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

Review of The Bounty Hunter (2010)

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

Review of Hummingbird (2013)

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

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

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 Margaret (2011)

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

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 John Carter (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 09 Mar 2012

There are plenty of entertaining moments to latch onto beneath the sci-fi tropes -- and maybe even a few that will inspire a new generation…

Review of Winter's Bone (2010)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 06 Mar 2012

Review of A Separation (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 02 Mar 2012

It's the little moments in Farhadi's film that are its most important, speaking every bit as loudly as its big, narrative-driving moments…

Review of Pina (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 02 Mar 2012

Review of Something to Talk About (1995)

By David Baron (32) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 26 Feb 2012

It's rambling and unfocused, but still fresh enough to break the usual Hollywood mold…

Review of The Secret World of Arrietty (2010)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 17 Feb 2012

That's some admirably mature stuff for a kid's flick in this day of rampant pandering, but it also helps rob the film of a certain breathless,…

Review of The Big Fix (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 14 Feb 2012

Along the way, a raft of experts are featured -- including Times-Picayune outdoor editor Bob Marshall -- speaking bluntly about the cozy relationship…

Review of The Swell Season (2012)

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

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 10 Feb 2012

Review of A Serious Man (2009)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 04 Feb 2012
