Articles tagged "chi mcbride"PopMatters Pick TV ReviewPushing Daisiesby Marisa LaScala[4.Oct.07] :. Pushing Daisies features super-saturated colors and bright, bold patterns, a perfect antidote to the dark and grainy moodiness that permeates most primetime dramas.  Film ReviewThe Brothers Solomonby Tricia Olszewski[7.Sep.07] :. The jumble of styles would be a momentum-killer even if the jokes did work, but an overwhelming number don't.  DVD Film ReviewRoll Bounce (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[6.Jan.06] :. 'Teenage boys alone in Chicago for the summer spells trouble, especially with a lot of pretty extras around,' says Malcolm Lee.  TV ReviewKiller Instinctby Todd R. Ramlow[29.Sep.05] :. Despite its frequent reveling in eroticized violence against women, Killer Instinct demonstrates some awareness of the problem. Film ReviewRoll Bounce (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Sep.05] :. While Roll Bounce means to be feel-good, its formulaic route to that end is often tedious.  DVD Film ReviewI, Robot (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[13.Dec.04] :. 'It's harder and harder to make straight-ahead sci-fi and straight-ahead comic book movies,' says Akiva Goldsman. The Terminal (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[6.Dec.04] :. The saga of Viktor Navorski (Tom Hanks) is an apt reflection of what might be termed a global fear. I, Robot (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[15.Jul.04] :. These green-screen jamborees are utterly summer-blockbustery (or maybe just Will-Smithy), but they also tend to substitute for ideas. The Terminal (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[17.Jun.04] :. Viktor is pronounced 'unacceptable', a man without nation, identity, or status. Narc (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Jun.03] :. Both Henry and Nick are addicted, in different ways, to the job, the adrenalin it churns up. Paid in Full (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Apr.03] :. It's not a standard issue dealer movie, featuring strong performances, a shrewd narrative structure, and subtle, smart resistance to stereotypes. Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)by Cynthia Fuchs[28.Feb.03] :. Deemed 'The Next Tom Cruise' by 'GQ' magazine, the prolific, asthmatic, and charismatic Dark Man X continues to power his way into the movies.

As familiar as this story sounds (and is), Ace is hardly your usual somebody. Undercover Brother (2002)by Cynthia Fuchs[31.May.02] :. Peppered with Chappellian hilarities (and the man can riff), it is more like Austin Powers than a hard-hitting satire, minus Mike Meyers' mania, plus Lee's deft direction and Griffin's own brand of energy. Disney’s The Kid (2000)by Cynthia FuchsBruce Willis has a good eye for little boy screen partners.

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)by Cynthia FuchsContrary to its titular promise of speed speed speed, this latest Jerry Bruckheimer actioner takes pretty much forever to get to its wholly predictable and humdrum finale. Gone in 60 Seconds... Boston Publicby Jessica HarbourBoston Public is, in short, a view of high school that dovetails with conservatives' worst fears: here, teachers can't teach because the students are too horny and violent to learn. |
