At one point, Statham chases down a sports car while pedaling madly on a kids' bike. Pathétique! -

The acting is better than the script deserves and Lexi Alexander's cut-to-the-hearse direction lends the film considerable kick. -

Faced with the script's weak humor and feeble stabs at irony, Schwartzman and Stiller turn it way up, setting the dial at "hammy." -

The aquatic and surf scenes are spectacular. The story, a clichéed climb to inspiration. Soul Surfer is more parable than plot.- Posted Apr 7, 2011

The film would be a moth-eaten mess without the wisecracking animals. Not that it's funny with them.- Posted Jul 7, 2011

Rarely has a film so equally balanced macho and nacho, but Wrath does leave us with a few valuable lessons: a.) fratricide is a nasty business, best left to the Greeks and b) fighting fire with fire may sound good, but it turns out to be a really stupid idea.- Posted Mar 29, 2012

The problem is that these stoic warriors infect Act of Valor with more wooden acting than you'd see at a ventriloquism school.- Posted Feb 23, 2012

Hit & Run is a pleasant enough diversion - but more of the PPV persuasion.- Posted Aug 22, 2012

The left hand doesn't know who the right hand is shooting in State Property 2, Damon Dash's prodigiously muddled thug-life sequel. -

This one is so bad that even Ed Norton couldn't get this mess to move through the sewer. -

This insipid take on the teens-in-peril formula, with a snake-bit ghoul chasing kids around the bayou, is truly a fangless task. -

Doom is, to its detriment, a remarkably faithful re-creation of the massively popular video game. In other words, it's a dark, violent, nerve-wracking, trigger-giddy waste of time. -

The script is a stupid mix of Teutonic tongue twisters (say hello to Herr Schniedelwichsen), hoary German cliches (from phallic sausages to U-boat spoofs), and bad slapstick. -

Can be described as whatever is the opposite of a Christmas classic. -

The whole project is a cloying, artificial mess. The slapstick comedy doesn't bite, and the formulaic sentimentality doesn't grip. -

As a cinematic experience, it's like being locked in a coffin for an hour and a half. -

You would think any movie with the word "salmon" in the title would have to be funny. Think again. -

If you actually sit through this enervating ordeal, you'll swear that time is Frozen. -

It's hard to understand what Malevolence is doing in theaters. If ever a movie deserved to go directly to DVD, it's this dreary horror treatment. -
