Film Review: 'Hustlers' Is Flashy But Empty Stripper Crime Caper
Submitted by JonHC on September 14, 2019 - 10:49amCHICAGO – This striper crime caper is flashy, buffed to a high gloss, and more entertaining and watchable than it has any right to be. But it’s never quite as smart, or layered as it seems to think it is. Constance Wu from “Crazy Rich Asians” stars as the proverbial stripper with a heart of gold, Destiny.

Film Review: Story Won’t Go All the Way in ‘The Boy Next Door’
Submitted by PatrickMcD on January 23, 2015 - 7:50amCHICAGO – There was a different kind of vibe coming from the thriller “The Boy Next Door,” different than what is expected when hearing “Jennifer Lopez as teacher caught in a scandal with a student.” But for every piece of original thinking, there was a fear of making it too different.

Blu-ray Review: Jason Statham Can’t Keep Dull ‘Parker’ Interesting
Submitted by BrianTT on May 31, 2013 - 3:58pmCHICAGO – How could a movie based on a Donald Westlake book that includes Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce, Nick Nolte, and even Jennifer Lopez in support of Jason Statham be this dull? It feels like “Parker” director Taylor Hackford set out to make an old-fashioned noir but Statham and his team demanded too much of his square-jawed action. The result is a tonally inconsistent film that’s too silly to be called drama but too dull to be called escapism.

Blu-ray Review: Laughs as Elusive as Acorns in ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift’
Submitted by mattmovieman on January 2, 2013 - 9:32amCHICAGO – It ain’t over until the fat mammoth sings, and that’s precisely what happens—more or less—in “Ice Age: Continental Drift,” the fourth installment of Blue Sky Studios’ increasingly tedious, decade-old franchise. Why can’t any of Pixar’s rival animation studios come up with a marketable formula better than Celebrities Voicing Animals Delivering Tired Sitcom Dialogue?
Film Review: Boredom Awaits During ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ with Cameron Diaz
Submitted by BrianTT on May 18, 2012 - 10:16amCHICAGO – “Battleship” is getting a lot of flack this week for having little to do with its alleged source. I would argue that the awful “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” is even more dishonest when it comes to its inspiration.
