Review of Citizen Ruth (1996)

Review of Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 May 2017

With 3-D, a little goes a long way and, in the absence of a legitimate script with credible characters, the fun dries up long before the running…

Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 May 2017

It’s fast paced but goes nowhere new and the film’s “bigness” makes it hard to remember what an amazingly unexpected treasure The Curse…

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 25 May 2017

The waterlogged end product is an example of lazy writing and direction with the vague hope that perhaps the involvement of Dwayne “The Rock”…

Review of Up (2009)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 15 May 2017

Up is not as transcendent as last year's WALL-E, and doesn't rank near the top of Pixar's pantheon of great features, but it's a solid (and…

Review of Rushmore (1998)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 11 May 2017

Rushmore is one of those films that's so inconsequential that its memory threatens to fade away before the end credits have finished rolling…

Review of Snatched (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 10 May 2017

Review of The Condemned (2007)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 06 May 2017

Review of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 May 2017

Review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 02 May 2017

Review of The Circle (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Apr 2017

The end result is a meandering story featuring shallow, unconvincing characters attempting to illustrate the evils of technology in its undermining…

Review of Free Fire (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 22 Apr 2017

Free Fire isn’t a “Reservoir Dogs for the 2010s” but there are enough similarities in approach, tone, and style to warrant a comparison…

Review of The Lost City of Z (2017)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 21 Apr 2017
