 'An Inconvenient Truth' Movie Review (C-)An Inconvenient Truth profile US release date: May 24, 2006 MPAA: PG Box Office: $23,814,997 | Lee Tistaert | June 8, 2006 |
| This feature just doesn?t have any cinematic value; it?s not entertaining, and Gore relies so much on his abundance of data to draw us in that the material just isn?t gripping at all. | ||
| 'Akeelah and the Bee' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | April 30, 2006 |
| Preachy...predictable (to a certain extent) yes, the film is a bit of all three, but it is handled with enough context to keep it from being exhaustingly so. | ||
| 'United 93' Movie Review (B+) | Lee Tistaert | April 27, 2006 |
| One of the most realistic and haunting films I?ve seen. | ||
| 'Lucky Number Slevin' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | April 9, 2006 |
| It's a rather pointless experience when you look back, but a classic example of what can happen when the right talent comes aboard. | ||
| 'Lonesome Jim' Movie Review (D+) | Lee Tistaert | April 4, 2006 |
| This is an awful screenplay in need of massive re-writes, saved by two actors who make the most out of dull and absolutely clich? characters. | ||
 Most Popular Article'Borat' Movie Review (B+) Borat profile US release date: November 3, 2006 MPAA: R Box Office: $128,505,958 | Lee Tistaert | March 30, 2006 |
| It?s hard to imagine that this year will deliver a funnier, edgier comedy. | ||
| 'Inside Man' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | March 18, 2006 |
| Absolutely ordinary...This is a very by-the-numbers crime thriller in which Denzel Washington plays a hostage negotiator. | ||
| 'Thank You for Smoking' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | March 16, 2006 |
| Thank You for Smoking doesn?t go as far as it could in terms of edgy material, but is still a nicely-done intellectual comedy. | ||
| 'Ask the Dust' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | March 12, 2006 |
| Just picture Colin Farrell trying to be Jack Nicholson without any political intrigue and without a plot to run on; you?ve got yourself Robert Towne?s latest. | ||
| 'A Scanner Darkly' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | February 27, 2006 |
| The film works terrifically on a technical level, but unfortunately there?s the sense that Linklater could be giving these actors more to do. | ||
| 'Night Watch' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | February 19, 2006 |
| Some have labeled this film as a total mind job, but it?s a mind job in the worst of ways; you?re never quite sure what's going on, who people are, or what the purpose of this story. | ||
| 'Cache' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | February 9, 2006 |
| To call this film a ?thriller? is almost misleading; it?s a quiet mystery. Most of its impact comes indirectly through what is not shown, which creates quite a punch. | ||
| 'Date Movie' Movie Review (D+) | Lee Tistaert | February 5, 2006 |
| Date Movie is supposed to be a diversion from the crap that Hollywood produces in romantic comedies, but ultimately {it} ends up being even worse than the movies it spoofs. | ||
| 'Bubble' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | January 28, 2006 |
| There are things to like and admire in this experiment ? and even though it can be seen as pointless and a waste of time, I like it when filmmakers try for something different. | ||
| 'Looking for Comedy...' Movie Review (C-) | Lee Tistaert | January 24, 2006 |
| This is not only depressing material to be in the presence of, but it?s terribly embarrassing for someone like Brooks who can do a hell of a lot better. | ||
| 'King Kong' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | December 20, 2005 |
| The film might?ve blown me away had the first act been tweaked a bit, but for an action flick these days, this sure delivers with the kind of energy that most filmmakers dream of inducing. | ||
| 'Brokeback Mountain' Movie Review (B) | Lee Tistaert | December 10, 2005 |
| This is one of the few times when I?d actually be happy with the Academy if they do award {Brokeback Mountain} with Best Picture and Director. | ||
| 'Memoirs of a Geisha' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | December 5, 2005 |
| Unless you?re a devoted fan of the book, the 145 minutes to endure is just a whopping bore. | ||
| 'Syriana' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | November 24, 2005 |
| Syriana feels like one long intellectual conversation about oil and politics, and that?s the problem: it lacks a punch. | ||
| 'Zathura' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | November 9, 2005 |
| The movie doesn?t even have visual effects to fall back on while the story lulls you into a deep sleep. | ||
| 'Jarhead' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | November 5, 2005 |
| The film is terrific on a technical level, which makes you wish that the script had been developed more, and offered more biting material. | ||
| 'Three... Extremes' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | October 31, 2005 |
| The problem is that only one of the three short films works, and the one that does isn?t even ?extreme.? | ||
| 'Walk the Line' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | October 15, 2005 |
| We?ve seen this kind of story told so many times before that it?s just infuriatingly boring. | ||
| 'Two For the Money' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | October 2, 2005 |
| Two for the Money is watch-able, but it?s as straightforward as The Recruit, and it is only tolerable thanks to the performances by Pacino and McConaughey. | ||
| 'Thumbsucker' Movie Review (B-) | Lee Tistaert | September 22, 2005 |
| The film at least tries to say something profound, which is something to be grateful for. | ||
| 'Corpse Bride' Movie Review (C) | Lee Tistaert | September 20, 2005 |
| This is a completely different story {than Nightmare Before Christmas} with a completely different feel, and the movie is a complete disappointment as a result. | ||
| 'The Man' Movie Review (D+) | Lee Tistaert | September 10, 2005 |
| If there ever were a sign that the apocalypse was near in regard to the state of movies, The Man would be it. | ||
| 'Dick and Jane' Movie Review (C-) | Lee Tistaert | September 7, 2005 |
| I really have nothing good to say about this movie, but the fact that Jim Carrey is in it is probably the reason I?m not giving it a D+. | ||
| 'A Sound of Thunder' Movie Review (D+) | Lee Tistaert | September 6, 2005 |
| It has been a while since I have seen a movie this laughably bad. | ||
| 'Constant Gardener' Movie Review (C+) | Lee Tistaert | September 1, 2005 |
| Though well acted and terrifically directed, {it} fumbles in its pace and is confused about what type of film it is trying to be. | ||
