Review of The In-Laws (1979)

Review of Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jul 2006

Review of First Knight (1995)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 04 Jul 2006

Sean Connery is perfect for the King Arthur role. Too bad he isn't given more to do than stand around looking regal…

Review of The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 Jun 2006

Only time and Matrix Revolutions will determine if the material contained here is just a noisy, visually lively distraction or whether there…

Review of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Jun 2006

There is a reason why books are books and movies are movies, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas makes a pretty good case that the two don't…

Review of Cars (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 07 Jun 2006

Overall, if the film is not as funny as its predecessors, that's probably part and parcel of why it doesn't seem as enchanting…

Review of The Heart of the Game (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 Jun 2006

What really matters in this film are the lead characters - Resler and Russell - who are interesting enough to warrant such a cinematic endeavor…

Review of Wedding Crashers (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 05 Jun 2006

After a promising beginning, this movie crashes and burns…

Review of Underworld (2003)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 30 May 2006

An example of a vampire movie for the new century -- stylish, gothic, gory, and loud…

Review of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 May 2006

For those with any interest in 18th and 19th century seafaring or naval warfare, this is a must-see motion picture…

Review of Arlington Road (1999)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 May 2006

The screenplay stretches the viewer's credulity far beyond the breaking point, asking us to accept dozens of absurd contrivances and coincidences…

Review of The Da Vinci Code (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 18 May 2006

Individual scenes are entertaining in their own right, but the production as a whole is a lumbering mess…

Review of The Proposition (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 17 May 2006

The strength of The Proposition is its relentless moral ambiguity…

Review of She's the One (1996)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 15 May 2006

I'm sure there's an interesting story of sibling rivalry somewhere in She's the One, but Burns has cluttered it up with so much artificiality…

Review of Batman Begins (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 14 May 2006

The action scenes are, for the most part, kinetic and exciting - things that have rarely been true of fights and chases in the superhero's…

Review of Shopgirl (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 13 May 2006

This is a smart, adult romance that rarely panders to clichés, and gives up the heady bliss of most such movies in favor of something bittersweet…

Review of Just My Luck (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 12 May 2006
