New 'Ice Age' should actually be called 'Yawn of the Dinosaurs'

Thursday, July 2, 2009

There's more action and cuddly creatures for kids to love in "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" than in the animated franchise's first two installments. For their parents, it's more of the same, a "Yawn of the Dinosaurs" adventure with some new faces and places but the same central characters rehashing the themes of the first two movies.

'Sister's Keeper' raises tough questions

Thursday, June 25, 2009

'My Sister's Keeper" is a shameless weepy, one of the most manipulative and fundamental of genres, but it also raises some surprisingly difficult and thought-provoking ethical questions. Based on the Jodi Picoult best-seller, the drama focuses on the Fitzgerald family, and the drastic deci...

Transformers' franchise has 'Fallen' and can't get up

Thursday, June 25, 2009

As big, dumb summer "entertainments" go, they don't get much bigger or much dumber than "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen." The briefly amusing mash-up/crunch-up of a couple of summers back has been recycled into an epic two and a half hours of explosions, ponderous cartoon history, veiled rac...

'Away We Go' a lovely trip toward parenthood

Thursday, June 25, 2009

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Sandra Bullock may be aging out of the years when Hollywood sees her as Miss Congeniality, but not without one last fling. "The Proposal" has her playing the icy boss who blackmails her younger assistant into a sham marriage to save her Green Card.

Impressive acting of Biel and Firth adds color to inconsistent 'Easy Virtue'

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Though "Easy Virtue" harbors the most appealing role Jessica Biel has had to date — which, frankly, isn't saying much — the real reason to bother with director Stephan Elliott's handsome but uneven film is that scowling old curmudgeon Colin Firth, an actor generally consigned to playing cold, unsmiling cads and bounders.
