Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 27 Oct 2011

Anonymous starts admirably quickly, but Emmerich repeatedly forgets to look over his shoulder to see if his audience is keeping track of which…

Review of Footloose (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 13 Oct 2011

Plotwise, though, Brewer's Footloose is anything but loose. In fact, it's rigidly loyal to the original, to the point of slavishness…

Review of Invictus (2009)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 07 Oct 2011

Not only does Invictus tell a remarkable story of a remarkable man, but it also illustrates how sports can be a salve to a wounded community…

Review of Restless (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 06 Oct 2011

As clearly calculated and self-consciously cutesy as it is, it's also tender and meaningful stuff -- and far more watchable than other recent…

Review of Shut Up Little Man! An Audio Misadventure (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 22 Sep 2011

Along the way, Shut Up, Little Man boasts nice technical elements. And it is, admittedly, amusing to a degree…

Review of Project Nim (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 15 Sep 2011

Extraordinarily engaging but surprisingly sobering…

Review of Straw Dogs (1971)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 15 Sep 2011

As it turns out, though, the most troubling part of the film for me wasn't the rape scene, or the siege scene or the Southern stereotypes…

Review of Dinner for Schmucks (2010)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 08 Sep 2011

It's probably best not to think very hard about any of it -- just dummy up and laugh along…

Review of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (1973)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 25 Aug 2011

One major reason it succeeds is because of 11-year-old actress Bailee Madison, who brings a wonderful believability to her role as the girl…

Review of Terri (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 25 Aug 2011

Leisurely paced and plot-challenged, it's too unique and kindhearted to be outright disliked, but it's not the kind of film you can get too…

Review of Fright Night (1985)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 18 Aug 2011

While this nouveau Fright Night does a reasonable job of maintaining the fun spirit of the original film, between the blood splatters and vamp…

Review of The Tree (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 18 Aug 2011

A movie with undeniable melancholy underpinnings, but Bertuccelli wisely avoids overdoing the drama to nurse cheap tears from her audience…

Review of One Day (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 18 Aug 2011

A movie that wants to be a crowd-pleasing romantic comedy at times and a weighty drama at others. It ends up being an imperfect blend of both…

Review of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 18 Aug 2011

Rather than a moving story of sisterly love, we get little more than a grandly appointed disappointment…

Review of The Change-Up (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 04 Aug 2011

You want a change-up? Here's a change-up: How about if Hollywood stops spoon-feeding us this uninspired pablum and comes up with a fresh idea or two…

Review of The Smurfs (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 28 Jul 2011

Clever story? Pass. Originality? Nah. A smidgen of real humor to keep parents entertained along with the kiddies? Smurf you…

Review of Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 28 Jul 2011

The engine that really makes Crazy Stupid Love go is the same one that has made Ficarra and Requa's films to this point so appealing: While…

Review of Hesher (2010)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for New Orleans Times-Picayune (573) on 14 Jul 2011
