REMEMBER ME
Mopey people have mopey romance with mopey film-lighting and mopey soundtrack. Then cheap-shot ending destroys any empathy you may have had for the film.
GREEN ZONE
If you can get past the frenetic, nauseating, hand-held camerawork, you might actually enjoy this high-octane actioner about a rogue soldier trying to expose the truth about America’s mission in Iraq.
OUR FAMILY WEDDING
Cultures clash – and clash and clash and clash – in this clunky comedy that tries so very hard to manufacture conflict where there really isn’t any.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Tim Burton’s journey down the rabbit hole is something of a cinematic mish-mash: partly fantastic, partly disappointing... and, entirely, needlessly in 3D.
PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE
Haunting and disturbing, with a performance by Mo'Nique that you won't be able to shake for days, Precious is difficult to watch, but tells a story that needs to be told.
THE HURT LOCKER
Better sit on a plastic bag, because The Hurt Locker is so intense that you may just soil yourself.
CRAZY HEART
Jeff Bridges has already earned a slew of award nominations for his work in this redemption drama, but it would have been nice if the film itself had as much “for your consideration”-worthy material for the rest of its cast.
THE BLIND SIDE
The Blind Side has nothing but noble intentions. It is a feel-good movie with an inarguably positive and noble message. It's just too bad that it is kind of bland.
