Review of Outside the Law (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Nov 2010

Review of For Colored Girls (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Nov 2010

Whatever stumbles there may be, they are offset by moments when For Colored Girls soars…

Review of 127 Hours (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 04 Nov 2010

In the end, 127 Hours is one man's incredible, unforgettable journey; it took the extraordinary alchemy of Boyle and Franco to also make it ours…

Review of Welcome to the Rileys (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 27 Oct 2010

Fortunately Stewart seems to thrive in water over her head, and when she pulls Gandolfini in with her the movie gels…

Review of Wild Target (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 27 Oct 2010

Nighy is usually a treat to watch navigating life's bad turns, so it's especially frustrating that the filmmaker so often leaves him at loose ends…

Review of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (2009)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 27 Oct 2010

Rapace moves through the escalating exposure with a series of subtle shifts that are both painful and exquisite to watch…

Review of Paranormal Activity (2007)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 23 Oct 2010

Peli works at mining the unknown, the unknowable, like a minimalist, using small moments and virtually no special effects exceedingly well…

Review of The Wolfman (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 22 Oct 2010

Here's the surprise of the new incarnation of The Wolfman, starring Benicio Del Toro -- there isn't one. No bite either, or humor, or camp…

Review of Conviction (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Oct 2010

The film falls short of delivering the outrage and uplift that should have come easy for this true-life fight against justice denied…

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 13 Oct 2010

Any sort of new insight into comedy's darker themes, to say nothing of life's, eludes Funny People…

Review of Broken Embraces (2009)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 07 Oct 2010

The writer-director is up to his old tricks, creating an onion of an experience -- a movie within a movie within a movie, irony in each layer,…

Review of Sex and the City 2 (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 30 Sep 2010

The satire is sagging, the irony's atrophied and the funny is flabby…

Review of Drag Me to Hell (2009)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 17 Sep 2010

With that fire in his belly, Raimi's Drag Me to Hell does everything we want a horror film to do: It is fearsomely scary, wickedly funny and…

Review of Bran Nue Dae (2009)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Sep 2010

It's almost impossible not to be swept up by the exuberant fun of this singing, dancing, irony-laced ode to the repression, reeducation and…

Review of The Proposal (2009)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 07 Sep 2010

Just a good old-fashioned romance, one in which people actually bring out the best in one another rather than the worst. How novel is that…

Review of Takers (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 25 Aug 2010

Did I mention the dialogue? Well, really the armored car driver put it best when he said, We're in trouble here… No joke…

Review of Centurion (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 25 Aug 2010

Fast-moving, epic-on-a-shoestring tale of one Roman soldier's fight that is by turns heroic, fearsome, funny, fateful and, oh, so brutal, with…

Review of The Switch (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 18 Aug 2010

Aniston and Bateman keep things both light and dark when they should, and Robinson's Sebastian steals everyone's heart…

Review of Eat Pray Love (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 11 Aug 2010

If there is one constant in Eat Pray Love, the imperfect yet beautifully rendered adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's memoir on a year of heartbreak…

Review of The Other Guys (2010)

By Betsy Sharkey (695) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 05 Aug 2010

Here the filmmakers are in fine fettle, which goes a long way to make much of the low-brow silliness and slapstick infectious…
