Channing Tatum
Interviews: Ice Cube, Rob Riggle Discover ‘21 Jump Street’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 15, 2012 - 4:21pmCHICAGO – A good comedy film lives and breathes through the right casting of character roles. In the new film “21 Jump Street,” Ice Cube is the angry police captain who guides his undercover recruits Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as they infiltrate high school. Rob Riggle pitches in as a wacky high school coach.
Interview: Jonah Hill, Channing Tatum Revisit ‘21 Jump Street’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 13, 2012 - 3:03pmCHICAGO – Combining comedy and action is always a delicate balance, and Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum do it right in the upcoming movie remake of “21 Jump Street.” Goofing on the concept of two police officers undercover in high school, the story has fun with its two back-to-school characters.
DVD Review: Channing Tatum’s ‘The Son of No One’ Bound to Please No One
Submitted by mattmovieman on March 1, 2012 - 11:21amCHICAGO – With the right role and the right director, Channing Tatum manages to convince me that he is in fact a decent actor. He’s delivered enough solid work to illustrate that he’s more than just empty eye candy (in other words, he’s no Taylor Lautner). So why does Tatum continue to forge collaborations with Dito Montiel, a director who has a knack for making him look like an amateur?
Film Review: Rachel McAdams, Channing Tatum Don’t Stick to ‘The Vow’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on February 10, 2012 - 9:33amCHICAGO – “The Vow” was “inspired by true events.” The end credits even showed the real couple of those events. Given the actual film, it’s likely that inspiration came in the form of “making stuff up,” as Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum were opposite to any reality in this illogical, strangely cold romance.

Film Review: Gina Carano, Ewan McGregor in Steven Soderbergh’s Action-Packed ‘Haywire’
Submitted by BrianTT on January 19, 2012 - 3:49pmCHICAGO – Steven Soderbergh is one of the few directors who can do whatever the hell he wants. Whatever genre, whomever he casts, whichever story he chooses to tell – he pulls it off.
Film Review: Channing Tatum Stars in Inconsistent ‘The Son of No One’
Submitted by BrianTT on November 4, 2011 - 12:56pm Rating: 2.0/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Director Dito Montiel and star Channing Tatum were once tagged with the label of the hot new debut artistic partnership. 2006’s great “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints” introduced both men to the world and it felt like it could be the calling card for a creative team to someday rival Scorsese & De Niro. Tatum reunited with Montiel on the disappointing “Fighting” and their latest venture, “The Son of No One,” while an improvement on Montiel’s sophomore slump, is nonetheless another misfire.

Blu-Ray Review: Channing Tatum Fails to Take Flight in ‘The Eagle’
Submitted by mattmovieman on July 1, 2011 - 8:37amCHICAGO – It’s safe to say Kevin Macdonald is a filmmaker more skilled in documentaries (“One Day in September,” “Touching The Void”) than he is in scripted narratives (“The Last King of Scotland,” the forgotten “State of Play” remake). His experience in nonfiction work is certainly reflected in the realism of his production design, but it doesn’t translate to his stories, which often take a shallow approach to real-life subjects.
Blu-Ray Review: Vince Vaughn Stars in Inconsistent ‘The Dilemma’
Submitted by BrianTT on May 9, 2011 - 1:14pmCHICAGO – It’s easy to write off bad romantic comedies like “Something Borrowed” or “Valentine’s Day” but Ron Howard’s “The Dilemma” lives up to its title for this critic. There are elements that truly work but the film is tonally inconsistent and features a few near-awful supporting performances. Ultimately, it’s a marginally successful film, an unusual movie that passes the time without being truly memorable.
