 'Unknown' Movie Review (B+)Unknown profile US release date: February 18, 2011 MPAA: PG-13 Box Office: $62,723,000 | Craig Younkin | February 20, 2011 |
| Unknown is nothing ground-breaking but it's skillful, effective, and thrilling. | ||
| 'Due Date' Movie Review (C-) | Craig Younkin | November 8, 2010 |
| If Todd Phillips wanted to pay tribute to Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, then Due Date is about as forgettable and boring a job as any. | ||
 Most Popular Article'Fair Game' Movie Review (B-) Fair Game profile US release date: November 5, 2010 MPAA: PG-13 Box Office: $9,382,000 | Craig Younkin | November 8, 2010 |
| Jez and John-Henry Butterworth’s screenplay is more matter-of-fact timeline than emotionally charged drama. If you know the facts already, then there isn’t much to engage. | ||
| 'I'm Still Here' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | September 25, 2010 |
| It’s a documentary yet it’s fake, it’s funny yet tragic, bizarre yet also very personal and therapeutic. | ||
| 'Buried' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | September 21, 2010 |
| What makes this one particularly rich with suspense is that it all takes place within the condensed and claustrophobic space of a wooden box buried beneath the ground. | ||
| 'Dinner for Schmucks' Movie Review (D+) | Craig Younkin | July 31, 2010 |
| Director Jay Roach has the unenviable task of turning this into a sweet buddy comedy but in the end you just want Tim and Barry to get away from one another. | ||
| 'Inception' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | July 25, 2010 |
| Is it original and interesting? Sure. Is it a masterpiece? No. | ||
| 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice' Movie Review (C) | Craig Younkin | July 15, 2010 |
| Cage looks bored and restrained when he really should be doing his nutty best, while Barachel’s nasally voice isn’t enough to compensate for lack of laughs. | ||
| 'Grown Ups' Movie Review (C) | Craig Younkin | June 23, 2010 |
| Sandler always comes off nice and God knows I’ve grown up with the guy and have had my share of likes. But forgettable garbage like this ruins all his goodwill. | ||
| 'Knight & Day' Movie Review (B-) | Craig Younkin | June 21, 2010 |
| It’s pleasant and entertaining but it’s also another movie that doesn’t try too hard. | ||
| 'Cyrus' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | June 11, 2010 |
| Anybody who wants to see a touching comedy this summer should look no further than right here. | ||
| 'The A-Team' Movie Review (D) | Craig Younkin | June 11, 2010 |
| From the hectic opening minutes, The A-Team is hardly a movie, it’s a disaster of mind-numbing proportions. | ||
| 'Clash of the Titans (2010)' Movie Review (D+) | Craig Younkin | April 1, 2010 |
| Delivers nothing in terms of thrills and washes out the color, making this a sad-looking sword and sandal epic. | ||
| 'Train Your Dragon' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | March 25, 2010 |
| The animation looks great, from the large, bushy-haired Vikings to the comically goofy looking dragons. | ||
| 'Repo Men' Movie Review (D+) | Craig Younkin | March 18, 2010 |
| The direction from Miguel Sapochnik shows its cracks, from the poor shifts from vicious action to playful comedy, to dragging it out way too long. | ||
| 'She's Out of My League' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | March 12, 2010 |
| A solid 7, a romantic comedy that scores a few good laughs and does a nice job of being convincing. | ||
| 'Green Zone' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | March 9, 2010 |
| It’s Jason Bourne in a non-Jason Bourne movie, but it stands right up there with those films. | ||
| 'The Wolfman' Movie Review (B-) | Craig Younkin | March 9, 2010 |
| Johnston nails the atmosphere just right, dark, dreary and foggy and with very ominous shots of the moon. | ||
| 'Nine' Movie Review (C-) | Craig Younkin | December 11, 2009 |
| In one of the most ill-conceived movie-musicals since Phantom of the Opera, Rob Marshall tries to razzle-dazzle but just comes off as a flat, sparkly thing that might have been exciting live but not so much as a movie. | ||
| 'Invictus' Movie Review (B+) | Craig Younkin | December 11, 2009 |
| By the final match, the movie has built up such good-will that any predictability becomes an afterthought to the joy and excitement on display. | ||
| 'Up in the Air' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | December 8, 2009 |
| It’s really about learning how to connect with people and the even tougher goal of learning to care about people. | ||
| '9' Movie Review (C+) | Craig Younkin | September 5, 2009 |
| Acker deserves some credit and I admire Focus Features for again taking a chance after the brilliant Coraline, on darkly animated adult material. Just 9 is too meager to recommend. | ||
| 'Extract' Movie Review (C) | Craig Younkin | September 5, 2009 |
| This movie isn’t much of a sex comedy or drug comedy or lawsuit comedy or really much of anything. It goes nowhere. | ||
| 'Cold Souls' Movie Review (C+) | Craig Younkin | August 26, 2009 |
| Giamatti does his best. He portrays many different emotions, as well as emptiness, as good as anyone probably ever could. The second half lets him down. | ||
| 'World's Greatest Dad' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | August 26, 2009 |
| Goldthwait deals with things not many films would. The screenplay is dark, intermittently funny, with a few good lines. | ||
| 'Inglourious Basterds' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | August 23, 2009 |
| Never lets you forget that Tarantino is a consummate filmmaker, plotting everything with originality and tremendous cool. | ||
| 'Five Minutes of Heaven' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | August 18, 2009 |
| A human story with an important meaning in our terrorism-around-the-globe-world. | ||
| 'The Goods' Movie Review (A-) | Craig Younkin | August 13, 2009 |
| You just want to start listing funny thing after funny thing, it's that good. | ||
| 'Humpday' Movie Review (B) | Craig Younkin | August 12, 2009 |
| Humpday isn’t always fun to watch but it’s brave, funny, and interesting. | ||
| 'District 9' Movie Review (B-) | Craig Younkin | August 11, 2009 |
| District 9 has its pleasures. Those looking for action will enjoy the blast but those seeking a broader plot may feel a little bored. | ||
