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. |

"The Wolfman", which hit theatres on Feb. 12th after a number of delays that kept it from its original November release, sports an incredibly dynamic cast of well-decorated actors. However, not even Academy Award winning Benicio Del Toro and Anthony Hopkins were able to pull it out from the depths of mediocrity. |

Planning to take a nap in the movie theater? If you're looking to get into the Halloween mood by checking out a scary movie, don't bother seeing "The Stepfather." |

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. |

"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. |

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

"The Wrestler" is an uncured slab of meat. Bleeding raw, it beckons the flies that swarm about it, developing the sweet stench of realism. Darren Aronofsky's resurgent film work values just that: the art of human life over pretense. |
|
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. |

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. |

Wow. It’s the best word to describe the movie 300. The plot is simple. A group of 300 Spartans must stop the forces of the Persian Empire from invading Greece. Yet to see this played out on the screen is visually stunning. Wow is just right. |

Even before it hit the theaters this past Friday, Kevin Smith's latest film, "Clerks II," received alot of attention in the press. Following a critic's screening of the film in New York City, reports began to surface that long-time ABC television critic Joel Siegel had endured 40 minutes of the feature before storming out of the theater. |

Director Kevin Smith has always been in very close touch with his fanbase. He regularly organizes Q&A sessions and signing appearances, as well as makes regular appearances in both of his comic book shops (appropriately named "Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash"). When his films are released to the home video market, Smith always makes sure that his packages are chock full of special features and bonus attractions that any fan would endlessly cherish. But with the making of his latest film, the sequel to his debut feature "Clerks," Smith is giving his fans perhaps the best gift of all: constant updates. |
