Review of The Star Chamber (1983)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 20 Nov 2012

Less original than the first Star Wars and less resonant than The Empire Strikes Back, but packed with fast-paced action and downright cuddly Ewoks…

Review of Owning Mahowny (2003)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Nov 2012

In the acting department, there's nobody on the current scene with more sheer talent --- or offbeat charisma -- than Philip Seymour Hoffman,…

Review of Southern Comfort (2001)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Nov 2012

This capably made HBO documentary takes an understated and compassionate look at a subject that is often sensationalized in other contexts…

Review of Return to Never Land (2002)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 16 Oct 2012

It's refreshing to see a cartoon that looks like a cartoon -- and a lovingly drawn one -- rather than a conglomeration of computer-generated…

Review of The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 12 Oct 2012

Lively characters, snappy dialogue, and snazzy visuals make this an uncommonly fine animation…

Review of The Brothers Grimm (2005)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Oct 2012

Gilliam has rarely been more inventive, energetic, or just plain funny…

Review of The Barbarian Invasions (2003)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 28 Sep 2012

A bit too neat and calculated to make the emotions ring really true…

Review of Prometheus (2012)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Tikkun (10) on 23 Sep 2012

Prometheus might have given serous thought to this premise, but it opts instead for strenuous action. Still, the film has glimmerings of intelligence…

Review of Last Dance (2002)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 22 Sep 2012

While it's not a blistering look behind the scenes, Last Dance gives a fuller picture of the creative process than most others of its ilk…

Review of French Kiss (1995)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 22 Sep 2012

French Kiss may have a more putatively foolproof formula, but everyone here has done vastly more interesting work. Too much gets lost in translation…

Review of Prince of the City (1981)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 20 Sep 2012

This movie swims freely in the moral ambiguities Lumet seems to thrive on…

Review of The Execution of Wanda Jean (2002)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 19 Sep 2012

The documentary is revealing and chilling, although it doesn't explore the inner workings of the American criminal-justice system as thoroughly…

Review of Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 09 Sep 2012

In sum, it's a quintessential summer film, especially if you're 8 years old and in the mood for a quick dose of mindless fun…

Review of You've Got Mail (1998)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 08 Sep 2012

Hanks and Ryan are as appealing as ever, and Ephron's fashion-conscious camera gives the action a slickly attractive sheen…

Review of Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 06 Sep 2012

Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle directed by Alan Rudolph, a wildly uneven filmmaker who's happily at the top of his form in this offbeat drama…

Review of A Lot Like Love (2005)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 28 Aug 2012

What's the point of the picture, except to allow Kutcher fans occasional peeks at acting talent he usually keeps hidden…

Review of Daddy Day Care (2003)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 23 Aug 2012

Murphy gives one of his more-restrained performances, which suits the mood of carefully contained mayhem established by Steve Carr, the director…

Review of Standing in the Shadows of Motown (2002)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 16 Aug 2012

Rollicking documentary that will have your toes tapping and your ears sizzling whether you're a die-hard Motown fan or not…

Review of Madagascar (2005)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 08 Aug 2012

The animation is deft but the screenplay is stilted, the voice-performances are unimaginative, and the whole project is surprisingly clumsy…

Review of Godsend (2004)

By David Sterritt (1,643) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 07 Aug 2012

How could such a high-octane cast produce such low-octane horror…
