When confronted with real problems--and there's enough melodrama here to top a movie-of-the-week marathon on Lifetime--these otherwise empowered characters seem helpless to defend themselves. -

There's no question that Civil Brand has an ambitious premise, but it feels boxed in by the standard prison-movie formula. -

Despite its preposterous leaps of logic, it somehow still emerges a reasonably entertaining summer blockbuster. -

Zombie's film plays more like an experimental pastiche than an outright homage to those classic road-trip-gone-wrong movies. -

At best, this movie functions as a brief companion piece to Boy George's new Broadway show, “Taboo.” -

The studio wimped out, and the result is a lesser production on every level: talent, script, content, and purpose. -

Director Brad Anderson (Session 9) overtly cribs from everyone from Dostoevsky to Kafka. -

An ambitious disaster, Alexander is the rare historical portrait that leaves you feeling as though you know less about its subject than you did upon entering the theater. -

Kevin Spacey is a darn good actor, and he's a pretty good singer to boot. But those traits alone do not excuse the painful experience to be had sitting through Beyond the Sea. -

Close is the best and worst thing about the film, delivering a performance that upstages even Christopher Walken (!), taking her over-the-top Cruella de Vil turn to its saccharine-sweet opposite. -

Absence of motive makes the movie provocative; the explanation renders it irrelevant and defuses any interesting debate the film might have inspired. -

In the age of reality television, Paparazzi feels desperately out-of-touch, the jaded grousings of an industry burnout. -

Diesel valiantly but unsuccessfully tries to raise this inane bit of Mr. Mommery above its afternoon-special standing. -

Swedish director Mikael Håfström's Derailed makes "Fatal Attraction" look positively subtle, while mustering none of the nuance or moral complexity (not to mention the sexual chemistry) of "Unfaithful." -

Berry is giving a performance much too earnest to have been intentionally campy, setting herself up as a veritable shoo-in for this year's "Worst Actress" Razzie. Me-ouch! -

Kranks is the type of grim holiday movie that reminds you of all that is noxious and insincere about the Christmas season and then chases it down with a sickly-sweet reversal -

Movies in which the same person serves as writer, director, and star should carry a special warning for audiences, even if that individual happens to be an actor as endearing as Luke Wilson. -

There's enough estrogen gone awry in this bitchy teen comedy to make "Mean Girls" look like a Disney after-school special. -
