Review of Hancock (2008)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 30 Jun 2008

Sometimes funny, sometimes clever, and occasionally involving, but it's never brilliant and its edge is compromised by the neutering that accompanies…

Review of Species II (1998)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Jun 2008

The only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is…

Review of Posse (1993)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Jun 2008

Despite its numerous problems, Posse remains an entertaining film…

Review of Drillbit Taylor (2008)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 20 Jun 2008

The Apatow formula is pretty simple: raunchy comedy, likeable characters, and a dash of sweetness (but nothing too sweet)…

Review of No Reservations (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 17 Jun 2008

No Reservations may not be a modern day classic but, despite the relatively small budget, it has more heart than nearly anything currently…

Review of The Godfather Part III (1990)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 15 Jun 2008

One of the most obvious problems with The Godfather Part III is that it covers little new territory. The plot is highly derivative of the original…

Review of The Notebook (2004)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 12 Jun 2008

Sadly, the elements that made the book special did not survive the transition to the screen…

Review of The Departed (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Jun 2008

The original film was gritty and entertaining (Infernal Affairs); the new version is a masterpiece - the best effort Scorsese has brought to…

Review of Fargo (1996)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Jun 2008

It's easy to admire what the Coens are trying to do in Fargo, but more difficult to actually like the film…

Review of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

Captures some of the sense of fun that infused the first movie while using the addition of Sean Connery to up the comedic ante and provide…

Review of A Christmas Story (1983)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

It's those moments and others and the way they are tied together by Shepherd's tongue-in-cheek narration that cements A Christmas Story as…

Review of Diary of the Dead (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

All-in-all, the intelligence of the approach combined with good old-fashioned zombie blood-and-gore (as opposed to the slicker, sicker torture…

Review of A Short Film About Love (1988)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

There is more real feeling in this brief feature than in a hundred full-length Hollywood romantic comedies…

Review of Meet the Feebles (1989)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

While I found parts of it diabolically clever and funny, I thought the setup was overlong and certain aspects of the production either didn't…

Review of A Short Film About Killing (1988)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

A Short Film About Killing is as grim as a motion picture gets, but the intelligence and insight applied to its themes will keep the viewer…

Review of The Wizard of Oz (1939)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2008

Not only is it wonderfully entertaining, but the issues it addresses, and the way it presents them, are both universal and deeply personal…

Review of Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 07 Jun 2008

Has once again caught lightning in a bottle and unleashed it on audiences, blending humor, adventure, and a lot of nifty special effects-enabled…

Review of The First Wives Club (1996)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Jun 2008

Unfortunately, although there are a few nasty thorns here and there, The First Wives Club is a largely uninspired (and unfunny) comedy that…

Review of Saw IV (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 05 Jun 2008

It's a depressing experience to view something like Saw IV. It's not just the soullessness that's dispiriting, but the lack of invention…

Review of I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 04 Jun 2008

There's nothing here to appreciate for anyone who isn't a Sandler fan and, unfortunately, too little even for those who have dubbed themselves…
