|
|
Iron Man |
Craig |
A- |
Iron Man is big, flashy summer fun but its greatness comes from never forgetting that this is the story about a weapon with a heart. |
|
Son of Rambow |
Craig |
C+ |
It falls short of capturing the nostalgic good-feelings that childhood fantasy creates. |
|
Baby Mama |
Craig |
B |
Baby Mama begins with an “oh no” but quickly settles into something witty and lovable. The script is smart and funny and the cast couldn’t be better. |
|
Harold and Kumar 2 |
Craig |
B |
Has all the crude fun that one might expect plus a few politically incorrect things to say. |
|
88 Minutes |
Craig |
D- |
Al Pacino is one of those few actors you literally would see the biggest piece of crap just to see what he would do in it. |
|
Sarah Marshall |
Craig |
B+ |
Sarah Marshall is another Apatow movie about learning how to grow up and deal with life’s curve balls, and there are a lot more crude gags in that process than you might think. |
|
Street Kings |
Craig |
B+ |
Hard-nosed, gritty filmmaking. The cast is right on the money, the writing and direction is terrific. |
|
Leatherheads |
Craig |
C |
There was a point half-way through where I just sat back and realized this movie really wasn’t going anywhere. |
|
The Ruins |
Lee |
B |
This one’s a disturbing one, which is a good thing in my book. |
|
Shine a Light |
Lee |
C+ |
Maybe I'm just not a big fan of rock concerts. |
|
Leatherheads |
Lee |
B |
It's a well-acted and well-directed entertaining feel-good movie that was better than I expected it to be. |
|
Run, Fat Boy, Run |
Scott |
C+ |
Instead of taking an adventurous and entertaining route, it sticks to formula that an infant wouldn't drink out of its bottle. |
|
88 Minutes |
Scott |
C+ |
If you eat up crime-type stories, you might find it a halfway-okay way to pass the time. |
|
In Bruges |
Lee |
B |
It's a funny movie and it also works as a compelling drama about the moral dilemma behind being a hitman. |
|
Funny Games |
Lee |
B |
This is a damn good film that will captivate as many people as it will infuriate. |
|
Sarah Marshall |
Lee |
B |
Rivals the ranks of Something About Mary and Knocked Up as a filthy and foul comedy that balances thoroughly immature material with a good story. |
|
Semi-Pro |
Craig |
B+ |
Whether he’s making fun of people in the sports world or playing elves or Frank the Tank, the man just seems to find roles that are tailor-made for him. |
|
Rambo |
Lee |
B- |
It does what you want it to do for the most part, which is pretty gratifying. |
|
Cloverfield |
Lee |
B- |
Cloverfield is an enjoyable old-fashioned monster movie but it doesn’t really do anything new with the genre. |
|
Atonement |
Craig |
C+ |
It's not nearly as painful as I was expecting. Only it also does not have the heart to become the great film it probably could have been. |
|
Charlie Wilson's War |
Craig |
B+ |
A really rich showcase for all of them, and a really good history lesson as well. |
|
Juno |
Craig |
B |
Is not as great as many have said but it's a sweet and funny flick about being on the cusp of adult-hood. |
|
National Treasure 2 |
Craig |
B |
Is much like its 2004 predecessor and I will be one of the few critics to say that I don't think that's a bad thing. |
|
Walk Hard |
Craig |
C+ |
I'm not saying the movie isn't funny, but I am saying that for what he's trying to do, it needed to be funnier. |
|
Bee Movie |
Craig |
C |
Once the story really gets going, Seinfeld succeeds neither in creating something that's lively enough for kids or satirical enough for adults. |
