Forest Whitaker

Forest Whitaker: 'I'm always talking about it in such a technical way, but I have to be honest: it's really much more of a spiritual experience for me...working as an actor.'

Though you might think this Forest Whitaker film (yeah, you read that right) has more going for it than the other 274 cookie-cutter fairy-tale comedies...you'd be wrong.

Graham Greene it's not....Whitaker's striking work aside, The Last King of Scotland is insipid, obvious movieland history.

Competent but fatally lacking in the element of surprise.

Were the film not so insistent on conventional payoffs, The Great Debaters could have been much more satisfying. As it is, it's a pleasant holiday film with a positive message.

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.

Perfectly positioned to take advantage of the health care debate. Unfortunately, the satire doesn’t get any more complex than 'What if the mortgage crisis were over livers instead of houses?'

Remains an intriguing blend of the political and the personal, with Stone turning his memories and his opinions about Vietnam into potent drama.

Despite admirable work from Whitaker and Winfrey, Lee Daniels' The Butler is nearly crushed by its own symbolic weight and its contrivance of a central character arc from keeping one's head down to learning to stand up.

A science-fiction masterpiece that’s largely about our perceptions of time and our struggles to communicate...unexpectedly romantic and profound in its deeper concerns, by exploring the happy-sad nature of existence itself, of being born to die.

Will give die-hard Star Wars fans multiple orgasms...runneth over with Star Wars spectacle.

Typifies middling Hollywood schlock: a pulpy, sleazy sci-fi/horror creature feature destined to cycle endlessly through cable airings and, now, to pad out streaming platforms.
