‘Bourne Legacy’ Swaps Psychological Intrigue with Murky Science

Tony Gilroy’s spy flick THE BOURNE LEGACY isn’t close family to the original Matt Damon trilogy. It’s more like a less interesting distant cousin.

Shepard’s “Hit and Run” Makes Car Chases Boring

It’s really hard to make car chases boring. Yet somehow Dax Shepard’s HIT AND RUN manages to do it. It’s a comedy that barely has its foot on the gas.

Book Review: ‘Sherlock Holmes – The Army of Dr Moreau’

Although SHERLOCK HOLMES – ARMY OF DR MOREAU is a riveting mystery, it’s not all fluff. The characters actually raise some important ethical questions.

Enjoy ‘Beetlejuice’ and ‘Invader Zim?’ Then Read ‘Lenore: Swirlies’

If you like bizarre dark comedy, reanimated corpses, and comics that don’t take themselves too seriously, then you’ll probably enjoy LENORE: SWIRLIES.

Relive ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ with Greg Cox’s Thrilling Novelization

Greg Cox’s DARK KNIGHT RISES novelization is an engaging, cost-conscious way to relive the gripping conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

Nothing Interesting or Terrifying About ‘Red Lights’

By the time you actually get to the final confrontation in RED LIGHTS, you’re too bored to care about the movie’s major twist.

McFarlane Gets Back to Early ‘Family Guy’ Humor with ‘Ted’

For a raunchy comedy, TED will surprise you with its sentimentality. This strangely charming tale about growing up will also crack you up.

‘The Watch’ Won’t Please Fans of Any Genre

THE WATCH straddles a weird middle ground between horror, action, sci-fi, and comedy without pleasing fans of any genre.

Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight Rises’ is Fantastic Series Bookend

As a whole, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is better than BATMAN BEGINS, although it’s not nearly as powerful as THE DARK KNIGHT.
