By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 07 Mar 2008

Review of Diary of the Dead (2007)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 07 Mar 2008

Review of Honeydripper (2007)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 29 Feb 2008

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 22 Feb 2008

Review of A Man Named Pearl (2006)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 01 Feb 2008

Topiary folk artist and chainsaw-wielding 'plant whisperer' Pearl Fryar seems like a wonderful man, but the directors never justify the feature-length…

Review of Cloverfield (2008)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 28 Jan 2008

Suggests the influence of YouTube and (inevitably) 9/11, but actually belongs to the old-fashioned exploitation tradition as it uses state-of-the-art…

Review of One Missed Call (2008)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 21 Jan 2008

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 14 Jan 2008

The latest from the Apatow comedy factory abandons the relative realism of 'Knocked Up' and 'Superbad' for Mad Magazine-esque, 'Airplane…

Review of The Great Debaters (2007)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 27 Dec 2007

A sort of 'Glory Road' or 'Pride' rewrite that celebrates young people who are better at stringing words than shooting hoops or swimming laps…

Review of Juno (2007)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 26 Dec 2007

Review of Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 21 Dec 2007
