan R. Perry A stylish, engrossing popcorn thriller with a few unexpected rewards -- as long as you don't think about it too hard.
Posted Nov 24, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Casino Royale (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Is this the best Bond ever? No. But it is the most confident, expertly crafted and simply exhilarating since For Your Eyes Only. The reason for that is Daniel Craig.
Posted Nov 24, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/4
A Good Year (2006) Jonathan R. Perry 'Look Homeward, Gladiator' hints at new dimensions of warmth and heart in Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott. They're not there yet, but they're headed in the right direction.

2/4
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Cinema is far too powerful a medium to be graded on a curve-- even when Tim Allen is involved.
Posted Nov 24, 2006  Edit critic review
2/4
Marie Antoinette (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Films like 'Marie Antoinette' foster serious discussion about cinema for all the wrong reasons. Just what the hell is this supposed to be?
Posted Nov 24, 2006  Edit critic review
0.5/4
Deck the Halls (2006) Mark Collette I'm tired of filmmakers, screenwriters, directors and studios that believe every holiday is its own excuse for making films.
Posted Nov 22, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Happy Feet (2006) Mark Collette The long march across the Antarctic wasteland ... sometimes feels just as arduous as the real thing.
Posted Nov 18, 2006  Edit critic review
4/4
Stranger Than Fiction (2006) Mark Collette When I left the theater, I got in my car, turned off my perpetually running radio, and thought for a long time before I moved. It's been a while since a film has done that.

3.5/4
Flushed Away (2006) Mark Collette This is a stunning example of a dumb concept that an ingenuous team of screenwriters, animators and voice actors turned squarely on its head. And there's scarcely a potty joke to be found.

0/4
Saw III (2006) Mark Collette It induces squirming not because the filmmakers are good at creating suspense, but because they are expert sadists with a $12 million budget.

2.5/4
Man of the Year (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Barry Levinson is a case study in narrative schizophrenia, with no idea what he wants his film to be.
Posted Oct 23, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/4
Flags of Our Fathers (2006) Mark Collette This film seems dangerously close to embracing the same kind of selective storytelling that it condemns.
Posted Oct 21, 2006  Edit critic review
2/4
The Grudge 2 (2006) Mark Collette Shimizu has mastered the American art of pandering to a target demographic.
Posted Oct 14, 2006  Edit critic review
4/4
The Departed (2006) Jonathan R. Perry Stacked up against Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, sure ... this is lesser Scorsese. And 'lesser' Scorsese is still better than almost anything else around.

.5/4
Jackass: Number Two (2006) Jonathan R. Perry The title tells all. To hell with it.

2/4
All the King's Men (2006) Jonathan R. Perry What's worse -- a bad remake of a classic film, or just a bad literary adaptation with delusions of grandeur?
Posted Oct 13, 2006  Edit critic review
3/4
The Black Dahlia (2006) Jonathan R. Perry After two hours of meandering, convoluted indulgences and loose ends, 'The Black Dahlia' reveals a kinder, gentler Brian De Palma. He should be a good guy to have around.
Posted Oct 13, 2006  Edit critic review
3/4
The Wicker Man (2006) Jonathan R. Perry LaBute's remake could be an atonement, a perversely clever way of turning the gun on himself... or a conspiracy theorist's invective against a gender he fears and loathes.
Posted Oct 13, 2006  Edit critic review
2.5/4
The Guardian (2006) Mark Collette At 135 minutes, I expect more than the usual trainer-turned-father-figure story.
Posted Oct 01, 2006  Edit critic review
3.5/4
Fearless (2006) Mark Collette Fearless is a visual juggernaut.
Posted Sep 23, 2006  Edit critic review
2/4
Gridiron Gang (2006) Mark Collette The film misses the chance to showcase these actors with a deeper exploration of their changing relationship.
Posted Sep 16, 2006  Edit critic review
0.5/4
The Covenant (2006) Mark Collette Limitless powers, and all we get are some spiders, some Blobs, and some supernatural hair gel.
