Hunting & Son (Hunting & Zn.)
Film Reviews: Dutch newlyweds share the same home but not much else in "Hunting & Son," an initially slow-burning but pretty effective slice of Euro miserablism.

This lush, insinuating remake of the rather muted French film Nathalie (2003) benefits from a much more emotionally charged script and

Legion - movie review
There's nothing wrong with being preposterous, but this guilty pleasure thriller has a tendency to be pretentious as well. Despite a

Shutter Island
There's quite a bit that's good about it, but a lot of "Shutter Island" is exactly what it appears to be as well.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief
"Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief" was an unexpected pleasant surprise. If you are into Greek mythology it is required viewing. If you like "Harry Potter," I think you'll enjoy this, too. I can't say how it compared to the book, but I thi...

Valentine's Day
In trying to make his version of "Love Actually," Gary Marshall instead ends up with something on par with the worst bits in "Love American Style." Any potential for depth or intelligence in this romantic comedy has been sucked out by the very holiday the ...

Alice in Wonderland 3D
Burton's movie avoids the impossible task of creating a real story out of Carroll?s book by ditching it entirely. This Alice is not an adaptation of Carroll?s novel, at least not exactly. Instead the classic Alice you have swimming around in your head is...

Brooklyn's Finest
Unfortunately, good intentions don't always make for good screenwriting, and strong work from a cast can't overcome a screenplay hampered by cliches and obvious twists. There's a reason it's taken over a year for Brooklyn's Finest to come to theaters

Alice in Wonderland
"Too much" is what Alice in Wonderland is in nearly every way-- too much color, too much scenery, too much busy plot, too much exposition. The only thing there's not too much of is characters worth caring about-- in fact, there's none of those at all.

The Ghost Writer
Starring: Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Catrall Review: In the craptacular month of February, when Hollywood typically drowns us in all-star drool like Valentine?s Day, it?s indecent luck having two films in play directed by indisputable masters. Firs...

'Alice in Wonderland'
Tim Burton tosses $150 million down the rabbit hole with this gorgeously rendered -- and utterly disposable -- CGI epic.

'The Crazies'
A solidly-crafted zombie flick with enough B-movie thrills to satisfy those who yearn for some undead action.

'Shutter Island'
Director Martin Scorsese's latest collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio is a brain-scrambling good time.
