Review of Yes Man (2008)

By William Goss (413) for Cinematical (752) on 17 Dec 2009

A ready-made Christmas-time crowd-pleaser that pretty much plays it safe, even in its cruder moments, and will be in circulation on cable soon enough…

Review of Gamer (2001)

By William Goss (413) for Cinematical (752) on 17 Dec 2009

While it is brash and absurd and funny in fits and starts, it also seems to lose its nerve as it goes on…

Review of Marley & Me (2008)

By William Goss (413) for Cinematical (752) on 17 Dec 2009
