The Dark Knight Review |
 |
|
Two hours and 32 minutes long, "The Dark Knight" is grimly
magisterial. It's a summer blockbuster that contemplates
near-total civic disaster: Crowds surge, tractor-trailers
flip, and buildings explode, but the pop violence feels
heavy, mournful. Light barely escapes the film's
gravitational pull.

Hellboy II The Golden Army Review |
 |
Of all the comic book movies that have spun out of theaters
this long and pulpy summer, Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy
II: The Golden Army" is the most unapologetically comic
book-y.
Thank goodness. No ironic Hollywood stars, no weighty
character neuroses, no mid-movie dramatic twists sinking the
fun like an anchor. "Hellboy II" is the anti-"Hancock,"

Hancock Movie Review (2008) |
 |
Look up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Oh, for
Pete's sake, it's Hancock. And he's drunk. Again.
Yes, Los Angeles's unreliable superhero is passed out on a
city bench one minute and zooming intoxicated over the
freeway to stop Uzi-toting gang-bangers the next. Before he
almost kills them,

WALL-E Review |
 |
|
With "WALL-E," Pixar at last takes the great leap forward
many of us knew the company had in it. A "family movie" in
name and MPAA rating only, it's a major visionary work, a
sci-fi parable of astonishing scope and depth that is
anchored by an adorable bucket of bolts and yoked to a
sensibility

The Incredible Hulk 2008 |
 |
|
The movie studio might call him "The Incredible Hulk," but I
came to think of him as Jose Canseco with an incredibly
swampy tan. When Jose's not barreling through
computer-enhanced Brazilian favelas and destroying most of
Harlem in the finale of this

Kung Fu Panda 2008 - aka- Eye of the Panda |
 |
Animation is a kick, but plot doesn't rise to challenge
The star of "Kung Fu Panda" is not Jack Black.
It's not even Po, the martial arts-obsessed animated panda
for whom Black provides dude-acious line readings. Rather, the
movie's stars are production designer Raymond Zibach, art
director Tang Heng,

Indiana Jones
and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull |
 |
No, it’s not as good as “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Don’t be
silly. Lightning can’t be bottled twice, no matter how
skilled the vintners.
Instead, Steven Spielberg's “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom
of the Crystal Skull” is merely grand old-school fun – a
rollicking class reunion that stands as the second best
entry in the venerable series.

" 21
Review " |
 |
|
By any fair count, "21" is -372, and that's a shame, since a
lot of people were holding out high hopes for this one.
Recent converts to the neo-Vegas gambling craze craved the
buzz they get from drawing a skeet flush. Readers of the
film's nonfiction source,

" Dr.
Seuss' Horton Hears a Who " |
 |
|
I'm probably being overly kind rating "Dr. Seuss' Horton
Hears a Who!" as more than strictly average
computer-animated kiddie fare, but two things swayed me.
First, it's a relief not to have to put up with Mike Myers
as a cretin in a cat suit. Second, after the Saturday
morning screening I attended, every 4-year-old stood and
applauded. With a movie like this, they're the critics, not
me.

" In
'Semi-Pro,' Ferrell jumps through hoops - again " |
 |
|
"Semi-Pro," the new Will Ferrell movie, is stuffed with
familiar frat house funnyboys - Andy Richter, Will Arnett,
Rob Corddry, David Koechner - but the funniest character is
probably the mid-1970s. The Disco Decade is the setting for
this amiably sloppy basketball comedy, and it has a
hairstyle (puffy), a rhythm (funk),

"
Jumper Movie Review " |

|
"Jumper" is about a young guy who teleports all over the
world. Initially, he does what you or I might do - pops into
a bank, robs its safe, and buys a swank New York apartment,
where he keeps an elaborate visual log of
all the places he's been over the course of
eight or so years. The locations are global
but the thinking in this movie is small.
