Review of A Prairie Home Companion (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 11 Jun 2006

Such is Altman's gift with actors that he even makes Lindsay Lohan seem fresh-faced, building the film to a climax in which the pop tartlet…

Review of The Break-Up (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 31 May 2006

A wishy-washy little relationship comedy that's nowhere near as nasty as it evidently wants to be…

Review of The Da Vinci Code (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 17 May 2006

Langdon's not a human character, but an amalgamation of pop-up trivia and pensive stares and there's nothing Hanks can do to make him sympathetic,…

Review of Poseidon (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 12 May 2006

There are several characters you're happy to see go -- Try not to cheer when Fergie takes a blast of water to the face -- but there's nobody…

Review of Down in the Valley (1984)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 12 May 2006

As he did in Primal Fear, American History X and Fight Club, Norton generates suspense by never tipping viewers off if he's supposed to be trusted…

Review of Down in the Valley (2005)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 12 May 2006

As he did in Primal Fear, American History X and Fight Club, Norton generates suspense by never tipping viewers off if he's supposed to be trusted…

Review of Wah-Wah (2005)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 12 May 2006

Although it's clearly a personal story, Wah-Wah proves as formulaic and meandering as its satirical targets are bloated and obvious…

Review of Hoot (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 04 May 2006

There has to have been a way for Hoot to have preached the gospel of wildness preservation, grabbed a PG rating and still maintained Hiaasen's…

Review of The Proposition (2005)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 04 May 2006

If Peter Weir, Sam Peckinpah and Jim Jarmusch could somehow collaborate on a film written by Joseph Conrad, it would probably look something…

Review of Mission: Impossible III (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 03 May 2006

You never completely forget Abrams' TV pedigree, but the fact he's turned Mission: Impossible into a star-studded, amped-up version of Alias…

Review of United 93 (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 27 Apr 2006

The supposed centerpiece of the movie is its least involving part…

Review of The Sentinel (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 20 Apr 2006

Without any mystery or twists, all you're left with is a jumble that Jack Bauer and Chloe O'Brien could unravel before the first commercial…

Review of Silent Hill (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 20 Apr 2006

Had Silent Hill been directed by Peter Jackson, perhaps there would have been an explanation or justification for its 127-minute length…

Review of The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 18 Apr 2006

Although Page is described as the model who shocked the nation, The Notorious Bettie Page is notable only for how very unshocking it is…

Review of Scary Movie 4 (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 18 Apr 2006

Thin on plot even by spoof standards, Scary Movie 4 runs like clockwork for 80 minutes. It's a movie strangely lacking in both comedic highs and lows…

Review of Hard Candy (2005)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 18 Apr 2006

The movie often talks circles around itself, trying to layer in subtext to cover for a slasher movie final act, but it was still enough to…

Review of Lucky Number Slevin (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 06 Apr 2006

Fans will compare it to Pulp Fiction or The Usual Suspects, but it's more like one of their knockoffs, glib enough to be diverting and nothing more…

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 06 Apr 2006

With the writers of Grandma's Boy, the director of Big Daddy, and Schneider, Spade and Heder, 'Benchwarmers' can't be accused of a stealth…

Review of Friends with Money (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 06 Apr 2006

Another plot-lite, character-heavy portrait of woman dealing with love, friendship and self-worth and Holofcener has little interest in adding…

Review of Slither (2006)

By Dan Fienberg (310) for Zap2it.com (379) on 30 Mar 2006

Gunn's directorial debut pays homage to so many classics with ample enough wit that most viewers won't care that Slither doesn't offer much…
