Review of Child of God (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jul 2014

As a McCarthy adaptation, it’s an abject failure; as a piece of art - damaged trash, it occasionally delivers the requisite squirms…

Review of Cabin Fever: Patient Zero (2014)

By Nick Schager (2,294) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jul 2014

A pandemic thriller infected with horror-film clichés, Cabin Fever: Patient Zero ditches the nasty allegory of Eli Roth’s original and Ti…

Review of The Last Airbender (2010)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jul 2014

The Last Airbender isn't that much different from the rest of this summer's generally dire multiplex fare-from The A-Team to Jonah Hex…

Review of Sunshine Cleaning (2008)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 29 Jul 2014

There is a time and a place for scruffy independent also-rans like this, and that time and place is the 2 a.m. slot on IFC…

Review of Next Stop Wonderland (1998)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 27 Jul 2014

What's good about Next Stop Wonderland -- and nearly good enough to warrant recommendation -- has nothing to do with Anderson's sloppy, disjointed…

Review of Hercules (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 24 Jul 2014

Unsurprisingly, Johnson makes for a perfect movie-star Hercules, and the film gets a lot of mileage by playing his charismatic-but-modest take…

Review of Walking Tall (2004)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 21 Jul 2014

To its credit, the new Walking Tall is a good half-hour shorter than its predecessor, but even at 86 minutes, sitting through it is a chore…

Review of The Last House on the Left (2009)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 19 Jul 2014

It's now a straight-up crime and retribution flick, capped off by the dumbest wolf-feeding coda a 13-year-old ever dreamed up…

Review of The Prince of Egypt (1998)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Jul 2014

Rendering in high drama the story of Moses one moment and then underscoring that drama with songs filled with banal you-can-make-it-if-you-really-try…

Review of Supercross (2005)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 17 Jul 2014

Since the focus is on the track, the filmmakers aren't out to reinvent the wheel, but for such a simple piece of formula storytelling, they…

Review of Sex Tape (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Jul 2014

It’s less a movie than a bad sitcom episode stretched to feature length and raunched up to an R rating…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Jul 2014

Review of Hitman (2007)

By Tasha Robinson (753) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 15 Jul 2014

By the time Olyphant leaves an enemy in the most ridiculous deathtrap since the '60s Batman, just because it looks kinda neat, the whole project…

Review of Cool Runnings (1993)

By David Anthony (1) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 11 Jul 2014

Though it certainly has faults, which only the extremely nostalgic could ignore, the film bests its contemporaries through its ability to unite…

Review of Avatar (2009)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Jul 2014

Avatar is a weak patchwork of his other films: the leaden voiceover from Terminator 2 here, the military/civilian conflict from Aliens there,…

Review of The Benchwarmers (2006)

By Nathan Rabin (1,078) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 10 Jul 2014

For the first two acts, veteran lowbrow director Dennis Dugan at least keeps The Benchwarmers' pace brisk and the wall-to-wall soundtrack upbeat…

Review of Rage (2014)

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky (836) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 08 Jul 2014

Unfortunately, eccentricities are few and far between in the movie, with sleepy action that bungles its best ideas (like its potentially interesting…

Review of In America (2003)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 05 Jul 2014

While In America doesn't convince as an immigrants-in-the-U.S. story, it resonates powerfully as a portrait of grief and reconciliation…

Review of Rosewood (1997)

By Keith Phipps (1,177) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 04 Jul 2014

Deliberately paced at the outset, the film slowly establishes a sense of hatred that makes the violent explosion of the film's second half…

Review of The Cove (2009)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 03 Jul 2014
