The Video Station: (303) 440-4448

Don’t let the fancy-sounding English accents fool you. Harry Brown is a vigilante flick, pure and simple, a bleak and bloody blending of Death Wish and Gran Torino starring Michael Caine that just happens to be set in England.
Caine plays an ex-serviceman living in a South London neighborhood where gangs of drug-pushing punks [...]

As a movie, The Square, a low-budget Australian thriller produced sometime in 2008, is far less energetic than its DVD preview would have you believe, but is saved by a first-rate script that renders it reminiscent of the best noir flicks.

I hated this lazy family flick with, well, a vengeance. It’s awful. Basically an hour and a half of star Brendan Fraser being humiliated by a bunch of animals. You might be able to tolerate it if you’re under 9, but adults should try not to look directly at the screen while it’s [...]

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more apathetic actor right now than Sam Worthington, an Australian whose appearances in Terminator Salvation and the gazillion-dollar-grossing Avatar have inexplicably transformed him into Hollywood’s go-to guy for big-budget CGI extravaganzas, the latest being this adequately entertaining remake of the cheesy 1981 fantasy flick.

Under no circumstances should you confuse Repo Men with Repo Man. Sure, they both feature fair-haired actors whose characters repossess things for a living.

Try as she might, Jennifer Aniston is not a movie star. Yet she clings stubbornly to the dream, hoping to find Friends-size success on the big screen. She sure won’t achieve it with The Bounty Hunter, a lazy, tired and utterly charmless high-concept romantic comedy co-starring Gerard Butler.

Something in an Iowa farming community’s water is turning the townsfolk into homicidal maniacs. So goes the scenario of director Breck Eisner’s effectively frightening redo of George Romero’s 1973 virus-run-amuck classic The Crazies.

It would be easy to believe that Judd Apatow was behind this raunchy-but-sweet comedy, with its abundant talk about sex and such, but the man actually had nothing to do with what ultimately feels like a lazy little brother to Knocked Up.
In that film people were shocked when overweight schlub Seth [...]

Denzel Washington speaks softly and wields a very big knife in The Book of Eli, a stylish post-apocalyptic action tale directed by The Hughes Brothers that essentially serves as an $80 million sermon about the power of Christianity.

Only in a movie would a woman with Kristen Bell’s looks need to inadvertently cast a spell to have men fall in love with her. Yet that’s what happens in When in Rome, a predictable but fitfully funny romantic comedy starring the blonde Bell and fellow fair-haired human Josh Duhamel.
