Film ReviewHancockby Cynthia Fuchs[2.Jul.08] :. John Hancock is a black superhero desired and derided by crowds who are informed by spectacles, stereotypes, and fear.  DVD Film ReviewJunoby Jarrett Berman[14.Apr.08] :. Teens have their precious catchphrases and secret languages, but they're nervous, fumbling creatures. They don’t come equipped with Chaucer-like witticisms, or razor-sharp retorts.  Film ReviewJunoby Daynah Burnett[5.Dec.07] :.

Film ReviewMr. Magoriums Wonder Emporiumby Cynthia Fuchs[19.Nov.07] :. The adults aren't fully to blame for their dreariness, as they are saddled with a cumbersome script that too plainly emulates Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Film ReviewThe Kingdomby Cynthia Fuchs[28.Sep.07] :. Boasting charismatic stars and a topical focus on terrorism, the film adds one more cagey detail -- a hint of moral challenge to its own thrills-and-chills violence.

Arrested Development: Season Twoby Stephen Kelly[15.Nov.05] :. Twenty-two minutes of a single episode of Arrested Development is still funnier than an entire night of Must-See TV. Arrested Developmentby Jesse Hassenger[2.May.05] :. Arrested Development is too dense, too smart, too strange. These are all ways of saying that it's too good. Arrested Development: Season Oneby John G. Nettles[24.Nov.04] :. Arrested Development is Bad Behavior writ large, and it is the most consistently funny half-hour to grace the Idiot Box in a long time. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[17.Jun.04] :. The team is scrappy and determined, willing to endure repeated -- and I mean repeated -- batterings with wrenches and balls. Starsky & Hutch (2004)by Cynthia Fuchs[4.Mar.04] :. Who could have anticipated that Snoop would be the saving grace of a major studio buddy flick?" Arrested Developmentby Stephen Kelly[10.Nov.03] :. That Arrested Development mines its laughs by taking potshots at the filthy rich makes it so much more delicious. The Sweetest Thing (2002)by Todd R. Ramlow[11.Apr.02] :. The Sweetest Thing targets moviegoers who seek out the familiar and formulaic. Some of My Best Friendsby Michael AbernethyThe series premiere of 'Some of My Best Friends' was like a 'Reader's Digest' version of 'Kiss Me, Guido', with a few changes so that the writers couldn't be accused of total plagiarism. |
