Review of Thor (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 12 May 2011

It achieves a good balance of action and comic relief and-despite a ridiculous set-up-turns out to be a decent family drama on top of all that…

Review of Scream 4 (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 30 Apr 2011

This is what happens when a movie series that's stuffed so full of red herrings, movie references, and meta musings about its own plot finally…

Review of Hanna (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 30 Apr 2011

It doesn't engage with the morality of the situation she's in, but it provides the audience with a kind of a dark fairy-tale perspective of…

Review of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

By Eric Melin (822) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 30 Apr 2011

It may start off as a lighthearted, excess-filled, party-road-trip movie, but Depp is reigned in a little towards the end as his character…

Review of Le Cercle Rouge (1970)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 10 Apr 2011

Melville views it all at a distance and with a slow kind of precision that is missing from modern movies…

Review of Your Highness (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 09 Apr 2011

It's supposed to be a send-up of 70s fantasy films, but all it really does is recycle a bunch of crude jokes so obvious and unfunny even Cheech…

Review of The Tourist (2010)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 02 Apr 2011

I'm afraid the stars' vacation videos are probably more interesting than this poorly handled mistaken-identity caper, which isn't funny enough…

Review of The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 02 Apr 2011

In a nice twist, the central mystery of the plot is solved about halfway through the movie and it then becomes about some clever legal maneuvering…

Review of Fair Game (2010)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 02 Apr 2011

Fair Game is interesting if only to witness the war of words on both sides and see the actual damage [Plame's] outing caused…

Review of Sucker Punch (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 02 Apr 2011

Tacking on a bunch of pretentious voice-over nonsense about angels and self-realization doesn't get Snyder off the hook for a movie that doesn't…

Review of Paul (1974)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 18 Mar 2011

It doesn't have any of the invention of the pair's last two outings. Overall, Paul is a genial, unremarkable movie that skates by on its charm…

Review of Red State (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 13 Mar 2011

It offers some very tense moments, and some good, old-fashioned revenge escapism, but in an effort to make it a straight genre film, Smith…

Review of Four Lions (2010)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 13 Mar 2011

[It is] a biting, laugh-out-loud funny satire that dares to poke fun at Jihadi terrorists and one of the blackest, funniest comedies in recent memory…

Review of Red Riding Hood (2011)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 13 Mar 2011

This shameless, joyless affair hinges on a whodunit mystery that is so obvious in the first reel, it leaves you wondering: Is that all there…

Review of Love & Other Drugs (2010)

By Eric Melin (822) for Scene-Stealers.com (667) on 13 Mar 2011

The movie has lots of scenes of the two leads in bed together, but it can't decide whether it's a big issue film, a romantic comedy or a weepy…
