Review of Savages (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 28 Nov 2007

From an acting standpoint, Blake Lively makes a compelling case that she doesn't have what it takes to play this sort of a role; she lacks…

Review of The Savages (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 28 Nov 2007

These are fascinating, three-dimensional individuals brought into the foreground by a pair of today's finest actors…

Review of Hairspray (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 Nov 2007

The film isn't deep or thematically rich or filled with amazing characters…

Review of Enchanted (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 Nov 2007

While this is certainly not the first motion picture to blend drawn creations with real life actors, no movie to date has approached it quite…

Review of Starting Out in the Evening (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 Nov 2007

It's a gentle, unhurried drama about how people can connect with each other through conversation, nonverbal gestures, and writing…

Review of Beowulf (1976)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 15 Nov 2007

Regardless of the medium, this is an effectively brutal story of swords, sorcery, demons, and heroes, with an Oedipal hint or two thrown in…

Review of Anaconda (1997)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 12 Nov 2007

The biggest flaw can be summed up in a short phrase: lack of excitement…

Review of No Country for Old Men (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 07 Nov 2007

It’s mostly an off-kilter road trip that accomplishes what the Coens do best - seamlessly merging drama, violence, and quirky humor into a whole…

Review of Martian Child (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 03 Nov 2007

Martian Child wants to make us cry. It nearly made me gag. This is an exercise in shameless and inept emotional manipulation…

Review of The Woodsman (2004)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 30 Oct 2007

It takes a confident actor to accept a role like this and to perform it to flawless perfection…

Review of Interview with the Assassin (2002)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 27 Oct 2007

This film offers a compelling scenario of what could have happened…

Review of Dan in Real Life (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 Oct 2007

Beneath its aw-shucks, wants-to-be-liked exterior, this is a bankrupt motion picture. It's cloying, artificial, and not the least bit romantic…

Review of Welcome to Mooseport (2004)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 20 Oct 2007

Welcome to Mooseport's satirical edge is dull and pitted, the screenplay is overlong and uninteresting, the comedy is soft and shapeless, and…

Review of 30 Days of Night (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 19 Oct 2007

Works on its own terms, which is more than can be said of most horror films these days. If this is the kind of movie you're looking for, it delivers…

Review of Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 17 Oct 2007

Things We Lost in the Fire deals frankly and openly with the wounds -- some obvious, some not so obvious -- that are left by the tragic, untimely…

Review of The Siege (1998)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Oct 2007

It's a thinking person's thriller, where pyrotechnics give way to plot, character development supplants fight scenes, and adrenaline does not…

Review of Control (2013)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Oct 2007

In essence, Control is a standard order biopic of a tormented artist…

Review of Control (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Oct 2007

In essence, Control is a standard order biopic of a tormented artist…

Review of Control (2004)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Oct 2007

Story-wise, this picture doesn't break new ground; this is a tale that one can find littered throughout the pages of history both recent and…

Review of The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 04 Oct 2007

The occasional laughs provided aren't frequent enough or uproarious enough to warrant an investment of nearly two hours of a viewer's time…
