By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 04 Mar 2010

Review of Ajami (2009)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 04 Mar 2010

Observing the ominous nature of violence and its crushing aftermath, Ajami is a striking raw nerve of a feature film, holding to a steady path…

Review of The Ministers (2009)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for DVDTalk.com (826) on 01 Mar 2010

Ministers doesn't thrill or enlighten (the religious slant to the material dries upon application), leaving Franc Reyes with another clunker…

Review of Motherhood (2009)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for DVDTalk.com (826) on 01 Mar 2010

There's nothing much here on the wonders of parental obligation to reinforce the mood, only ineffective flecks of comedy and abrasively broad…

Review of The Vicious Kind (2009)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for DVDTalk.com (826) on 01 Mar 2010

Vicious Kind doesn't have much in the way of new corners to offer the domestic disturbance genre, resulting in a film greatly dedicated to…

Review of Cop Out (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 25 Feb 2010

Willis looks content here with punchlines and weapons, giving more of a John McClane performance here than he offered in the last Die Hard…

Review of Wrong Side of Town (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 21 Feb 2010

DeFalco returns with Wrong Side of Town, a burly, brainless exercise in tough guy cinema, with a slew of D-list celebrities and professional…

Review of Shutter Island (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 19 Feb 2010

Scorsese feverishly works over the script with his typical widescreen gusto, only to end up with a flaccid central mystery barely worth the exertion…

Review of Saint John of Las Vegas (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 18 Feb 2010

It's a black comedy with a few exceptional scenes, but never gels together convincingly, making the artistic swing for the fences more of a…

Review of Extraordinary Measures (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 12 Feb 2010

Not a film staged in an Earth-shattering manner, merely coasting along on a gentle hum of featherweight medical and domestic urgency; it's…

Review of Valentine's Day (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 12 Feb 2010

I'm sure Marshall is a sweet fellow, but his movies have become clueless, klutzy abominations, with Valentine's Day an affront to the art of…

Review of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 12 Feb 2010

A clunky kid-sized epic, able to conjure colossal acts of Greek myth wonderment, but never brave enough to shut its pie hole and let the audience…

Review of Hard Rain (1998)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for DVDTalk.com (826) on 11 Feb 2010

It's big, dumb, noisy, and teeming with idiotic dialogue, yet the finished feature has a certain merry swagger about it that keeps everything…

Review of From Paris with Love (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 04 Feb 2010

A bonkers Travolta is always good for a laugh or two, but the picture doesn't come through on its promise of a cartwheeling good time…

Review of The Secret of Kells (2009)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 04 Feb 2010

The Secret of Kells remains a feast for the eyes, breaking the stasis of the genre with an inspired tale, lovingly crafted by exceptional filmmakers…

Review of Edge of Darkness (1943)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 28 Jan 2010

An uneasy translation, and while there's an undeniably perverse pleasure in watching Gibson mow down baddies once again, the film as a whole…

Review of When in Rome (2010)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 28 Jan 2010

Johnson doesn't know how to sell funny, so he plays everything in the most obvious, siren-wail fashion, deploying an atrocious supporting cast…

Review of The Last Station (2009)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for DVDTalk.com (826) on 21 Jan 2010
