Review of Puccini for Beginners (2006)

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

Puccini for Beginners is littered with witty dialogue, although some of it is so obviously scripted that it can become off-putting…

Review of Superman Returns (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 26 Feb 2007

Superman Returns is not only a credit to the first two Superman movies; it may be the best of the series…

Review of A Prairie Home Companion (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 26 Feb 2007

This combination of storytelling, singing, and corny comedy is sometimes a little too slow and long-winded for its own good, but at least the…

Review of Reno 911!: Miami (2007)

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

Recommended only for die-hard fans of the TV show. Others are advised to wait until this is available in a smaller format…

Review of The Number 23 (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 21 Feb 2007

The movie isn't sufficiently lurid or campy to be enjoyable on an exploitative level and it's not well enough crafted to work as a more serious…

Review of The Astronaut Farmer (2007)

The Astronaut Farmer is one of those movies that makes an audience want to cheer and clap…

Review of Avenue Montaigne (2006)

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

Review of Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit (1993)

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

Those who like stale, formula-driven comedies with sickeningly-sweet happy endings, not to mention unbelievably-contrived plots, will find…

Review of 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 Feb 2007

What sets this apart from its many competitors for teen dollars is that not only does the movie feature a surprisingly edgy and intelligent…

Review of Because I Said So (2007)

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

Despite being rooted firmly in chick flick territory (with a high cuteness index), it has the capacity to please to viewers of both genders…

Review of Harsh Times (2005)

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

Harsh Times occasionally echoes Taxi Driver, Ayer's own Training Day, and even First Blood in the way it examines the psychological disintegration…

Review of John Q (2002)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 21 Jan 2007

Turns out to be hopelessly mediocre -- a poorly scripted, preachy fable that forgets about unfolding a coherent, believable story in its zeal…

Review of The Hitcher (2007)

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

This is a mechanical gore-fest that offers preposterous stunts in place of escalating tension and waxwork mannequins in place of marginally…

Review of Witness (1985)

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

Witness states its position about clashing cultures with eloquence…

Review of Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 14 Jan 2007

The problem with Mr. and Mrs. Smith is that it's really two movies in one…

Review of Primeval (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 13 Jan 2007

By the end of the film, I was hoping everyone on two legs would die, preferably suffering as much on screen as I was in the audience…

Review of Unleashed (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 08 Jan 2007

The film contains enough quiet, reflective moments for us to become aware how preposterous the central conceit is, and that keeps us at arm's length…

Review of Happily N'Ever After (2007)

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

This movie is the worst kind of offender: it thinks its funny and clever, but it is neither…

Review of Freedom Writers (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 Jan 2007
