4/5
The Departed (2006) Scott A. Mantz Scorsese finds himself back in his comfort zone with a crime epic about loyalty and deception that's deeply engaging and viciously entertaining from start to bloody finish.

Knight and Day (2010) Scott A. Mantz Knight and Day shows Cruise firing on all cylinders, and moviegoers will be reminded of why they rushed out to see his movies in the first place.

3/5
Sex and the City 2 (2010) Scott A. Mantz Sex and the City 2 gives the fans what they want: more of everything. Haters will continue to hate it, but it's not for them anyway.

3/5
Iron Man 2 (2010) Scott A. Mantz It's not that Iron Man 2 isn't good. In fact, it's good enough, but it falls short of its predecessor.

3/5
Date Night (2010) Scott A. Mantz Steve Carell and Tina Fey are perfectly matched as a boring married couple on a date from hell in New York City. Their chemistry is infectious.

3/5
Clash of the Titans (2010) Scott A. Mantz Well, thank the gods for small miracles. The big-budget remake of Clash of the Titans is a pleasant surprise that's every bit as good as the cult classic from 1981.

Alice in Wonderland (2010) Scott A. Mantz It's more of a blunder than a wonder.

3/5
It's Complicated (2009) Scott A. Mantz It's Complicated may not be all that complicated after all, but at least it's entertaining enough, thanks to Streep and Baldwin.

4/5
Avatar (2009) Scott A. Mantz Avatar falls short with its story, but it ultimately succeeds with its incredible special effects.

2/5
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) Scott A. Mantz It's visually stunning and all, but this is one version of A Christmas Carol that the world can probably live without. Humbug!

4/5
Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) Scott A. Mantz A fascinating and surprisingly intimate look behind the scenes of the King of Pop at the top of his game.

4/5
Paranormal Activity (2007) Scott A. Mantz This is one seriously scary movie, and the full effect of how terrifying it is won't even hit you until 3am, when you're jolted awake by the things that go bump in the night.

5/5
Up in the Air (2009) Scott A. Mantz Never before has Clooney conveyed so much emotional depth, resulting in an unforgettable performance that's commanding, charming, vulnerable and heartbreaking.
Posted Sep 29, 2009  Edit critic review
2/5
Land of the Lost (2009) Scott A. Mantz An odd film, which will hardly be enough to turn it into the massive hit that it needs to be.
Posted Aug 21, 2009  Edit critic review
2/5
Public Enemies (2009) Scott A. Mantz It lacks the cinematic gravitas to stand alongside classic gangster epics like 'Bonnie and Clyde' and 'The Untouchables.'
Posted Jul 03, 2009  Edit critic review
4/5
The Hangover (2009) Scott A. Mantz The Hangover is sure to make moviegoers laugh so hard that their heads will hurt (in a good way, of course).
Posted Jun 05, 2009  Edit critic review
5/5
Up (2009) Scott A. Mantz The sheer brilliance of Up lies in its ability to make something so deep, profound and complex seem so innocent, fun and simple.
Posted May 29, 2009  Edit critic review
4/5
Observe and Report (2009) Scott A. Mantz A dark, daring and very funny R-rated comedy that wears its penchant for bad taste like a badge of honor.
Posted Apr 03, 2009  Edit critic review
2/5
Duplicity (2009) Scott A. Mantz Too convoluted to be romantic, too confusing to be an effective caper and too long to be entertaining.
Posted Mar 20, 2009  Edit critic review
3/5
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) Scott A. Mantz I never thought I'd say this, but 'Go Wildcats!'

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) Scott A. Mantz It's still a very entertaining film, although newcomers would be wise to check out Wardrobe if they want to better understand Caspian.

4/5
Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) Scott A. Mantz It helps that Segel is right on target as the charming nice-guy who maintains a casual vibe despite making a total fool of himself, and he has great chemistry with Mila Kunis.
