7/10
Tulsa (2020) Jackie K. Cooper An involving and entertaining faith based film that will touch your heart and cause your eyes to leak. Young actress Livi Birch has a bright future ahead of her.

Agora (2009) Philip Concannon Agora is an epic production, handsomely mounted by director Alejandro Amenábar, but the film is at its most stimulating and compelling on an intellectual level

3/4
Holy Rollers (2010) Janos Gereben Though it lacks depth, Holy Rollers captures your attention early on and is able to sustain this momentum throughout. Kevin Asch has learned from his influences well and his feature debut takes its place among the better recent independent crime dramas.

Shrek Forever After (2010) Janos Gereben If you had a tough time getting through Shrek the Third, you'll probably have an even tougher time with Shrek Forever After. Oh, but it's in 3-D. That should make things pop, but it didn't make much of an impression, sort of like the rest of the animati

The Living Wake (2007) Janos Gereben A small, peculiar film with a big, grating personality, The Living Wake is like a party crasher at an intimate gathering, momentarily intriguing and difficult to forget, but mostly for the wrong reasons.

Robin Hood (2010) Janos Gereben Robin Hood was a workmanlike film with nothing special to recommend it other than the two lead actors and beautifully shot English countryside.

Letters to Juliet (2010) Janos Gereben Seyfried is delightful in this movie whereas I have found her just annoying in others. Maybe it is that she gets to share the screen with Bernal and the luminous Vanessa. Those two could make anybody look good. Still Seyfried is also good in her scenes wi

Looking for Eric (2009) Janos Gereben Though certainly well intended and with a pleasant enough spirit, it lacks anything in the way of urgency, usually the defining trait of a Ken Loach movie.

The Human Centipede (2009) Janos Gereben If the movie works on any credible level, it's as a deranged, surreal experience.

Babies (2010) Janos Gereben For the first part of the movie the cuteness of the babies is enough but after that the sameness of the film starts to sink in and the need for something else arises.

Princess Kaiulani (2009) Janos Gereben You mourn the princess not only because of her cruel fate and that of her country, but more personally because of the magnificent way Q'orianka Kilcher portrays her on the screen.

Iron Man 2 (2010) Janos Gereben This sequel was an improvement in many ways. I preferred Don Cheadle as Tony's friend Rhodey, the two seemed to have a better rapport, and Mickey Rourke just can't be beat as a villain

The Disappearance of Alice Creed (2009) Janos Gereben The Disappearance of Alice Creed is not flawless, and Blakeson occasionally ties himself in knots with his complicated plotting, which often leads to Alice, Vic and especially Danny behaving in a manner that forwards the plot rather than one that naturall

1.25/4
Furry Vengeance (2010) Janos Gereben Kids will probably enjoy the scenes with the animals getting the best of the humans, and they will all absorb the message that nature needs to be protected, All the bad acting and boring moments in the script will be overlooked.

1.75/4
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Janos Gereben Haley is a solid replacement for Englund as the murderous Freddy. He is particularly effective in the scenes of Freddy's earlier life. Although his talent was put to better use in "Watchmen" this role should give him employment for years to come.

The Losers (2010) Janos Gereben The action in the film is continuous and the excitement is intense. Still there is something just a bit off with the whole plot, look and feel of the film.

The Square (2008) Janos Gereben Edgerton makes it a point to complicate each character and action, focusing on complex decisions that produce lasting and often violent consequences.

The Back-up Plan (2010) Janos Gereben It is nice to have Lopez back in a romantic comedy and for the most part it is an acceptable vehicle for her.

Dancing Across Borders (2009) Janos Gereben The film is a wonderful mix of ballet rehearsals and performances, the saga of a young artist's struggle and success, and a personal story of dealing with cross-cultural conflict and resolution.

Cemetery Junction (2010) Janos Gereben While Remi Adefarasin's cinematography gives the picture a superficially cinematic sheen, this is essentially small-minded fare, unimaginative in its ambitions and clumsy in its execution.

I Am Love (2009) Janos Gereben Beautiful. That's the word that most appropriately sums up I Am Love %u2013 the film is a portrait of beautiful people in beautiful surroundings, and it has been beautifully made.

The Joneses (2009) Janos Gereben The execution just didn't live up to the clever premise. If we aren't going to get into the heads of these characters as they witness the havoc they wreak, then director should have kept up the satirical tone of the

Greenberg (2010) Janos Gereben Through the casual pacing of the script and Harris Savides' gloriously brumous cinematography, Greenberg becomes more about other people's interpretations of Roger than the man himself.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) Janos Gereben For anyone who has struggled to fit in, Diary of a Wimpy Kid is full of nostalgic and painful reminders of the horrors of middle school, from gym class to school plays. It's full of genuine laughs, one of the rare films that can by enjoyed by kids and adu

How to Train Your Dragon (2010) Janos Gereben It is, quite simply, a good story told in an entertaining, imaginative and heartfelt way. Now come on, DreamWorks; was that really so difficult?

Chloe (2009) Janos Gereben Chloe, a shallow, formulaic thriller that feels rushed and somewhat routinely slapped together, registers as a surprising disappointment.

Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010) Janos Gereben One trip to this well was enough. The cast, returning from the first film, is good enough but the story is shrill and unnerving. By the time a tacky ending arrives the audience is ready for something a little lighter and a little brighter.

Clash of the Titans (2010) Janos Gereben Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Danny Huston play the three main Greek gods %u2013 Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. Neeson sort of ambles through his role while Fiennes attacks his like he is playing the lead in "Macbeth." Huston has little to do and is totally f

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) Janos Gereben Running an obscene 2 1/2 hours, presenting a story which could have made a halfway decent half-hour episode of a half-assed TV series, this Potter has no focus, a comprehensive plot, any semblance of cohesion, purpose, meaning.

Live Animals (2008) Jonathan W. Hickman No doubt a metaphor for the handling and abuse of wild animals, or a riff on human trafficking, director Jeremy Benson has made a horror film that will be PETA approved. This blood-soaked saga is one of the better entries in the sagging and tarred dramati

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) Jean Flynn Wyant With such a funny and well-loved source material, it's hard to go wrong. But director Thor Freudenthal doesn't really add much though that might be the best choice when all the laughs are right there on the page.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2009) Janos Gereben "Girl" is very much a movie without concession or restroom breaks: go prepared. The downside is that too much is not enough: the relentless - frequently unlikely - rush of events may astonish, but doesn't allow much emotional involvement.
