Sigourney Weaver
Tadpole (2002)
The Village (2004)
A well-meaning, half-hour
Twilight Zone
episode stretched to the outer limits of a two-hour feature.
Imaginary Heroes (2004)
Comes across as patently false...are there really any suburbs in America like this one, with its family's cute, tragicomic disintegration in the wake of a son's suicide?
Ghostbusters II (1989)
Bottom line: with Murray on fire and enough clever dialogue to rival its predecessor,
Ghostbusters II
is good enough to put post-milennial comedy to shame.
Ghostbusters (1984)
Dan Aykroyd's inventive comedy concept for
Ghostbusters
attracted an all-star comedy team to bust out a classic of mainstream '80s cinema.
Baby Mama (2008)
Improvisational chops and sheer force of comic will...can result in funny moments and even a funny movie, but there's something conspicuously lazy about the script...
Vantage Point (2008)
Asks us to believe the terrorists would, after slaughtering countless people, risk their entire plan—and their very lives—on...well, I won't say. But from my vantage point, it was ridiculous.
Wall•E (2008)
It's best not to ask too many questions...Take the film's outstretched hand and go with it. That's the best way to enjoy a film that's as charming as a tale of two robots falling in love can be.
Avatar (2009)
Worth seeing—and, yes, in a theater—for its legitimate "wow factor"...a visually intriguing diversion and instant movie history.
Alien Anthology (2010)
It's time to get cra-zay,
Alien
fans.
Cedar Rapids (2011)
Detailed and consistently funny observation of small-town sincerity muddling through a dog-eat-dog world.
You Again (2010)
Like staring at whorehouse wallpaper: it's sort of interesting, but you have a strong feeling you might be wasting your time.
Copycat (1995)
[Gives] Weaver equal billing with everyone's favorite Southern spitfire, Holly Hunter. Teaming up these heavyweights is the genius notion of
Copycat
, a solid serial-killer thriller elevated by phenomenal acting.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
A biblical epic in 2014 is a strange beast indeed, walking a fine line in the hopes of pleasing both the faithful...and those audiences more accustomed to secular myths.
Chappie (2015)
I fervently hoped that some particularly annoyed soul would create a 'Slapheads Yell "Chappie"!' supercut...to refine the movie to its purest form of annoyance. As of this writing, internet, you disappoint me.
A Monster Calls (2016)
There’s a simple power to the clean lines of Ness’ story, and it’s greatly amplified by the work of the actors.
