Review of Planes (2013)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 06 Aug 2013

While visually engaging, this production of Disneytoon Studios -- it was originally slated to go direct-to-DVD -- lacks the sort of character…

Review of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters (2013)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 05 Aug 2013

The Thor Freudenthal-helmed sequel lacks the energetic zip of its predecessor…

Review of The Messengers (2007)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 04 Aug 2013

A tepid ghost story filled with all the usual things that go bump in the night minus the somewhat crucial element of suspense, this bland effort…

Review of Baby Mama (2008)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 19 Jul 2013

Baby Boom serves up plenty of smart, knowing laughs early on, but by the time it hits the third act (or would that be trimester…

Review of Wasteland (2013)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 10 Jul 2013

Wasteland is a deconstructed heist film that eschews the genre’s usual quick cutting and gritty visuals in favor of a quieter, more intimate…

Review of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Jun 2013

A blissfully silly, character-driven road movie with impressive laugh-per-minute performance specs…

Review of Despicable Me 2 (2013)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 16 Jun 2013

While the new edition doesn’t quite catch that inspired spark, there’s still plenty to enjoy here courtesy of those zippy visuals and a…

Review of Epic (2013)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for Hollywood Reporter (2,966) on 22 May 2013

While it might not amount to epic animated filmmaking in terms of scope and invention, Epic, a 3D, CG adventure-fantasy from Blue Sky Studios,…

Review of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 13 Apr 2013

A shapely sequel that retains much of the sparkle and warmth that made the original such a pleasant surprise…

Review of Riding the Bullet (2004)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 09 Apr 2013

Both the anticipation factor and writer-director Mick Garris' slick adaptation fail to live up to the old hype…

Review of Perfect Stranger (2007)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 30 Mar 2013

The star wattage quickly dims in this slick-looking but ringingly hollow affair that starts off generically at best before collapsing into…

Review of Saving Private Ryan (1998)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 Mar 2013

A harrowing World War II epic about the struggle to uphold decency in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, the visual masterwork finds…

Review of Dead Man Down (2013)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 07 Mar 2013

More of a character-etched mood piece than a tautly calibrated caper, Dead Man Down benefits from potent visuals and a compelling international…

Review of Fool's Gold (2008)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 18 Feb 2013

A soggy, listless affair, this would-be fun-in-the-sun sunken-treasure frivolity starts taking on water from the get-go, thanks to drawn-out…

Review of Cars (2006)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 17 Feb 2013

It might not be way up there in The Incredibles/Finding Nemo/Toy Story stratosphere, but the charming Cars is nevertheless a thoroughly pleasant…

Review of The Net (1995)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 12 Feb 2013

Irwin Winkler's The Net, which should have worked a lot better than it does, is a glossy, intricately plotted, mostly implausible suspense…

Review of Stander (2003)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 22 Jan 2013

Attempts to pass itself off as a fast-paced caper picture doubling as a socially conscious apartheid drama but ends up equally unconvincing…

Review of Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 19 Jan 2013

In terms of inspiration or even the slightest shred of ingenuity, Banks ranks more like an 000 than an 007…

Review of Pride and Glory (2008)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 01 Jan 2013

The stark drama harkens back to Sidney Lumet classics like Serpico and Prince of the City-filmmaking that went after an unadorned, jagged realism,…

Review of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

By Michael Rechtshaffen (1,086) for The Hollywood Reporter (7,050) on 25 Dec 2012
