"Barbershop" is an unassuming ensemble comedy with a surprisingly gentle and heartfelt center. It is impossible not to be charmed by it.
It all takes place on one day as Calvin (Ice Cube), ...
Every so often, it's time to re-boot Batman.
Bob Kane created Batman in 1939. What made him different was that in an era of superheroes, he ha...
In the future, a race of 9-foot-tall, dreadlocked aliens called Psychlos takes over the earth following a nine-minute battle. A thousand year later, the few remaining humans are hunter-gatherers a...
As if it wasn't enough of a challenge to try to create a movie based on a board game -- and a board game based on a game that is perfectly adequately played with pencil and paper -- this movie has ...

One of the classic set-ups for comedy is what I refer to as the "Cat in the Hat" plot -- one or more "normal," somewhat bored characters find their lives completely (and yet somehow enjoyably) disr...
A classic romance always involves a certain formula: Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl. Beijing Bicycle is a romance, except the love interest is a bicycle and not a girl.

"The Big Year" would be a lot better if it didn't try so hard to be The Big Movie. This over-Hollywood-ized take on the real-life story of passionate-to-obsessed birders (don't say "bird-watche...
It's just a bunch of music video-style motorcycle races punctuated with brief interludes that are more dramatic place-holders than story, but a top-notch cast, some flashy camera work, and attitude...
Brendan Fraser plays Adam, who was born in 1962, in an elaborate bomb shelter constructed by his eccentric genius of a father (Christopher Walken). His parents, mistakenly believing that a nuclear ...
The presence of a Hollywood icon as an actor and director cannot overcome the predictability in the script in "Blood Work."

Bobby Jones was a great man and a great golfer. He deserves a better movie than this one, as clumsy as its title.
Jones may be the greatest golfer who ever lived. He's the only one to win...

Gilliam's version of the story about the...
