Going the Distance

September 10, 2010

Gosh, the romantic comedy is hard to do. Well, the romantic comedy is hard to do well. That's an important caveat. There are all of the normal trope and cliché pitfalls that it is so easy for professional writers to fall into--when writing becomes work with a schedule shortcuts tend to look much better--but they tend to be much more seductive in the romantic comedy with its implicit promise of fluff and sentimental ease.

Machete

September 10, 2010

It's taken 15 years and umpteen billion supporting tough guy roles, but Robert Rodriguez has finally managed to make a major studio film starring Danny Trejo.

The American

September 10, 2010

Corbijn's sophomore effort is gorgeously shot with plenty of beautiful scenery to gush over, but otherwise, the results are mostly dull and disjointed, more "boredom-inducing" than "Bourne."

The Last Exorcism

September 10, 2010

"The Last Exorcism" is creepy, disturbing fun... and very surprising in the way it handles the subject matter differently than how it's been handled in the past.

Lottery Ticket

September 10, 2010

The filmmakers seemed to be aiming for something light and airy that would be gone as soon as you left the theater, and they got exactly that.

Nanny McPhee Returns

September 10, 2010

And when you're talking about a film that spends a lot of time talking about animal droppings, that's saying something.

The Switch

September 10, 2010

It's not horrible and it has the sense to make the most of Bateman's talents, but it's awfully hard to relate to people who can't figure out Clark Kent is Superman wearing glasses.

Eat Pray Love

September 10, 2010

Like a 2 1/2 hour infomercial about sharing your feelings that replaces any true emotions with some of the most ridiculous and useless spiritual rhetoric you're ever likely to hear.

The Expendables

September 10, 2010

"The Expendables" is mainly an exercise in nostalgia and action movie wish fulfillment. And violence. A lot of violence. If you are of the right age, or are a connoisseur of the Steven Seagal flavor of direct-to-DVD action film, seeing all these guys up on screen actually is a lot of fun. It doesn't make it a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it's still a lot of fun.

The Virginity Hit

September 10, 2010

Produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, "The Virginity Hit" may not be quite as laugh-out-loud funny as "The Other Guys," but as a stylized coming of age story, it has a lot to offer. A bizarrely balanced hybrid of raunchy sex comedy and wholesome relationship drama, "Virginity Hit" scores.
