Review of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 24 Sep 2014

From the start, it's obvious that this is a vehicle for his comedy, and it mostly works -- for about ten to fifteen minutes…

Review of Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 20 Sep 2014

Possesses the rare ability to make an audience laugh (and laugh hard) and cry, without ever seeming manipulative or going hopelessly over-the-top…

Review of A Walk Among the Tombstones (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 20 Sep 2014

The white hats are stained dark gray as if by ashes and soot. The villains are twisted, cruel, and vile. The heroes aren't much better…

Review of Kick-Ass (2010)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 19 Sep 2014

The best superhero movie since The Dark Knight (and far less serious in tone or approach), Kick-Ass earns its name in every way…

Review of The Maze Runner (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 17 Sep 2014

Despite a strong opening and riveting first 45 minutes, The Maze Runner devolves into one of the weakest post-apocalyptic Young Adult movies…

Review of This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 17 Sep 2014

Even considering some of its late-innings flaws, this is an engaging movie that doesn't mistake histrionics and bile for solid family reunion drama…

Review of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 16 Sep 2014

The performances are uniformly strong and there are some powerful scenes but the overall story arc is less insightful or affecting than one…

Review of The Drop (1965)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Sep 2014

The Drop's unpredictability is organic rather than sensationalistic…

Review of The Drop (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Sep 2014

The Drop's unpredictability is organic rather than sensationalistic…

Review of The Drop (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Sep 2014

The Drop's unpredictability is organic rather than sensationalistic…

Review of Ulee's Gold (1997)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 Sep 2014

The highest compliment I can offer Ulee's Gold is that it plays more like real life than a movie…

Review of The Strangers (2008)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 Sep 2014

This is one of those rare horror movies that concentrates on suspense and terror rather than on gore and a high body count…

Review of Fair Game (1995)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Sep 2014

Fair Game is howlingly bad - so awful, in fact, that it can actually be enjoyed on a certain level…

Review of Crows (1995)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 08 Sep 2014

This short and simple film is beautiful not only in its emotionally-honest story but in its cinematography…

Review of Gran Torino (2008)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 Sep 2014

An amazingly over-the-top anti-racism parable but, despite its obvious shortcomings, it is nevertheless effective and affecting…

Review of Shall We Dance? (2004)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 31 Aug 2014

I walked out of the original Shall We Dance? with a silly grin on my face. I left this one shaking my head, wondering where it had all gone wrong…

Review of The November Man (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 28 Aug 2014

The November Man feels like just about every B-grade spy thriller that has ever been committed to the silver screen…

Review of Find Me Guilty (2006)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 Aug 2014

Despite being saddled with bad prosthetics and a ridiculous wig, Diesel displays more acting ability than in the testosterone-soaked genre…

Review of When the Game Stands Tall (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 21 Aug 2014

When the Game Stands Tall is one of those cliché-riddled feel good movies that, by trying too hard to be inspirational, ends up as cloying…

Review of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 21 Aug 2014

This movie is mostly about visual razzle-dazzle and riffing on film noir conceits…
