Review of Death Sentence (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 31 Aug 2007

The result is such a mish-mash of conflicting tones and ideas that it doesn't play well on any level…

Review of Surf's Up (2007)

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

If you have to see one penguin movie, this is it…

Review of Halloween (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Aug 2007

This is not a good movie but, considering what Halloween has evolved into over the course of seven sequels, it's perhaps better than it has…

Review of Club Paradise (1986)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Aug 2007

Eminently watchable and consistently entertaining...It has a candor that is unexpected and refreshing in a sea of too-often generic teen-themed films…

Review of Selena (1997)

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

This is a simple story of hope and triumph, of one girl with the drive to succeed defying the odds and following her dream…

Review of The Nanny Diaries (2007)

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

Weak dramatically, and that limits its overall effectiveness…

Review of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

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

Labeling this as a movie is almost an injustice. This is an experience of epic scope and grandeur, amazing emotional power, and relentless momentum…

Review of Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 Aug 2007

This time, it's not because mainstream movie-goers in this country lack taste but because the film isn't worth buying a ticket to see. Mr…

Review of Right at Your Door (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 Aug 2007

While this is admittedly not lighthearted mainstream fare, the subject matter is interesting and is handled in a manner that offers a compelling…

Review of The Hottest State (2007)

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

Hawke has made this movie his way and the result is a story that is by turns romantic and disquieting. It's well worth the price of admission…

Review of Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 18 Aug 2007

Speed 2 can be numbered among the worst second chapters ever made…

Review of Brazil (1985)

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

Brazil can be enjoyed without knowledge of the behind-the-scenes circumstances but the rich irony of the parallels between Gilliam and his…

Review of American History X (1998)

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

May be flawed, but it's not easily forgotten…

Review of Nicholas Nickleby (2002)

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

As a means to bring a classic novel to the attention of a modern audience, McGrath's Nicholas Nickleby is a success…

Review of Rush Hour 3 (2007)

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

It's hard to think of a sadder commentary about Hollywood's sequel fetish than the existence of Rush Hour 3…

Review of Rocket Science (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Aug 2007

The problem with Rocket Science is that the character at the center of the drama isn't very energetic or, truth be told, interesting…

Review of Stardust (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Aug 2007

There's less whimsy to be found here than in The Princess Bride, but the film is likely to appeal to the same group of older children and adults…

Review of Stardust (1922)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Aug 2007

There's less whimsy to be found here than in The Princess Bride, but the film is likely to appeal to the same group of older children and adults…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 01 Aug 2007

There are enough similarities between the movie and Pride and Prejudice that one could be forgiven thinking this screenplay is Austen lite…

Review of 300 (2007)

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

300 may not offer masterful storytelling in a conventional sense, but it's hard to beat as a spectacle and that makes it worthwhile viewing…
