John Travolta is a ton of fun in this latest concoction from the Luc Besson action factory, swearing, strutting and shooting his way through the City of Lights with such obvious relish that you wish he hadn’t expended such energy in what amounts to an assembly line of a movie.

With his somewhat wolf-like appearance, Benicio Del Toro seemed to me an ideal choice to play the title character in Universal’s update of its 1941 horror classic. But the mumbly Oscar winner actually proves to be the weak link in this otherwise handsome, if bloody, production that represents the first R-rated [...]

As a guy, I’m pretty much the wrong gender to be reviewing any movie based on a book by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook), but here we are with Dear John, a particularly nasty piece of dude repellent starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried about a pair of pretty young people and [...]

I imagine trying to find a cure for a kid-killing disease would be anything but a walk in the park, but you’d never know it from watching Extraordinary Measures, a tepid, by-the-numbers tear-fest starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser that would feel right at home on the small screen.

The moment a sweet old lady with razor-sharp teeth started spewing obscenities and crawling on the ceiling, I knew I was in for a good time with Legion, an angels-at-war horror flick starring Paul Bettany and Dennis Quaid that one could sum up as The Prophecy meets Assault On Precinct [...]

Director Richard Curtis acknowledged in an interview that while someone should definitely make a serious movie about offshore radio broadcasting to the U.K. in 1966, his comedy Pirate Radio, which uses the issue as its backdrop, is merely meant to entertain. It does just that, too, using a hilarious cast [...]

Calling this follow-up to the 2007 box-office hit a “squeakquel” is bad enough, but it also begs to be the answer to a question on Jeopardy, as in, “What 88-minute movie about a trio of talking rodents has more subplots than Spider-Man 3?”

Hey, did you hear about Did You Hear About the Morgans? That’s OK. Neither has most of the country, as the movie, a lukewarm romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker, tanked at the box office a few months ago.
Your basic fish-out-of-water set-up, it sees the two stars [...]

I’m going to level with you. This alien abduction thriller starring Milla Jovovich purports to be based on real reports, but it’s really just Fire in the Sky meets The Blair Witch Project, a remarkably convincing but completely fictional tale that effectively unnerved me more often than not.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart again suffer mightily as a tortured teenage vampire and his seriously sulky soul mate in this follow-up to 2008’s toothless Twilight, but not nearly as much as the audience does in enduring 130 minutes of dreadful dialogue, awful acting and co-star Taylor Lautner and his [...]
