Alan Arkin

Pulls off the trick of the feel-good movie in a way movies haven't managed in a long time.

There is nothing new under the sun, but at least the talented Boyle still brings the heat.

For the summer months, it'll do nicely, and we can all thank our lucky stars that we get Steve Carell as Maxwell Smart.

Even dog skeptics might be surprised how deftly Marley & Me adapts newspaper columnist John Grogan's book...into the equivalent of a kid's movie for adults.

The sort of movie you root for, hoping it’ll break through to be something special. It never quite does, but it still has the not-insignificant value of two fine actresses cast as sisters.

A sort of raunchy It's a Wonderful Life, though the plentiful nudity and babbling brooks of profanity tip the scale from sensitivity to outrageousness.

A charmer in its gee-whiz, irony-light resuscitation of the movie serials of the '30s.

Were it not for a horribly transparent bit of narration in those opening moments, Thin Ice would have a better shot at working on its audience the way the filmmakers obviously hoped it would.

The awfulness of the narrative is plain to see, and yet...no one can say Stand Up Guys lacks personality.

Polished but hollow...It’s another sign of the times that Hollywood thinks we can no longer handle the original storyline. 

Dumbo has morphed into a fable of modernized entertainment business models and the handling and packaging of IP...strange thematic material for a PG Disney movie aimed at families...and it gets stranger.
