Grindhouse (2007)

Horror Rated R

"…offers plenty of film-buff fun, yet Rodriguez and Tarantino are, in a sense, limiting themselves."

Reservoir Dogs (1992)

Drama Rated R

“An action movie comprised almost entirely of words.”

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Drama Rated R

“Tarantino’s definitive film, if not his best.”

Lookout, The (2007)

Drama Rated R

“…far more thrilling before it turns into a thriller.

Blades of Glory (2007)

Comedy Rated PG-13

You need a perfectly timed double take to work with Will Ferrell – most of your job is reacting to the bizarre non sequiturs that fly from his mouth – and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) thankfully possesses a formidable one. (His mouth seems permanently curled in an expression of repulsed confusion.) Here he and Ferrell

Balls of Fury (2007)

Comedy Rated PG-13

“…this is two parts Blades of Glory and one part Enter the Dragon, though it’s missing Will Ferrell’s absurd improvisational humor and, well, Bruce Lee.

Mr. Deeds (2002)

Comedy Rated PG-13

This remake of a 1936 Frank Capra picture turns out to be the perfect vehicle for abrasive funnyman Adam Sandler, a common man’s comedian who fits quite nicely in a farce celebrating common wisdom. After the death of his media-baron uncle, small-town boy Longfellow Deeds (Sandler) reaps a $40 billion inheritance and is swept into

Peter Pan (2003)

Family Rated PG

Purists may scoff at the heavy special effects in the latest movie version of Peter Pan, but what story could make better use of computerized fairy dust? Director P.J. Hogan guides it all along at a furious pace, one matched by a fleet cast. Jason Isaacs plays Captain Hook as more bully than buffoon, while

Shooter (2007)

Action/Adventure Rated R

Give it three stars for each gun you own

Recent Reviews

9 to 5 (1980)

“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…”

It Ends (2026)

Horror Rated R

“A delectably malleable metaphor movie…”
