The Switch

Buried

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 09:40:07 GMT

With no action scenes to shout about and it's not shot on what seems a requirement these days for movies – 3D, you'd think this movie would not make the cut. But it does, big time.

The Other Guys

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 09:40:07 GMT

There’s a lot to chuckle at in this buddy-cop comedy, but just as many jokes fall by the wayside; mostly they misfire or just ... collapse, much like the perverse financial systems that the movie tries to skewer.

You Again

Thu, 14 Oct 2010 09:40:07 GMT

Imagine being bullied in school, then imagine years later that school bully being a part of your family! What will you do?

Going The Distance

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

Erin is about to leave to San Francisco in 6 weeks, Garret works and lives in New York. They fall in love with each other and go for the impossible – a long distance!

Grown Ups

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

With the best comedians in the business, you know you can expect nothing less than laughs and guffaws in Grown Ups.

Step Up 3D

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

A follow-up from the previous Step Up 2, Moose has vowed to retire from dancing and is getting ready for four years in engineering only except during orientation at Central Park, he is drawn to a dance troupe and is suddenly whisked back into dancing competitions in the heart of New York City.

Piranha 3D

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

You know you're going to see this movie regardless what the review is. There's blood. There are flesh-eating fishes. There are bikini-clad women!

Resident Evil: Afterlife

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

With the so-called 3D movies coming out these days, it's good to know that this one really was shot using the 3D technique. Too bad about the storyline though.

Devil

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

5 people get trapped in an elevator, while strange things start to happen to them. Is one of them responsible for the strange activities, or is someone (or something) else amongst them?

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

As a movie reviewer, I cannot lay claim to know all that happened in 2008 when Wall Street suffered a shattering earthquake that rattled and reverberated throughout the world causing us to question where we should seek safety if even our financial institutions were not safe.

Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

Here's Donnie Yen in the role originated by Bruce Lee 40 years ago. The gallant defender of China's honour destroys half the Japanese army to avenge his friends and salvage his country's dignity. Great action, but needless subplots bog this one down.

Eat Pray Love

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

Eat Pray Love has to be one of the most boring films to grace the silver screen the past year. It is self-centered, whiny, long-winded and you may glance at your watch at least three times before the credits come up.

Charlie St. Cloud

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 16:13:13 GMT

The pace of Charlie St. Cloud is reminiscent of films like A Walk to Remember and The Notebook.
