Piranha (1978)

Horror Rated R

“…not quite a thriller, not quite a spoof.”

I Was Born, but… (1932)

Comedy Rated NR

A review of Ozu’s silent masterpiece, which was rereleased earlier this summer.

Piranha 3D (2010)

Horror Rated R

What was a light-hearted 1978 B movie about ravenous piranha has become a dreary, sadistic chore in the hands of hateful horror specialist Alexandre Aja (High Tension, 2006’s The Hills Have Eyes). This time around, an underwater earthquake has unleashed a horde of ancient, vicious piranha on an Arizona lake just as spring breakers have

Green Hornet, The (2011)

Action/Adventure Rated PG-13

“I’m beginning to suspect that writer-producer-actor Seth Rogen is up to foul play.

Get Low (2010)

Drama Rated PG-13

The cast is the best thing in Get Low, a jerry-built period piece about forgiveness that stars – thankfully – Robert Duvall and Bill Murray. Duvall has the lead role of Felix Bush, a hermit in 1930s Tennessee who suddenly waltzes into town and announces that he wants to throw a funeral party for himself

Restrepo (2010)

Documentary Rated R

“Valuable … but misses a golden opportunity to intersect access and art.

Kids Are All Right, The (2010)

Drama Rated R

One of the most emotionally cathartic movies of 2010. Annette Bening and Julianne Moore play Nic and Jules, a married couple on the tail end of parenthood. Their daughter, Joni (Mia Wasikowska), is on her way to college, while their son, Laser (Josh Hutcherson), is in high school. Nic and Jules are happy and proud

Predator (1987)

Action/Adventure Rated R

In case you’re thinking about seeing Predators this week, here’s what you might be in for…

Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

Comedy Rated PG-13

“…just funny enough, but not because of star Steve Carell.

Despicable Me (2010)

Family Rated PG

"No wonder I couldn’t tell what Despicable Me was about when I saw its first trailer. The finished movie itself doesn’t even know."

Recent Reviews

“Parton’s smile wins 1,000 hearts and deflects twice as many harassing come-ons.”

Cure (1997)

Thriller Rated NR

“Like an unsettled mind, this is littered with background disturbances…”

Horror Rated R

“A delectably malleable metaphor movie…”
