Jesse Eisenberg in "Now You See Me."

Action · Adventure · Comedy

FILM: Magical Moments and Escapist Entertainment In “Now You See Me”

“Now You See Me” is what summer movies are all about: fun, energy, likeable stars and suspensions of belief. Directed by Louis Letterier, “Now You See Me” tells the story of four magicians (Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco) who pull off a series of elaborate heists through (continued…)

The Hangover Part III

Comedy

FILM: No Hangover and Not Much Fun in “The Hangover Part III”

With the first “The Hangover” film, Director Todd Philips stumbled on a monster mega-hit that took the buddy frat-boy comedy and added never-seen-before originality to it. The story of 3 friends on a bachelor party trip to Vegas, getting blackout-wasted and having to retrace their steps in order to find (continued…)

FILM: A Generic Buddy Comedy, Covered With Familiar Green Slime in “The Watch”

Four goofy buddies get together to save the world from aliens, monsters, and ghosts — there may even be green or pink slime involved. Sound familiar? Newly released film “The Watch” directed by SNL and Lonely Island veteran Akiva Schaffer and written by “Superbad” duo Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg (continued…)

Ruby Sparks

Comedy · Indie · Romance

The Charming and Sometimes Entertaining “Ruby Sparks” Never Completely Ignites

In “Ruby Sparks,” Calvin Weir-Fields (Paul Dano) had the misfortune of being a child prodigy. At a tender young age, he published a towering work of fiction akin to “Catcher in the Rye,” and ever since then, he has had to grapple with crippling writer’s block, social anxiety and girls (continued…)

To Rome, With Love

Comedy · Romance

Film: To Woody Allen, With Disappointment

“To Rome With Love” is Woody Allen’s latest love letter to the great cities of Europe. Unfortunately, his previous efforts in “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” and “Midnight In Paris” were much more successful than his Italian attempt. “To Rome With Love” is a film that encompasses four distinct, unrelated and unfinished (continued…)

Ted

Comedy

A Man-Child and His Foul-Mouthed Bear Bring Big Laughs in Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted”

In a way, it makes sense that “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane‘s first film would tackle the relationship between a 35 year old man-child and his teddy bear come-to-life. MacFarlane, whose obsession with pop culture — and the incessant need to remind us that the ‘80s existed —co-wrote, produced and (continued…)

Rock of Ages

Comedy · Music · Musical

FILM: “Rock of Ages” Proves To Be a Campy 80s Journey That Goes On and On and On…

“Rock of Ages” is the new musical comedy extravaganza from “Hairspray” director and “Chicago” choreographer Adam Shankman. Though the trailer definitely looked suspect, I’m a fan of both of his previous films, and so I held out hope that “Rock of Ages” would be worth the time. It wasn’t. The (continued…)

Lola Versus

Comedy · Indie · Romance

FILM: How “Lola Versus” Tackles the Crazy Adventure Called Life

Upon exiting the theater, I heard a lot of talk about clichés and conventions. Yes, there were elements of “Lola Versus” — the bold, new romantic comedy written and directed by filmmaking duo Daryl Wein and Zoe Lister-Jones — that were a little cliché.  Yet clichés exist for their kernels (continued…)

Moonrise Kingdom

Comedy · Drama · Indie · Romance

FILM: The Wonderfully Pastiche Playhouse of Wes Anderson’s “Moonrise Kingdom”

At this point in his career, the most common criticism you’ll hear about Wes Anderson is  that he’s become a parody of himself. With the too-bizarre-too-take-seriously “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou” and the underwhelming “Darjeeling Limited” (the adorably kitschy stop-motion menagerie “The Fantastic Mr. Fox” notwithstanding), it’s a hard (continued…)

The Intouchables

Comedy · Drama · Foreign · Indie

FILM: The Transformative Power of Friendship and Humor in “The Intouchables”

“The Intouchables” is something of a phenomenon in its native country. Smashing box office records in France and across Europe, this truly touching film made me laugh, cry, think about the meaning of life, and develop a pretty huge crush on French film star, Omar Sy. But, with sudden popularity (continued…)

FILM Turn Me On, Dammit!

Comedy · Drama · Foreign · Indie · Romance

FILM: Subversive Quirk Works Wonders in “Turn Me On, Dammit!”

Teenage boys are horny. An obvious notion that’s been cinema’s long time obsession through a seemingly endless—and in most cases superfluous—supply of both raunchy and indie male-centric coming-of-age films. Particularly in the last decade. Which makes it all the more refreshing to see Norwegian writer/director Jannicke Systad Jacobsen’s “Turn Me (continued…)

Hysteria

Comedy · Drama · Indie · Romance

FILM: Comedy Meets Sex-Ed In Tanya Wexler’s Amusing “Hysteria”

The mostly true story of the invention of the vibrator, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, is a pleasant romp through Victorian gynecology and sexual mores. It has a few laughs, many cringes, and generally affirms the notion that no matter how bad things are today, they are most certainly (continued…)

Men in Black III

Action · Adventure · Comedy · Sci-Fi

FILM: Third Times a Charm for the “Men in Black”

Amid what’s slated to be one of the biggest summers for Hollywood — with “Marvel’s The Avengers” smashing box office records, and the highly anticipated releases of “The Dark Knight Rises” and “The Amazing Spider-Man” slated for release later in the season — my anticipation for a third “Men in (continued…)

Take This Waltz

Comedy · Drama · Foreign · Indie · Tribeca Film Festival

Dispatches From Tribeca: ‘Take This Waltz,’ ‘As Luck Would Have It’ and ‘First Winter’

Photo Courtesy of Tribeca Film Festival Celeb Sightings: Walking down the street, playing on my phone, I looked up and realized that I was walking next to Patricia Clarkson (who was also playing on her phone). Also, Dakota Fanning was in my screening of “First Winter,” which is surprising because (continued…)

Dispatches From Tribeca: ‘Your Sister’s Sister,’ ‘Side by Side,’ and ‘Chicken With Plums’

Photo Courtesy of Tribeca Film Festival[divider] Tribeca is an interesting festival. It boasts a plethora of high-profile star attendance (this year’s jury for competition films includes Rosario Dawson, Patricia Clarkson, Hugh Dancy, Dakota Fanning, Whoopie Goldberg, Olivia Wilde, Brett Ratner, and Susan Sarandon, among others. Robert De Niro and Judd (continued…)
