Somehow encouraged by the distinctly lukewarm response to THE WHOLE NINE YARDS, Bruce Willis and company have decided to gift us with a sequel, THE WHOLE TEN YARDS. It is a dreadful morass, which may be the result of either hubris, or the need to produce a sure-fire money loser in order to create a… Read More »
CONNIE AND CARLA
In the good old days of Technicolor® musicals, Judy and Mickey would decide to put on a show in their parents barn. Because of everyones high spirits and some ultra professional production values, the farm or the mill or whatever was in peril of foreclosure would be saved and there would be a triumphant finale… Read More »
13 GOING ON 30
When working with a script that is slight and a premise that is high concept, it is vitally important that the star of the film be able to carry the weight of whats missing on her pretty shoulders in such a way that shortcomings can be overlooked. And so it is fortunate that 13 GOING… Read More »
LATTER DAYS
Oh no, it’s another film about a religious good boy moving to the big bad city and discovering that he’s gay. I know, it sounds awful in that we’ve seen this a gazillion times sense, but LATTER DAYS is a cut above the rest for its gentle message about finding the strength to see other… Read More »

Tina Fey, the first female head writer of Saturday Night Live has mined that territory, one that seems rife… Read More »
BOBBY JONES, STROKE OF GENIUS
BOBBY JONES, STROKE OF GENIUS is not so much a film as a sermon conceived as a series of lessons designed for moral improvement and delivered by rote by a preacher who long ago exchanged enthusiasm for boredom with the subject matter. It is, I suppose, good for you on some level, in much the… Read More »
ENVY
I have always adored Christopher Walken, but never more than while enduring ENVY, a flick as deadly to the concept of entertainment as the deadly sin of the same name is to ones mortal soul. Walken is an actor who can do more with less than pretty much anyone else I can think of and… Read More »
GODSEND
GODSEND is a turgid little mood piece that manages to miss every opportunity to actually engage, much less terrify its audience. No doubt that the ethical, theological, and philosophical questions engendered by the prospect of human cloning are the stuff of heated debate and interesting conundrums. GODSEND, however, eschews all of that in favor of derivative… Read More »
SUPER SIZE ME!
About a hundred years ago, the United States government decided that it needed to get involved in regulating the food processing industry and created what would eventually become the Food and Drug Administration. It was a radical idea at the time and there were a few who grouched that it was an impediment to free… Read More »
