 'Step Brothers' Movie Review (B-)Step Brothers profile US release date: July 25, 2008 MPAA: R Box Office: $100,540,000 | Lee Tistaert | July 25, 2008 |
| It's an entertaining flick with some really funny envelope-pushing, gross-out scenes, but it still doesn't go all the way in shock value, consistently. | ||
| 'Don't Mess with Zohan' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | May 16, 2008 |
| Don’t Mess with the Zohan is so completely ridiculous and so stupid that it’s actually amusing…and sometimes pretty funny. | ||
| 'The Ruins' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | April 5, 2008 |
| This one’s a disturbing one, which is a good thing in my book. | ||
| 'Shine a Light' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | April 4, 2008 |
| Maybe I'm just not a big fan of rock concerts. | ||
| 'Leatherheads' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | March 31, 2008 |
| It's a well-acted and well-directed entertaining feel-good movie that was better than I expected it to be. | ||
| 'In Bruges' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | March 22, 2008 |
| It's a funny movie and it also works as a compelling drama about the moral dilemma behind being a hitman. | ||
| 'Funny Games' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | March 21, 2008 |
| This is a damn good film that will captivate as many people as it will infuriate. | ||
| 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | March 17, 2008 |
| 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. | ||
| 'Rambo' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | January 26, 2008 |
| It does what you want it to do for the most part, which is pretty gratifying. | ||
| 'Cloverfield' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | January 19, 2008 |
| Cloverfield is an enjoyable old-fashioned monster movie but it doesn’t really do anything new with the genre. | ||
| '1408' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | June 14, 2007 |
| The direction and tone is solid, it manages to be creepy and funny, and John Cusack carries the show beautifully. | ||
| 'Ocean's 13' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | June 14, 2007 |
| Sequels are supposed to get better in progression, and though few succeed, I was a bit letdown by this one?s shortcomings. | ||
| 'Knocked Up' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | June 3, 2007 |
| Knocked Up is very funny and the dialogue is very sharp and very crude as it takes countless pop-culture jabs. | ||
| 'Mr. Brooks' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | June 2, 2007 |
| The writing is decent in the first hour, but Brooks turns silly and far-fetched in the second half. | ||
| 'Pirates of Caribbean 3' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | May 25, 2007 |
| There are good things wrapped up in this production, but they are weighed down by too many dead beats and a story that asks us to care more than it?s cinematically possible for a blockbuster. | ||
| 'Shrek 3' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | May 18, 2007 |
| With their PG rating, the makers push as far as they can. Some might complain that certain gags go too far, but I found that to be quite a relief. | ||
| '28 Weeks Later' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | May 14, 2007 |
| Imagine my surprise when this film delivered exactly what I didn't expect. | ||
| 'Aqua Teen' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | May 6, 2007 |
| Aqua Teen isn?t as funny as South Park, but it at least takes a chance in that direction of foul-mouthed comedy. | ||
| 'Spider-Man 3' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | May 5, 2007 |
| I could not believe how corny this movie was. | ||
| 'Grind House' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | April 6, 2007 |
| Grindhouse is a long piece that has its charms and surprises, but it does outstay its welcome. | ||
| 'Fracture' Movie Review (C-) | Lee Tistaert | March 30, 2007 |
| Fracture is on the level of a straight-to-cable thriller; the setup is cheap, and the cinematography, lighting, and makeup are all accentuated just for good looks. | ||
| 'Reign Over Me' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | March 15, 2007 |
| Reign Over Me preaches about loneliness and tragedy, and then spends even more time making sure we understood everything. | ||
| 'Flags of Our Fathers' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | October 20, 2006 |
| Flags of Our Fathers almost works as a battlefield war picture, but too much time is spent on sentimental storytelling. | ||
 Most Popular Article'Zodiac' Movie Review (B-) Zodiac profile US release date: March 2, 2007 MPAA: R Box Office: $33,080,084 | Lee Tistaert | October 16, 2006 |
| Zodiac ends up being more of a conventional detective thriller, but certain stretches save [it] from being average. | ||
| 'The Departed' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | October 7, 2006 |
| It's kind of hard for me to come down on Scorcese, but this time the auteur has gone too Hollywood for my taste. | ||
| 'School for Scoundrels' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | September 15, 2006 |
| School for Scoundrels probably would've been an average comedy in anyone else?s hands, but Phillips and Armstrong took more of an elegant approach, which makes this a surprisingly decent movie. | ||
| 'Idiocracy' Movie Review (D+) | Lee Tistaert | September 11, 2006 |
| There was potential for a really funny movie in here, but it was also something that could?ve easily turned into a disaster. | ||
| 'Crank' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | September 3, 2006 |
| Scores points for not taking itself too seriously, but it still takes a specific sensibility to enjoy. | ||
| 'Half Nelson' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | August 31, 2006 |
| The film is very short on character development, and nothing really happens until the second hour. | ||
| 'Beerfest' Movie Review (D+) | Lee Tistaert | August 31, 2006 |
| While it?s not as dull as Dukes of Hazzard, Beerfest is so loud and silly that it?s just as unbearable to watch. | ||
