Reviews: Film

The new thriller from "Training Day" director Antoine Fuqua takes the viewer on a journey through the lives of three unconnected New York City cops. The drama does not let up from beginning to end, making for a suspenseful ride.

"The Crazies" is a twisted horror film that wasn't half as bad as I expected. This remake of the 1973 classic features violent freaks, action sequences and an anti-government sentiment. A few stars, an interesting plot and down-to-earth characters really pull this movie together.

Who is Patient 67? In "Shutter Island," it is all Leonardo DiCaprio cares to find out. Based on the book by Dennis Lehane, this Scorsese adaptation delivers over two hours of mind-twisting suspense. While it has its flaws, the film is definitely worth a look.

Watch This, Not That" is a regular guide that saves you the trouble of suffering through the bad movies to get to the good ones.

The Saw movie franchise has become a staple of Halloween, and this year's October 23rd release of "Saw VI" is no different. "Saw VI" has a very current bent, as the subject of Jigsaw’s grisly tests is a health insurance executive who developed an algorithm to mathematically determine who will be denied health insurance.

Drew Barrymore’s first directed film, "Whip it," opened in theaters on Friday Oct. 2. A mixture of wild, funky bohemian mix-matched fashion and spontaneous moments that kept the audience interested were tied tight together like the roller-skates of the rebellious girls who battled it out in the derby ring.

Paul Aufiero’s (Patton Oswalt) life is the New York Giants. He almost literally lives, eats and breathes the Giants. It’s too a point where even his family considers him a pathetic individual. Director/Writer Robert Siegel offers a realistic take on the life of an obsessive fan's world.

The hype may not be similar to that of "Watchmen" or "The Dark Knight," but to say that I wasn’t anticipating the film "Adventureland" would have been a complete understatement.

In this world, superheroes (almost always) don’t get any superhuman powers. Superheroes are political.

Alfredson's provocative tale of a child-vampire seduces us into the dark with well-acted, yet unaffected characters that eerily promise to persevere even if we stop watching.

Seldom does a genre incite the kind of audience camaraderie that a horror film can. “Quarantine” solicited every gasp, scream, laugh, and jeer without the expense of good taste.

There certainly is no intelligence allowed in Ben Stein's recent documentary, Expelled. In the film, Stein is searching through academia not for Ferris Bueller, but for the so-called "fascist" dictations that mainstream science, which supports evolution, has cast upon intelligent design.

Julie Taymor’s “Across the Universe” is visually amazing, but to call it a movie stretches the definition of one. It consists of a two-hour string of music videos tied together with only a sketch of a plot.
