Everyone wants to see it – so how are the reviews?
/h2>
That’s right, teenie-boppers and anyone else really into this whole vampire thing New Moon comes out Nov. 20th, and the New Moon reviews are starting to pour in. The consensus among critics is that the film – you’ll have to [...]
The end of the world as we know it
The world is going to end — again. Previews of and commentary surrounding the film “2012″ remind me of the constant speculating and paranoia during the two years or so before the year 2000 hit. I’m not really sure exactly how rumors [...]
This weekend at the theater
If you don’t think the Rated R satirical comedy “The Men Who Stare at Goats” — which critics call “a farcical antidote to big-screen bores about Afghanistan and Iraq” — is quite your speed, you have a couple of options at pretty opposite ends of the [...]
Critics want ‘Law Abiding Citizen’ locked up
“Law Abiding Citizen could be the movie of the year, but only if you’re a big fan of stupid.” Those are the words of Liz Braun from Jam! Movies in her “Law Abiding Citizen” review. That’s pretty harsh coming from a woman who writes [...]
Where the mild things are
After only one movie was widely released last weekend and sparse offerings this weekend, it appears winter movie season will kick into high gear next weekend. “Where the Wild Things Are” reviews indicate this is the film to see this weekend rather than the two thrillers [...]

Only 10 percent of critics at Rotten Tomatoes gave [...]
Sci-fi frenzy this weekend
Sci-fi lovers will have a heyday at the box office this weekend, possibly making a return trip so they can see both “Pandorum” and “Surrogates.” The only other wide release, dance drama remake “Fame,” got horrible reviews. If you ask me though, the worse a dance drama [...]
Can Diablo Cody get a mulligan?
So, there are a few critics out there who liked “Jennifer’s Body,” but I kind of wonder if they’re just Diablo Cody’s friends. Diablo Cody — which is a pen name, by the way — wrote “Juno” and Showtime comedy series “United States of Tara,” [...]
Low box office expectations
Anyone who follows my writing knows I love to make predictions. “Star Trek ” is still leading at the box office right now, right ahead of “Up.” I predict that the movies coming out this weekend, “The Proposal” and “Year One,” will not unseat either of those.
“Year [...]
