Tweet Hollywood frequently seems to be having the movie equivalent of a key party. Two or three movies in as many months will turn up at the local cinema with the same high concept. This season's exemplars are The Expendables and RED. We'v..

Tweet Joe Carnahan's ‘re-imagining' of the '80s TV series keeps enough of the original to connect with the built-in audience and adds enough smarts to justify the big screen leap. This movie, for me, epitomizes the mindless summer ac..

Tweet Saw this hit graphic novel adaptation last night with a buddy and walked out confused. One the one hand the script totally demolishes the normal human superhero genre (such as Batman), delivers some great laughs, captures the teenage..

Tweet I was highly impressed by this Clive Owen/Naomi Watts financial thriller. Director Tom Tykwer has long been a critical favorite though I've only seen his Run Lola Run , which I definitely enjoyed, and this is Eric Singer's first prod..

Tweet Surprised by how enjoyable this technothriller turned out. Shia LeBeouf and Michelle Monaghan worked well together and happily Billy Bob Thornton put down the bong for most of this shoot. Director D.J. Caruso definitely showed a step..

Tweet Outstanding, especially for a sequel. Big props to Bale, Ledger, Oldman, Eckhart, Caine, Freeman and pleased by Maggie Gyllenhall's replacement of Katie Homes. Christopher Nolan just makes good movie after good movie.

Tweet Of the four X-Men flicks I'd probably put this tied for second with the second sequel. Nice jobs by Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber and Danny Huston, a bit too much reliance on the big booms and sound effects by director Gavin Hood.

Tweet James Cameron was right to question why this movie got made. Some blamed it on an attempt to beef up the John Connor role after Christian Bale took the part over Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright. I just don't see where the huge financ..

Tweet Fun and showed some nice creative touches but not as surprising or entertaining as the first. How come no mention of Carla Gugino's character at all?

Tweet My movie of the year, without a doubt. Avatar was awesome, but second. Watchmen was almost there but give me real Trek over blue penis any day. X-Men: Wolverine, Terminator Salvation and Transformers 2 were ok, sad and watch for the ..
