Don Argott's "The Art of the Steal" makes a masterly but completely one-sided case against the plan - now a done deal - to mo... SF GateFri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST
Our Family Wedding Except for Mencia, who should never be allowed near a camera again, "Our Family Wedding" isn't particularly awful, but that's about the best that can be said about it. Comingsoon.netFri, 12 Mar 2010 00:00:00 PST
She's Out of My League vs. Our Family Wedding "She's Out of My League" has a lot of spirit and heart, and it's actually quite sweet at times. It only fails to really deliver because it tries to shoehorn too many ideas into one movie and not all of them work. It's clearly the lesser of two evils though...

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... Cinema BlendFri, 05 Mar 2010 13:01:46 -0700
Alice in Wonderland Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Mia Wasikowska Review: Sexual panic is the last thing you'd expect to prod Alice to get her ass down a rabbit hole.

Shutter Island - movie review Essentially a B-movie thriller with an A-list cast and production values (and an epic's running time), this film is almost ludicrously Contact MusicThu, 04 Mar 2010 12:25:47 PST
Green Zone - movie review Based on Rajiv Chandrasekaran's true account Imperial Life in the Emerald City, this film never pauses for breath throughout a story Contact MusicThu, 04 Mar 2010 12:25:47 PST
The Yellow Handkerchief The Yellow Handkerchief. Who came up with that? There is nothing stimulating about that title. Forgiveness could be granted if this so-called yellow handkerchief had a defining moment in the film, but no. In fact, the yellow handkerchief?s 15 seconds of fa...

Harlan - In The Shadow of Jew Süss Many are well aware of Veit Harlan and the incredible effect films like Jew Süss had on the Third Reich. The infamous German propagandist's films were mandatory viewing for S.S. troops during World War II, and even today much of his work is banned througho... Cinema BlendWed, 24 Feb 2010 16:25:33 -0700
