Review of Kill List (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 19 Apr 2012

It's a bit of a slow starter, but once it gets going, Kill List achieves a steady, nail-gnawing intensity and unpredictability…

Review of Think Like a Man (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 19 Apr 2012

It's not only shameless, it detracts from what this movie could have been, and still is when the self-promoting Harvey shuts up…

Review of Chimpanzee (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 19 Apr 2012

Chimpanzee is so skillfully crafted, and the big-hearted outcome so endearing and entertaining, that any narrative liberties taken to aid in…

Review of The Lucky One (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 19 Apr 2012

As with its gooey, smoochy predecessors, The Lucky One is, beneath it all, a fairy-tale romance, just one with modern trappings…

Review of The Bounty Hunter (2010)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 15 Apr 2012

Even if The Bounty Hunter is more plot-driven than your standard romantic comedy, it's never quite as funny as it should be…

Review of Hummingbird (2013)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 13 Apr 2012

Review of L!fe Happens (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 12 Apr 2012

A girls-night-out comedy that strives to be the next Bridesmaids or Sex and the City -- but that never quite captures the spark of either…

Review of Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 05 Apr 2012

The surrealist and decidedly bizarre humor of Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim is, to put it mildly, an acquired taste -- and there's no guarantee…

Review of American Reunion (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 05 Apr 2012

In the half-baked American Reunion, though, they might have accomplished what no previous chapter has: They might have just killed it…

Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 29 Mar 2012

Review of Margaret (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 29 Mar 2012

As well-shot and well-acted as it is, one can't help feeling there's a good movie in there somewhere…

Review of The Hunger Games (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 23 Mar 2012

Katniss is gritty, she's flinty, she's intimidating -- and she doesn't have to compromise one iota of her femininity for it…

Review of October Baby (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 23 Mar 2012

With a scattered, meandering script, a stable of throwaway characters and an almost laughably drawn-out ending, it's all amounts to standard…

Review of 21 Jump Street (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 16 Mar 2012

Without a doubt, stupid, but it's willfully stupid, built in the comic style of The Hangover and Due Date…

Review of Jeff, Who Lives at Home (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 16 Mar 2012

Review of Michael (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 09 Mar 2012

Intentionally unnerving from the first moments, it's a hard movie to watch, but it's also fantastically, agonizingly suspenseful…

Review of Michael (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 09 Mar 2012

Writer-director Markus Schleinzer's exceedingly dark drama -- guaranteed to make audiences squirm in their seats -- is emotionally unsettling…

Review of Pariah (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 09 Mar 2012
