Craig YounkinJune 29, 2009
We’re a long way from the visual feast and energetic fun of Up. I’m sure the kids won’t mind though. This exists for them.
'My Sister's Keeper' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJune 26, 2009
I’m not saying this movie isn’t a cheap excuse to make you cry, but as far as cheap excuses go, this one is richly made.
'Transformers 2' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJune 23, 2009
Not without its flaws, but the good outweighs the bad and this is right behind Star Trek as the blockbuster of the summer.
'Away We Go' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJune 21, 2009
There is a point where the interspersing of comedy and drama starts to get old but luckily a third act of genuine lessons and happy mediums lead to some of the movie's best scenes.
'The Hurt Locker' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinJune 21, 2009
The movie clocks in at over two hours and staying with it is not the easiest thing to do.
'Year One' Movie Review (D-)Craig YounkinJune 18, 2009
A complete train-wreck that falls back on everything that’s wrong with American comedy. It settles for lowest common denominator and aims lower.
'The Proposal' Movie Review (D)Craig YounkinJune 16, 2009
For anyone thinking we’d see an end to insufferable movies that make up the romantic comedy genre I present The Proposal, two hours of stupid fluff performed without the slightest care toward making a watchable movie.
'Taking...Pelham 123' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinJune 9, 2009
Watching them go one on one with each other is the film’s main bright spot. Though this remake proves to be a little less than the sum of its parts.
'The Hangover' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJune 4, 2009
A comic adventure well worth taking.
'Land of the Lost' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinJune 3, 2009
Land of the Lost is just lost, misguided in every way. It deserves to be shunned and left to be the summer’s first big box-office bomb.
'Tyson' Movie Review (A)Craig YounkinMay 30, 2009
Tyson has it all. A confessional film that showcases just how crazy, funny, spiritual, fun, pained, and fascinating the boxer is as a man.
'Easy Virtue' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinMay 30, 2009
An old fashioned comedy that works, one of the funniest I’ve seen all year long.
'Drag Me to Hell' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMay 29, 2009
What we're watching is just ridiculous. This is campy horror, with more of an emphasis on cornball than on actual scares.
'Up' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinMay 29, 2009
One of the year's rare treasures, a movie that flies in every way possible and from Pixar, you shouldn't expect anything less.
'Sunshine Cleaning' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinApril 1, 2009
It's one of the better movies this year, but it could have benefited from a tighter script.
'Fast and Furious' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinApril 1, 2009
Deserves credit for doing the key things well. If you're expecting much from anything other than the cars then it’s a disappointment.
'Watchmen' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMarch 4, 2009
This movie was just lost on me. I have no idea where it was trying to go or what any of it means and to me it just looks like a nice-looking jumble of different things that just didn’t work.
'Confessions...Shopaholic' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinFebruary 13, 2009
Surprisingly tolerable and likable, a relief to guys who look at that title and shudder at the fact that they're probably going to be spending Valentine's Day with their girlfriends watching it.
'The International' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinFebruary 11, 2009
Instead of focusing on how the bank creates slaves-to-debt and how the whole process works, the movie just vaguely and complicatedly brushes over those issues in favor of lazy, generic plotting.
'Taken' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJanuary 27, 2009
Taken works in the same vain as Out for Justice and is, for the most part, a fairly thrilling revenge flick.
'Inkheart' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJanuary 21, 2009
Inkheart is the first in a trilogy of books and hopefully Hollywood goes back into this well again.
'Notorious B.I.G.' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJanuary 20, 2009
It’s not a great movie, but to start the year off, it’s a pretty good one. The performances are terrific and the world it portrays not only looks good on film but also allows for a strong message.
'Doubt' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJanuary 3, 2009
It offers questions about the concepts of morality and decency and it’s good to know that nothing has been lost in the transfer from stage to screen.
'The Wrestler' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 31, 2008
It’s an idea that Rourke invests his full body and soul in, carrying the pain and grief of a man whose glory days have passed him by. The movie doesn’t always pin it down but Rourke does.

'Gran Torino' Movie Review (B)
Gran Torino profile
US release date: December 12, 2008
MPAA: R
Box Office: $148,085,755
Craig YounkinDecember 23, 2008
Gran Torino could have been a better Oscar worthy flick but as it is, it’s another solid Eastwood movie nonetheless.
'Seven Pounds' Movie Review (B-)Craig YounkinDecember 23, 2008
Offers up a great role for him but the movie, despite being fascinating for its first hour, gets frustratingly less worthy of its high caliber plot and dissolves into heavy-handed sentimentality.
'Yes Man' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinDecember 23, 2008
Yes Man marks his career-low, a movie so awe-inspiringly bad at times that I just wanted to walk out and try to remember the good times with Carrey that now seem so far removed.
'Frost/Nixon' Movie Review (A-)Craig YounkinDecember 17, 2008
Ron Howard is a terrific judge and I can’t think of two actors who could have done a more masterful job of honing in on their characters legacies.
'Day Earth Stood Still' Movie Review (C-)Craig YounkinDecember 14, 2008
For all its expensive-looking attributes, the movie in general is a big, dull, drag.
'Milk' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 8, 2008
It’s Penn and Van Sant's show and they make a movie that, while not great, is nonetheless entertaining and interesting.
