Summer of Same: August 2009
With names like Tarantino, Lee, and Zombie, the final month of the season pulls out all the film geek stops. Still, the only guarantee is familiarity, not freshness.

Live Free or Die Hard
Bruce Willis' career may not have mandated a fourth trip into Die Hard territory. Who knew that action fans needed it so badly?

Die Hard Neocon
In yet another Die Hard film this summer, Bruce Willis will reprise his role as John McClane. But can the public stomach the implicit politics that animate him?

Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
Bruce Willis as John McClane is back, recalling all the retro rightness and righteousness he first incarnated in 1988.

Catch and Release (2006)
That this film somehow managed to attract such an array of diverse talent, and was marketed as a feminine romantic comedy, will confound viewers to no end.

Monkey Business (Part 2: June)
Apparently, as the sun's strongest rays finally settle over the movie going public, sequels are the remedy to cool down an overheated demographic. This month alone holds five examples of such redux refreshment. The rest of the choices are a variety pack of genres, ideas and possibilities.

That this movie doesn’t find a way out of the morass of generic cliché and triviality isn't surprising, but it is disappointing.

The Girl Next Door: Unrated Version (2004)
The film begins by introducing just how hard it is to be in high school -- a good and difficult thing for adults to remember.

The Girl Next Door (2004)
For all its raunchy allusions and language (and porn stars), the film is essentially conservative, as Matt succeeds in romance and business.

A Man Apart (2002)
It's sad that the wife is dead, of course. More painful is the death scene per se, as Vin Diesel has to play something approximating tragedy.

Dreamcatcher (2003)
One thing you can say about 'Dreamcatcher': you can't really say one thing about it.
