A must-see movie, even the flaws in this film cant detract from the brilliant performance of its director and star, Clint Eastwood.
An average gangster biography that just doesnt leave enough for the heavyweights to play with.
This sequel to Batman Begins is better than its predecessor, and Ledgers Joker will go down as one of the best screen villains of all time.
Slightly (and inexplicably) better than its American shot-for-shot remake, Michael Hanekes original expose of the viewing audiences appetite for destruction is still too condescending to allow the genuinely frightening movie underneath to shine through.
Take a crime drama, add some modern-day Western-ness, throw in some dark humor, and watch some perfectly cast actors act their socks off, and youve got the most deserving Best Picture winner in years.
If you can get through the lackluster first hour of this cop family gone wrong saga, youll be rewarded with a well-acted, suspenseful crime thriller.
Angels and Demons is an overlong, uninteresting affair which doesnt live up to the blockbuster tag. Then again, it is not the worst film you could see this summer.
Theres nothing new here as far as slasher flicks go, but the 3D twist at least adds a bit more value to your movie ticket dollar.

Hopefully it will get a post-Oscar boost, because this gritty tale of a woman driven to great lengths to provide for her family deserves to be seen.

One of the best films of the year that a lot of people still havent seen, this tale of two hit men trying to be tourists is a dark comedy of the darkest variety.
