Bridge to Terabithia

 


critics corner ....

Here's what the critics are saying about the recent releases at the theatres

Newsweek calls Breach "a wonderfully taut cat-and-mouse thriller."

The Hollywood Reporter says in Breach "everything comes down to the acting. Chris Cooper, one of our finest screen actors, gets inside the mysterious traitor. Ryan Phillippe has just the right gung-ho determination tempered with a touch of naivete."

New York Magazine says, "Cooper's performance is outlandishly great, but Phillippe's knocks Breach down a peg."

The Village Voice says of Breach, "This is a spy movie bereft of the genre's usual, casual kicks. It's not interested in cheap thrills or playing gotcha with the audience -- which isn't to say parts of it aren't exhilarating."

USA Today says of Music and Lyrics, "This appealing romantic comedy undertakes the conventions of the formula without an inordinate amount of cliches."

The Hollywood Reporter calls Music and Lyrics "an agreeably loopy romantic comedy that bounces along effortlessly on the genuine chemistry of leads Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore."

Premiere magazine says of Music and Lyrics, "The music is catchy. The actors are likeable. It's all pleasant enough to watch, but ultimately it's about as substantial as a pop song. Though it's unlikely to stay with you quite so long."

The Hollywood Reporter says, "Daddy's Little Girls may be heavy-handed and drearily predictable, but it also should connect with its core audience as solidly as [director Tyler] Perry's previous efforts did, even if the drama is frequently just as over the top as its predecessors."

The LA Weekly says director "Perry has great casting instincts, and in Idris Elba and Gabrielle Union he's matched two gifted, equally gorgeous actors, both of whom seem ready to make sparks fly. If only their director would let them."

The Chicago Tribune says of Bridge to Terabithia, "Elaborately mounted, expensively produced and filmed with style and empathy, it's an adaptation of Katherine Paterson's Newbery Medal-winning book that manages to expand the original vision, yet preserve much of its intense emotion."

The Hollywood Reporter says Bridge to Terabithia "incorporates the novel's magical and emotional elements without overplaying either  a balance that hasn't always proven easy to maintain in the world of kid-lit adaptation."

Variety says of Bridge to Terabithia, "Some literal-minded attempts at magical realism are redeemed by the film's emotional texture, winning chemistry between the tyke leads, and scrupulous adherence to a childlike point of view."

 

 

NORBIT with Eddie Murphy, Thandie Newton, Terry Crews, Clifton Powell
Norbit brings fat  fun to theaters on Friday  starring Eddie Murphy as a  mannered guy in a bad relationship with a monstrous woman, played by Eddie Murphy. Murphy also plays his adoptive Asian father "Mister Wong." He plays mr. wong sooooo well the cast membersdidn't even know it was him when he showed up on set.... The 1st one fooles was Cuba Gooding Jr.

 

HANNIBAL RISING-- Rhys Ifans, Gong Li, Gaspard Ulliel, Helena Lia
Hannibal Rising opens Friday. This is the long-awaited  prequel to The Silence of the Lambs chronicles the formative years of serial killer "Hannibal Lecter," from childhood horrors during World War Two to his turning the tables on brutal war criminals. French actor Gaspard Ulliel stars in the title role ( which Anthony Hopkins made famous ) with Gong Li, Kevin McKidd ("Vorenus" on HBO's Rome) and Dominic West ("McNulty" on HBO's The Wire). It's based on the novel by Lambs author Thomas Harris


 

BREAKING AND ENTERING--  Jude Law
no information to tell you 


FYI ! 

Norbit co-stars Eddie Murphy and Thandie Newton have both been up for Razzies. Murphy has four past nominations, including one Worst Actor nod for the three 2002 films The Adventures of Pluto Nash, I Spy and Showtime. Newton was nominated in the Worst Supporting Actress category for 2000's Mission Impossible Two. Conversely, Newton won a British Academy Award for Crash, and Murphy is up for an Oscar for Dreamgirls.

Norbit is the sixth film in which Eddie Murphy has played multiple roles, following Coming to America, Vampire in Brooklyn, The Nutty Professor, Nutty Professor Two: The Klumps and Bowfinger.

Norbit was co-written by Eddie Murphy and his brother Charlie.

Hannibal Rising went through the working titles Behind the Mask, Young Hannibal and Young Hannibal: Behind the Mask.

Hannibal Rising was filmed in Lithuania, France and the Czech Republic.

critics corner ....

Here's what the critics are saying about the recent releases at the theatres

Entertainment Weekly says, "In Norbit, Eddie Murphy is like a xylophone player who keeps banging away on the same two discordant notes  unfortunately, those monotonous, off-key tones are the characters he's playing."

The Austin Chronicle says the Norbit "script doesn't serve Murphy's multi-character talents in the way he deserves."

The Gannett News Service says, "Norbit is an embarrassment for Oscar nominee Murphy (Dreamgirls). Here's a new Oscar category  The Worst Movie Ever Released by Someone Currently Under Consideration for an Academy Award."

Gannett says Hannibal Rising "is an intriguing addition to the 'Lecter' canon. A gloomy, gruesome, but intriguing look at the formation of young Hannibal Lecter's psychotic character."

The Austin Chronicle says of Hannibal Rising, "Though gory and violent enough, it is almost entirely devoid of shock or suspense."

Time Out magazine says Hannibal Rising "is all relish, which is fine for a side dish but unsatisfying in a main."

critics corner ....

Here's what the critics are saying about the recent releases at the theatres

The Village Voice says, "Alpha Dog's worth a look for the performance of Justin Timberlake, the moral center of a movie sorely in need of some conscience. Already a gifted comic actor  his Saturday Night Live appearances are now anticipated events  he proves himself able to go to a pitch-black place."

Rolling Stone says in Alpha Dog, "Timberlake walks off with the movie. Too bad it's not worth stealing."

Entertainment Weekly says Alpha Dog director Nick Cassavetes "throws in everything he can recycle to grab a core-demo viewer  slutty teens making out, blaring rock music, guns, split screens."

The Austin Chronicle says of Alpha Dog, "It's a soggy drama said to be inspired by actual events  too serious to be trashy, too trashy to be serious."

The Austin Chronicle says Stomp the Yard "won't ever be accused of breaking new ground  it's too busy entertaining to worry about being original."

Entertainment Weekly says, "The shallow frat-on-frat rivalry and the poor-boy-loves-rich-girl subplot in Stomp the Yard don't mean a thing. But the stepping does got that swing."

Variety says, "The dancing is more dynamic than the plotting in Stomp the Yard, an energetic if formulaic underdog tale."

The Hollywood Reporter calls Arthur and the Invisibles "a fair-to-middling children's film that is half CG-animation and half live-action."

Variety says Arthur and the Invisibles "haplessly blends live-action and visually repellent computer-animated work."

The LA Weekly says of Arthur and the Invisibles, "Predictable and overly busy, this sci-fi adventure should nonetheless appeal to computer-game-savvy tots -while boring their parents silly."

 

Freedom Writers based on the book " Freedom Writers Diaries 2/7/2006)

critics corner ....

The Philadelphia Inquirer says of Code Name: The Cleaner, "there are better action scenes in marionette shows."

The Minneapolis Star Tribune says of Code Name: The Cleaner, "Cedric the Entertainer, whose standup comedy act is utterly endearing, is hung out to dry in this feeble spy comedy. It is not only pitched at 12-year-olds, it was apparently made by them."

Variety says Freedom Writers "takes the bold approach of being earnest, honest and unafraid to be called naive. As a result, it's extremely affecting."

The Hollywood Reporter says Freedom Writers "is both too short and too long at two hours-plus. Not enough time is spent with the teens and far too much with their teacher Hilary Swank."

The Austin Chronicle says Freedom Writers "offers few real answers to the problems teachers face."

The Village Voice says Happily N'ever After has "a barely sketched out story line and quantities of unimaginative CGI."

Entertainment Weekly says Happily N'ever After is "stuffed with stock characters -- the vain prince, the critter sidekicks  who adamantly stay stock."

Variety calls Happily N'ever After a "colorful, crowd-pleasing toon."

The Los Angeles Times says of Children of Men, "made with palpable energy, intensity and excitement, it compellingly creates a world gone mad that is uncomfortably close to the one we live in. It is a Blade Runner for the 21st century, a worthy successor to that epic of dystopian decay."

The New York Times says Children of Men "may be something of a bummer, but it's the kind of glorious bummer that lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking."

Entertainment Weekly says Children of Men is "a work of art that deserves a space cleared for its angry, nervous beauty."

The LA Weekly calls Children of Men "one of the year's most imaginative and uniquely exciting pieces of cinema."

The Los Angeles Times says Miss Potter "is at once a flagrant piece of kitsch and an unexpectedly affecting story about an individual overcoming personal tragedy and brutally restrictive circumstances by talent and force of will."

TV Guide says Miss Potter is "endearing without being especially engaging."

critics corner ....
Entertainment Weekly says it best.... Turistas, "with the exception of that lone squirmy surgery scene, is Hostel without sadism, thrills, or funky severed-limb FX. It quickly turns into a very dull escape thriller."   ehhh this means some critics think it really sux a**!

New York magazine reports Turistas "falls well below the mark set by the last Americans abroad torture-porn picture  Hostel."   ok, so 2 in a row is not a good sign.......

The Village Voice says, "Turistas eventually bogs down in an under-lit mess."  ok were batting 0 for 3 here..........

Newsday reports of Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj, "to make a movie this charm-less and uninspired takes a certain negligence that is rare among even the most cynical Hollywood moneymaking exercises."

The Hollywood Reporter says The Nativity Story "unfolds in a scrupulously accurate historical adventure story that depicts the world of Jesus's birth with an exciting you-are-there verisimilitude."

The Village Voice says in The Nativity Story "the actors register as little more than set dressing and, despite director Catherine Hardwicke's resolve to give us the real Nativity as we've never seen it before, much of the movie smacks of convention."

Variety opines, "Memories of dreary Sunday school classes come flooding back courtesy of The Nativity Story."

Entertainment Weekly says, "The Nativity Story is a film of tame picture-book sincerity, but that's not the same thing as devotion. The movie is too tepid to feel, or see, the light."

 

Casino Royale
Daniel Craig is the new "James Bond" in Casino Royale, opening Friday the 17th!.This adaptation of the very first Double-00-7 novel, previously adapted as a Peter Sellers-Woody Allen spy spoof in 1967, sends "Bond" on his first mission ....... a trip to Madagascar to spy on a terrorist.

Rolling Stone says "you won't know what outrageous fun is until you see Borat. High-five!"

The Chicago Tribune says "Borat is a rarity  a comedy whose middle name is danger."

The Village Voice says that "indeed, the man who invented 'Borat' is a masterful improviser, brilliant comedian, courageous political satirist, and genuinely experimental film artist. 'Borat' makes you laugh but [star Sacha] Baron Cohen forces you to think."

Variety calls Borat an "uproariously funny mockumentary."

The Hollywood Reporter says "delicious slapstick, droll wit and terrific characters make [Flushed Away] a great success."

Entertainment Weekly says that "Flushed Away lacks the action-contraption dottiness of a Wallace and Gromit adventure, but it hits its own sweet spot of demented delight."

Variety says Flushed Away is "long on invention but short on likability."

The Associated Press says that "down the chimney Saint Nick comes with a thud in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, the needless third -- and hopefully last -- time Tim Allen will suit up as the jolly old elf. Allen looks silly, tired and bored this time in the fat suit and beard, while the movie presents the irritating Martin Short as 'Jack Frost,' nipping at your nerves."

Newsday says that "as a full-service holiday movie, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause gets you into the mood to shop early and often by making the North Pole look like a shopping mall with a never-ending school pageant."

The Hollywood Reporter says of the South African apartheid drama Catch a Fire, "Comparisons to Hotel Rwanda make sense up to a point  both feature heroes who have the scales removed from their eyes  but Fire is no tearjerker, and here the story of the main character's conversion serves mainly as prologue to the main plot, a history-tinted cat-and-mouse policier."

Variety says of Catch a Fire, "Stories of resistance to oppression will never become obsolete, but this feels like a picture that should have been made a long time ago."

The Village Voice says, "Catch a Fire plays like some weird hybrid on the crazy-quilt filmography of director Phillip Noyce, which includes small productions made in his native Australia and the Sharon Stone sexcapade Sliver. What it's definitely not is the standard-issue movie about apartheid  there's no white protagonist, no pale-faced hero riding in on his high horse to save the oppressed black man."

Premiere magazine says Running With Scissors is "somewhere between American Beauty and The Royal Tenenbaums  indeed, the characters [Annette] Bening and Gwyneth Paltrow play in Scissors are, in a sense, inversions of their roles in Beauty and Tenenbaums, respectively."

USA Today says, "Running With Scissors lacks the edge of Augusten Burroughs' best-selling memoir on which it's based. The result is an inconsistent tragicomedy that attempts to be cut from the same darkly humorous cloth as American Beauty, but fails."

Variety says Running With Scissors "strives mightily to capture the bracing hilarity, pathos and surreal incident of Burroughs' bestselling memoir, but this rudderless adaptation never gets a firm grip on the author's deadpan tone or episodic narrative style."

Variety says the documentary Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing "should win over fans of the Chicks on the fence and of music documentaries and perhaps create a little cultural stir as well."

The Village Voice says Dixie Chicks: Shut Up and Sing is "not quite the Bush bash-fest its publicity might lead you to believe  it's closer to the Metallica doc Some Kind of Monster than to Fahrenheit 9-11."

 

The Prestige ............ Hugh Jackman and Scarlette Johanson...... magicians..... gets a 3 star, but takes too long to get to the point.

The New York Times calls Marie Antoinette "a thoroughly modern confection, blending insouciance and sophistication, heartfelt longing and self-conscious posing with the guileless self-assurance of a great pop song. What to do for pleasure? Go see this movie, for starters."

Premiere magazine says Marie Antoinette "churns a symphony out of a single note, too light and hermetically sealed in the minds of director Sofia]Coppola and her queen to transcend its artfully cared-for fluffiness."

The Village Voice calls Marie Antoinette "a graceful, charming, and sometimes witty confection -- at least for its first hour."

The Village Voice calls The Prestige "a lopsided yet absorbing movie in which the director is less drawn to his main characters than to those on the periphery."

The Hollywood Reporter says of The Prestige, "Audiences might enjoy this cinematic sleight of hand, but the key characters are such single-minded, calculating individuals that the real magic would be to find any heart in this tale."

Variety says The Prestige is full of "gimmickry and aspirations toward Les Miserables-style epic passion."

The Hollywood Reporter says, "Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers does a most difficult and brave thing and does it brilliantly. It is a movie about a concept. Not just any concept but the shop-worn and often wrong-headed idea of 'heroism.'"

Time magazine says, "Clint Eastwood has crafted a bold and meticulous epic."

The Village Voice says, "Flags of Our Fathers is to the World War Two movie what Eastwood's Unforgiven was to the western -- a stripping-away of mythology until only a harsher, uncomfortable reality remains."

The Associated Press calls Flicka a "paint-by-numbers update with dull dialogue and predictable action."

Premiere magazine gives Flicka two-and-a-half (out of four) stars.

 

THE GRUDE 2 
The Grudge 2 opens TONIGHT ! ! ! ! ! boooooo.

critics corner 

Variety calls Man of the Year "a curious hybrid ... a political-action-comedy-thriller in which Robin Williams becomes president of the United States. A movie as uneven as it sounds, Man is less laugh-out-loud funny than topical and suspenseful."

The Hollywood Reporter says Man of the Year has elements of "a political thriller with its own conspiracy theory, an improbable romance and a curious subplot that feels like an anti-smoking ad. Little wonder its bewildered star, Robin Williams, looks confused much of the time."

Entertainment Weekly says in Man, Robin Williams "turns out to be exactly the wrong candidate for the job, a comedian singularly uninterested."

The Village Voice says Man contains "a tangle of conspiracy theories and crackpot notions that sink the movie just when it begins to transcend expectations. In short, it would have been great if it had stopped, oh, 12 minutes in."

This week's other new releases, the horror flick The Grudge 2 and the kidnapping actioner The Marine, were not made widely available for critics to review .....  generally a sure sign of the titanic.....

 

 

 

THE DEPARTED
...... This movie is my pick all the way for the weekend..... 

One of the big movies opening this weekend is The Departed.... my pick for the weekend if your looking for mob style adventure..... The crime thriller from director Martin Scorsese stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a cop who goes undercover in the Boston mob and Matt Damon as a crook undercover in the Boston Police Department. Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Anderson and Alec Baldwin are also in the movie, making for a thriller, suspenseful, and crazy..... FYI ! " The Departed " is based on the 2002 Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs

Wahlberg returned to his juvenile delinquent roots lifestyle while shooting The Departed in his hometown of Boston. He says, "My growing up there has an effect on everything I do, whether it's obvious or not. I didn't have to do much homework. The only difference was that I was playing one of the cops that used to arrest me all of the time. I know a lot of those guys. You either become a crook or a cop or a construction worker in Boston -- there's not too much in between." Guess we'll have to check it !

Lee Ermey... not sure who they are, they might be the ones that get killed off early..... 

 

      

critics corner 

Rolling Stone calls The Departed "a new American crime classic from the legendary Martin Scorsese, whose talent shines here on its highest beams."

The Hollywood Reporter calls The Departed "a ferociously entertaining film."

Newsweek says, "The Departed is Scorsese's most purely enjoyable movie in years. But it's not for the faint of heart. It's rude, bleak, violent and defiantly un-PC."

Variety says Employee of the Month is "short of being truly memorable but sharper than the general slagheap of comedies."

The Hollywood Reporter says Employee of the Month "manages to retain a certain goofy appeal thanks to the stand-up efforts of its comically adept cast members."

The Hollywood Reporter says of Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, "The whole fear-of-obese-hillbillies device is starting to smell as stale as 'Leatherface''s playroom. Does this horror trend simply reflect a national fear, as giant radioactive ants personified the Bomb in the 1950s? If so, maybe it's time for us all to go on a diet  America needs fresh fodder for its boogeymen."

 

FLYBOYS

THE PROTECTOR

The Protector opens on Friday, finding a martial arts master taking on Australian mobsters to recover two elephants meant for the King of Thailand. Starring are Tony Jaa, Petchthai Wongkamlao and Bongkot Kongmalai.

 

Here's what the critics are saying this week 

The Village Voice says, "Although the action set pieces are impressive, the exposition is sluggish. For all the posh dollies, high angles, and Venetian-blind crisscross patterns, The Black Dahlia rarely achieves the rhapsodic (let alone the delirious)."

The Hollywood Reporter says of The Black Dahlia, "The second half feels heavy and unfulfilled, potential greatness reduced to a good movie plagued with problems."

Variety says of The Black Dahlia, "Chinatown it ain't, not in any department. On its own level, however, [it] generates a reasonable degree of intrigue."

The L-A Weekly says of Everyone's Hero, "The movie's antique Rockwellian look is its greatest pleasure."

Entertainment Weekly says "Everyone's Hero re-creates Depression-era America with surprisingly agreeable anachronistic panache, but a sassy ball and bat don't cut it as compelling cartoon characters, and the not-so-human humans never quite do either."

Entertainment Weekly calls The Last Kiss "a crowd-pleaser in the deepest sense it mixes heartbreak and happiness together until you don't even want to see them apart."

Variety says The Last Kiss "craftily combines elements that speak directly to three different generations, this accomplished ensemble piece is shaping up to be the surprise homegrown hit of the season."

The Chicago Tribune says, "While Last Kiss may strike some as a calculated crowd-pleaser, it's cleverly calculated, perceptive and often quite funny -- and a bit darker than it may first appear."

The Village Voice says of Gridiron Gang, "Never mind the obvious parallels to The Longest Yard and Remember the Titans, what we get here is one huge, indigestible sports movie platitude."

Entertainment Weekly says Gridiron Gang "parades itself as an 'honest' message movie, a call for troubled kids to choose life over street nihilism, but the picture is so earnest that it leaves out the easy, old-school pleasure conjured by the last few years of Disney sports flicks."

Entertainment Weekly says of Hollywoodland, "The chief frustration of this otherwise well-made, well-acted, well-heeled picture...is that it is so very self-absorbedly graceful about something so very insular and unremarkable."

The Hollywood Reporter says Hollywoodland "ultimately falls short of reaching the pleasingly pulpy heights of an LA Confidential or a Chinatown despite those obvious aspirations."

The LA Weekly says Hollywoodland "is brave enough to admit that not all failed movie careers are the result of evil corporate suits, and Ben Affleck makes us care that this likable but weak-minded man threw away what was solid and good in his life for the chimera of fame."

Variety says of The Protector, "Boasting the same refreshing avoidance of CGI and wire work as Warrior,  this slickly made production is more consciously aimed at the international market, with its Australian setting and multi-lingual dialogue."

The LA Weekly says the star of The Protector "has the skills for the job, and shows them off in numerous fight scenes   it's just a shame that the movie he's in is barely acceptable in any other respect."

 

CRANK
Crank starring Jason Statham as a hit man who has been poisoned and goes on a desperate hunt for the antidote. Amy Smart not only had to shoot a steamy sex scene while filming the action flick, she had to get down and dirty for producers and potential directors during her audition........ it was hot steamy, sexy, they all left a little relieved... so you will too ! hahahahahahahah

   BEERFEST--
Erik Stolhanske and Paul Soter. 

 

INVINCIBLE-
-Mark Wahlberg, Elizabeth Banks and Greg Kinnear. 

 

Entertainment Weekly says, "Idlewild is a romp, a ticket to rowdy good times."

Variety says Idlewild "achieves magic ..... something sorely missing from so many movies these days ....and does so via a philosophy of respect, but not reverence, for what's come before it. It never recycles, it just re-imagines."

Rolling Stone says of Idlewild, "This oddball mix of The Cotton Club and Six Feet Under is a big, beautiful mess."

The Hollywood Reporter calls Idlewild "an entertaining mess. It blends together musical styles and dances, historical periods with howling anachronisms, coy, almost childish gimmicks with R-rated sex and violence."

The Village Voice says, "Invincible joins Rocky or Hoosiers or Breaking Away as one of the few satisfying sports movies in which the foundation built upon a heap of cliches holds strong."

The Hollywood Reporter calls Invincible "a neatly packaged Walt Disney Company picture with bone-crunching football action and a nice sense of the blue-collar, male-dominated milieu that nourishes football fanaticism with]a few too many tugs at the heartstrings."

The Austin Chronicle says, "Invincible is like a thick, sweaty slab of NFL comfort food."

The LA Weekly says How to Eat Fried Worms "is one of those rare kiddie flicks that successfully adopt a child's-eye view of the world, where nothing is more important than saving face on the playground and where parents are as distant and clueless as storybook giants."

The Hollywood Reporter says of Worms, "Boys will be happy at the mild grossness, parents will tolerate anything that entertains."

Variety calls Worms "a decidedly old-fashioned family film that may prove too quaint for modern audiences."

The LA Weekly says, "Beerfest bubbles with the cheeky irreverence of early John Landis and David Zucker. Yet, like just about every other American screen comedy of the moment, it's far too long in the tooth, with a scattershot final half-hour that seems the work of an editor battling a bad hangover."

The Associated Press says, "Beerfest is like tapping a keg that's had a bumpy ride to the party ... the first pints keep coming up pure foam, with so much undrinkable froth you begin to wonder why you bothered showing up."

 

 

The World Trade Center
Depictions of what really happened on 911 directed by Oliver Stone and starring Nicholas Cage...........

 

                                                    Here is what the critics are sayin !

 
Variety says, "World Trade Center yields lovely and touching moments but proves a slow-going, arduous movie experience."

Entertainment Weekly calls World Trade Center "a scrupulous and honorable film. Yet it never comes close to being a revelatory one  it sentimentalizes more than it haunts."

The Hollywood Reporter says World Trade Center "is a film of terrific selectivity. By focusing on two of the few who did survive the collapse, the film achieves emotional power and an uplifting ending."

Time says, "Very simply World Trade Center is a powerful movie experience, a hymn in plainsong that glorifies that which is best in the American spirit."

THE DESCENT
New to theaters Friday is the British action thriller The Descent, which finds a group of girls sealed in a cave system with a race of monstrous humanoid creatures. Starring are Shauna MacDonald, Natalie Mendoza and Alex Reid.

                                                                    Here is what the critics are sayin !

 
The Hollywood Reporter says of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, "From its pitch-perfect title through just about every detail, this send-up of sports-triumph movies maintains the right parodic pitch, if not always the highest MPH on the laugh speedometer."

The LA Weekly calls Talladega Nights "not just the funniest but the smartest comedy around by a mile."

The Village Voice says in Talladega Nights Will "Ferrell reminds the audience of why he matters -- because he's the loudest, driest and most fearless comic actor working."

Variety says, "The chills and spills keep comin' to agreeable effect in Brit-made scare-fest The Descent."

The LA Weekly calls The Descent "compulsively watchable, with its fair share of effective sledgehammer shocks  it just isn't very good."

Entertainment Weekly says, "The director of The Descent is savvy enough to suggest even more than he shows. And he's old-school enough to load up on glimpses of good, clean, gruesome gore."

Entertainment Weekly asks, "Is The Night Listener a wintry drama with a few schlocky jolts, or an underdone psychological thriller straining for some dramatic heft on the side? Hard to tell, but either way, the movie doesn't cohere."

Variety says of The Night Listener, "Aiming for unsettling atmosphere over character definition, the dawdling mystery thriller manages to flatten two protagonists."

The Hollywood Reporter says The Night Listener "plays like an Alfred Hitchcock thriller but is nevertheless a movie of ideas. It bristles with intriguing thoughts about the realm of fiction, how one loves, issues of identity and questions concerning how one transfers a real-life incident into big-screen fiction. This is a film that can crawl inside your skin."

The Associated Press says Barnyard is "better than average" and "actually has a clever concept (the animals walk upright and hang out like humans when the farmer isn't looking) and it handles such sensitive topics as birth and death with unexpected grace."

The Orlando Sentinel calls Barnyard "another quick-and-dirty 'all-star cast' mess churned out by the digital start-ups hired to steal some of Pixar's cash."

 

Miami Vice 

Jamie Foxx and company.... It's not like the original, but it is the new in for the cast runing around Miami, boats, helicopters.... etc.....

The Ant Bully

John Tucker Must Die

Ashanti and the girls team up against the boy ! 

Scoop

A Scanner Darkly

and here is what to critics are saying about some of the movies out 

Entertainment Weekly says Miami Vice "is so cool that it's almost too cool. It takes the sin, and much of the juice, out of vice."

Variety calls Miami Vice "a slightly overblown TV episode, brimming with style and characteristically short on substance."

The New Yorker says Miami Vice is "about guns and sex and fast boats, and baffling as it is at times, it's still the kind of brutal fantasy that many of us relish a great deal more than yet another aerated digital dream."

The Hollywood Reporter calls Miami Vice "a frustratingly inert affair ...... a long and talky excursion that fails to engage the viewer from the outset."

The Chicago Tribune calls John Tucker Must Die "reasonably entertaining."

The Village Voice says of John Tucker Must Die, "Whatever the target demographic was in the pre-production phase, now it's limited to sexually active 14-year-olds still retaking the sixth grade."

Entertainment Weekly calls The Ant Bully "an effortlessly clever animated confection."

The Hollywood Reporter says The Ant Bully "feels anonymously generic and charmlessly mechanical."

The Chicago Tribune says The Ant Bully "lacks a sharp look and satisfyingly fleshed-out story and compensates with one numbing round of insect or human-based peril after another."

New York Magazine calls Scoop the first Woody "Allen picture since Sweet and Lowdown that doesn't leave a bad odor in its wake."

The Village Voice says Scoop is "so flat, dull, and off form that it seems to have been conceived in a fog. It not only lacks the verve and energy of Allen's best New York-based work, it feels culturally adrift."

Premiere says of Scoop, "What once was a gifted comic's fluid improvisation is now a doddering old man so embarrassing that Woody Allen is uncomfortable to watch, and the surrogate father-daughter needling he has with Scarlett Johansson is creepy when you realize Woody the director is shooting her seductively in that skintight bathing suit."

previously ....

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

The comedy My Super Ex-Girlfriend opens Friday, starring Uma Thurman as a superhero who uses her powers to torment her ex-boyfriend, Luke Wilson.

Clerks 2

director Kevin Smith's follow-up to his 1994 no-budget convenience-store comedy. The sequel finds now-30-something slackers "Dante" (Brian O'Halloran) and "Randal" (Jeff Anderson) getting fast-food jobs as they face the prospect of growing up.

Monster House

The animated flick with the voices of Steve Buscemi, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jon Heder, Nick Cannon and Jason Lee finds three kids discovering that a neighbor's house is a monster that must be stopped.

 

 And here is what the critics have to say

The Hollywood Reporter says Lady in the Water "does project genuine menace and suspense into this mundane location, especially in nighttime scenes. But the magic that would transport you from reality into fantasy is missing."

Variety calls Lady in the Water "a ponderous, self-indulgent bedtime tale. Awkwardly positioned, this gloomy gothic fantasy falls well short of horror."

LA Weekly says Lady in the Water "feels very much like something its author made up as he went along .... and if it weren't so damn weird, it would most certainly put you right to sleep."

LA Weekly calls My Super Ex-Girlfriend "a one-joke movie if ever there was, but the joke happens to be a good one  a Tracy-and-Hepburn-style battle of the sexes in which Kate can fly and blast through."

The Associated Press opines, "One of the freshest movie premises of the summer -- and one of the best casting choices, Uma Thurman as a superhero using her powers to exact payback on the man who jilted her ..... are utterly wasted in My Super Ex-Girlfriend."

Newsday says My Super Ex-Girlfriend "is one of those movies that make you ask why. Why was it made? Why did Uma Thurman waste her time? And most important, why is there 10 bucks missing from my pocket?"

Variety calls Clerks Two, "a softer, flabbier and considerably higher-budgeted follow-up to Kevin Smith's 1994 indie sensation that nevertheless packs enough riotous exchanges and pungent sexual obscenities to make its 97 minutes pass by with ease."

The Village Voice says Clerks Two "can't bear the strain of its amateur-hour theatrics, no matter how big its heart or how many crocodile tears it manages to squirt. The dramatic moments become melodramatic, the bawdy moments turn icky. The fans will eat it up."

Variety says of the animated Monster House, "Constant shock cuts and souped-up music and sound effects will keep small fry in a state of moderate petrification, while the trio of tweeny leads plus attitude-redolent cohorts will make teens feel welcome."

New York Magazine says Monster House "might be scary for small kids ...... but good scary, with goose-bump-inducing frames, witty repartee and three resourceful kid protagonists."

The Village Voice says "the coolest thing about Monster House is that Kathleen Turner's face was actually motion-captured to create the house's movements, but actual human beings on-screen might have ratcheted up the tension, of which there is none."

 

 Little Man  It stars Marlon Wayans as a tiny criminal on the run who goes undercover as an infant in the care of Shawn Wayans. Co-starring are Kerry Washington, John Witherspoon and Tracy Morgan. Directed by that crazy guy Keenan Ivory Wayans.

You, Me and Dupree . The comedy stars Owen Wilson as the slacker house guest from hell staying with newlyweds Kate Hudson and Matt Dillon. Michael Douglas co-stars.

Wilson admits he's been as bad a guest as his character, saying, "There've probably been some times that I've been like 'Dupree.' I know that my older brother Andrew says that my brother Luke and I wrecked his first marriage because we were always staying at his house. We had a ladder set up so we could go into the second story window, and one time Andrew had locked me out and I needed to get in to get some of my clothes and I fell through their ceiling."

Hudson, who is married to Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, is no stranger to having oddballs flop at their pad in real life. She says, "I actually kind of enjoy it. I enjoy a lively house. I enjoy weird characters .....there are two musician friends, English friends of ours, I have seen their penises one too many times. I mean, why? Why is it necessary for you to be walking around my house naked or to think that it's funny to flash me your penis?"

And Matt Dillon has also had crazy houseguest situations, he recalls, "I had a friend of mine who wasn't exactly Jack LaLanne. He was kind of a heavy set guy and when he was a houseguest, he liked to walk around in the buff, which is fine if he lives alone, but he's staying as a guest at my house. It didn't go over too well with my live-in girlfriend. He just felt free. He was into The Grateful Dead and he liked to walk around naked." hahahahah

A Scanner Darkly opens in limited release  Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Junior, Woody Harrelson and Winona Ryder in the not-so-distant future in the not-so-normal world, where crazy-drug-fueled citizens regularly spy on one another for the US government.

 And here is what the critics have to say

Entertainment Weekly says You, Me and Dupree "isn't a very funny movie (it preaches nonconformity in the rote style of an over-lit sitcom), but Owen Wilson, at least, keeps it afloat."

Variety calls Dupree "a middling third-wheel comedy elevated a couple of notches by the ineffably weird charms of Owen Wilson."

The Hollywood Reporter says the Dupree comedy "is obvious and flat while the drama is stale. They did do one thing right, however, they attracted a stellar cast."

The Village Voice says Dupree "goes from being another mildly depressing lump of unrealized comic potential to being an actively unpleasant experience."

The Associated Press says Little Man "is big on gross-out humor and slap-sticky sight gags that appeal to the lowest common denominator, but small on genuinely clever laughs."

The Orlando Sentinel gives Little Man two-out-of-five stars, saying "it delivers some of the biggest low laughs of the summer, just not enough of them."

The Chicago Tribune reviewer says of Little Man, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't laugh at some of this -- though it's not as funny as Laurel and Hardy."


 

 

Pirates of the Caribbean

Dead Man's Chest opens Friday. The follow-up to Curse of the Black Pearl finds Johnny Depp's pirate "Captain Jack" owing a blood debt to "Davey Jones," captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman. Co-starring are Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, and they all kiss in the movie... HOTTTTTT !

This film marks the first time Depp has played the same character in more than one film .... a pirate he patterned after Rolling Stone Keith Richards. Depp says of the role, "It's still shocking to me. I was handed this opportunity to make something of this character and had pretty solid ideas about who he was and what he should be like and everything  and there were a number of people who thought that I was nuts. But I was committed to the guy."

Some may think being a movie star on location in the Bahamas sounds fun, but Orlando Bloom isn't one of them. He tells us, "It's a paradise in one form or another, some people will go on vacation there, they'll spend two weeks, they'll scuba dive and at the end of the two weeks they're like, 'Yeah, I'm ready to go home.' You wouldn't be there for six months, eight months and you can't go home. You make it what it is."

Variety says of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, "There is a sense of bloat and where-do-we-go-from-here aimlessness to this unconscionably protracted undertaking."

Rolling Stone says, "Lively is an odd word for something called Dead Man's Chest, but lively it is. You won't find hotter action, wilder thrills or loopier laughs this summer."

The Hollywood Reporter says Johnny Depp "is the comic gel that holds [Dead Man's Chest] together. The performance is a total delight that somehow combines 'Bugs Bunny,' 'Peter Pan' and Charlie Chaplin."

The Los Angeles Times offers, "Intermittently fun and high-spirited, Dead Man's Chest sags under the weight of its own running time."

 


 

Superman Returns ....... Well, Superman Returns after being away for 6 years.......... Brandon Routh plays Superman and Kevin Spacey plays the evil Lex Luther..... Lois Lane has a child, and the saga continues..... in water, on land, and in space. 
 
Time magazine says, "The best Hollywood movies always knew how to sneak a beguiling subtext into a crowd pleasing story. Superman Returns is in that grand tradition. That's why it's beyond Super. It's superb."

Variety calls Superman Returns "grandly conceived and sensitively drawn."

Newsweek says, "This Superman, which infuses its action with poetry, soars as a love story filled with epic yearnings, thwarted desires and breathtaking imagery."

Entertainment Weekly says, "The surprise of Superman Returns is that it isn't a funky, ambitious conceptual re-imagining, like last summer's Batman Begins. This really IS your father's Superman."

Rolling Stone says, "Superman returns with a bang. Director Bryan Singer tarnishes his hero's halo with just enough sexual longing and self-doubt to make him riveting and relatable. That 'S' on his suit has a whole new meaning ...... he's a Soul Man."


THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA ................ This is the other movie opening this weekend ...... you may have seen the previews, here is the breakdown..... The Devil Wears Prada stars Anne Hathaway as a wide-eyed - bright eyes bushy tailed..... college graduate ( you know the type ... ready to set the world on fire ) who gets a job assisting a difficult magazine mogul, played by Meryl Streep.

___________________________________________________________________________

Click

A film that will make you laugh your a** off.... Adam Sandler gets a remote control that allows him to pause life whenever he feels a need to pause it, and change things up a little.... and Adam Sandler is known for employing all his homies..... Kate Beckinsale, David Hasselhoff, Henry Winkler, and more..... expect 1 hour and 45 minutes of laughs.........

Waist Deep

A urban style setting...... Tyrease, The Game, and Larenz Tate are back in action............

And here is what the critics are saying about the movies opening :
Premiere magazine says, "Click is yet another uninspired Adam Sandler goof-fest with a long-suffering leading lady, mildly bawdy gags  see Joe Schomo oogle female jogger and a predictable ending."

The LA Weekly says, "After an hour of predictably sophomoric antics involving foulmouthed kids, compulsively self-pleasuring canines and the rampant objectification of women, Click turns into a surrealist death dream in which Sandler's masochistic impulses flower onscreen as never before."

The Dallas Observer says, "Not everything jells, but Click is funnier and more elaborately clever than anything Sandler's done in years."

The Austin Chronicle says of Click, "Sandler is a post-Catskills goldmine of potential, he always has been, and when he's willing to break with tradition  a la Punch Drunk Love  he's downright revelatory. Not this time, though. This time he's just dying."

The Hollywood Reporter calls Waist Deep a "virtually nonstop crime actioner, set against the mean streets of Los Angeles, with pleasing noirish touches along with larger-than-life-size characters."

Variety says, "Waist Deep packs considerable energy and style into its tale of an ex-con forced back into a life of crime to rescue his kidnapped son. Yet the kinetic direction and occasional sly humor can't disguise the tale's banal brutality or pump much excitement into its routinized pileup of shoot-outs and car chases."

The LA Weekly says in Waist Deep Tyrese "Gibson and Meagan Good deliver such emotionally honest performances that we wish them a happy ending, no matter how many movie cliches have to be trotted out to get there."

    THE LAKE HOUSE

    A supernatural romance starring Sandra Bullock as a doctor who begins exchanging letters with a frustrated architect Keanu Reeves, only to learn that they're living two years apart.... interestingly enough, they connect.........

    Wow, Match .com eat your heart out on this one..... You'll be happy to hear that Bullock likes love affairs where lovers never meet, saying, "I think there's the luxury of not having 100% proof that you're ever going to meet this person. You're not fearful of sharing all of yourself, because you don't have anything to be fearful of....  I don't have to hide the parts of myself that I find ugly."  Hmmmm This movie looks really good ! 


    NACHO LIBRE

    Nacho Libre opens Friday. The comedy stars Jack Black as a Mexican priest who moonlights as a wrestler to save an orphanage..
    I just got back from the premiere and despite the few funny lines in the movie, over all, I would rather watch grass grow...... Sorry people, but this one is worth waiting till it hits regular TV in 6 months......
     

    THE FAST & THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT

    The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the third film in the high octane franchise starring Lucas Black as a troubled American gear-head who falls in with the Tokyo underworld. Bow Wow is also in this one, racing and being Bow Wow..........
     

    GARFIELD: A TALE OF TWO KITTIES

    Opening Friday is the family friendly, part animated flick Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties, featuring  Garfield with the voice of Bill Murray on a trip to England, where he's mistaken for royalty..... which means he gets fed a grip of Lasagna!  Jennifer Love Hewitt and Breckin Meyer co star in the film......


    AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH


    A serious documentary called An Inconvenient Truth opens in 420 theaters in Friday. The film captures Al Gore's worldwide campaign to call attention to global warming........

     

    And here is what the critics are saying about the movies opening :

     
    Variety says The Lake House "is never quite sure what it wants to be a magical mysterious love story, a psychodrama, a sprawling family saga or an uneasy combination of these."

    The Hollywood Reporter calls The Lake House "a slow moving, never igniting tale of calendar crossed lovers that grows less convincing as it proceeds."

    The Village Voice says the "ostensibly spooky romance yarn The Lake House flounders less on its thudding familiarity than on its mood-killing dourness."

    The Village Voice says "Nacho Libre plays like a Jack Black best-of, down to the song he wrote and performs...that sounds like some Tejano version of a Tenacious D throwaway."

    The Associated Press says Nacho Libre "can be giddily hilarious and has many solid, silly laughs, but it runs out of flips and tricks  and steam  about halfway through."

    Variety says of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, "Pumping high-performance gas back into the series after a second lap sputter, the third entry stays in high gear most of the way with several exhilarating racing sequences, and benefits greatly from the evocative Japanese setting."

    The Associated Press says, "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a very expensive cinematic equivalent of foolhardy boys playing rough with their Hot Wheels cars ... while gorgeous, underdressed girls look on."

    The Associated Press says of Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties, "Despite his droll delivery and a couple of amusing lines here and there, Bill Murray as the voice of 'Garfield' can't wring many laughs out of the mostly lame script."
