Review of Kon-Tiki (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 01 May 2013

The movie is a pretty humdrum affair when it focuses on humans, even when actors are playing characters based on real people…

Review of The Company You Keep (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 10 Apr 2013

The navel-gazing grows obnoxious, especially as the people on screen seem more like archetypes than characters…

Review of Mental (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 28 Mar 2013

There is a lot of yelling and emoting and it all gets strident very quickly — as in, the first 10 minutes…

Review of Jack the Giant Slayer (2013)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 27 Feb 2013

One reason it works so well: The film always looks believable, and it’s easy to get wrapped into Singer’s fairy-tale world…

Review of Bless Me, Ultima (2013)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 22 Feb 2013

The lyrical book is filled with touches of magical realism. On the other hand, the movie is sorely lacking in both magic and realism…

Review of Side Effects (2015)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 06 Feb 2013

It starts out as one type of film and ends up as another, and manages the transition seamlessly…

Review of Side Effects (2013)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 06 Feb 2013

Ultimately, think of the movie as a puzzle box in which all the pieces fit together wonderfully well…

Review of Broken City (2013)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 17 Jan 2013

There are plot twists galore, but they unfold in ham-fisted fashion, as if the screenwriter (newbie Brian Tucker) didn't know how to layer…

Review of The Guilt Trip (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 20 Dec 2012

The Guilt Trip surprises by avoiding the obvious. It zigs when you expect it to zag…

Review of 3, 2, 1... Frankie Go Boom (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 22 Oct 2012

The film never really goes soft, as Jordan Roberts never loses sight of the fact that these toxic nincompoops are authentically bad for one another…

Review of Alex Cross (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 17 Oct 2012

The resulting film, despite its occasional outbursts of action and tension, is less an action film than a psychological thriller, although…

Review of Taken 2 (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 03 Oct 2012

Granted, the film lacks the kicky element of surprise that made the first movie so enjoyable, but it's hard to gripe too much…

Review of Pitch Perfect (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 26 Sep 2012

A comedy about an all-female collegiate a cappella group. And to paraphrase one of the characters in the movie, it's A-Ca-Awesome…

Review of Dredd (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 19 Sep 2012

This breathless science-fiction thriller isn't just gory…

Review of Samsara (2011)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 12 Sep 2012

The film winds up being a collection of striking visuals without any emotional heft…

Review of Sparkle (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 16 Aug 2012

Sparkle is pure melodrama, but it's a high-powered, well-acted, entertaining melodrama. You may not always believe it, but you won't be bored…

Review of Sparkle (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 15 Aug 2012

Sparkle is pure melodrama, but it's a high-powered, well-acted, entertaining melodrama. You may not always believe it, but you won't be bored…

Review of The Dictator (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 15 May 2012

For the most part, the movie's rhythms feel slightly off -- there are long stretches without a laugh -- and there is a mean-spirited air to…

Review of A Little Bit of Heaven (2011)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 May 2012

There is nothing the slightest bit heavenly about this project, which is wrong-headed in just about every department…

Review of Casa de Mi Padre (2012)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 15 Mar 2012

You expect the big joke in Casa de Mi Padre to involve Will Ferrell mangling the Spanish language…
