'Easy Virtue' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinMay 30, 2009
'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.
'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
'Watchmen' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinMarch 4, 2009
'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
'Doubt' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJanuary 3, 2009
'The Wrestler' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 31, 2008
'Gran Torino' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 23, 2008
'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
'The 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
'Four Christmases' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinNovember 27, 2008
Both go at their roles with suitable discomfort and dread. Unfortunately, the audience mostly goes at theirs in the exact same way.
'Australia' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinNovember 27, 2008
'Slumdog Millionaire' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinNovember 24, 2008
Millionaire surprised me, moved me, and in the end put a smile on my face.
'Twilight' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinNovember 21, 2008
It just sits there destroying the good name of vampire with a lot of nonsense. Supposedly sequels are coming. With any luck, an actual story and some real conflict are coming with them.
'Quantum of Solace' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinNovember 16, 2008

'Madagascar 2' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinNovember 9, 2008
Is about as unnecessary and empty-headed a sequel as your likely to find, but it gives the kids a chance to reconnect with some old characters and offers up really impressive looking animation.
'Role Models' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinNovember 8, 2008
Is it funny? A little bit. But is it clever or worthy of any real attention? Hell no.
'Zack and Miri' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinNovember 1, 2008
It starts off a little shaky but settles in nicely with crude jokes that earn big laughs.
