Shia LaBeouf
Constantine (2005)
Reasonably satisfying cinematic junk food...enough crackerjack sequences and admirably trippy rhythms for a recommendation.
The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)
Unsubtle...A disappointment for adults, [but] still qualifies as a peppy object lesson for would-be overachievers.
A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006)
A sincere examination of the moment, on the cusp of adulthood, when children must decide whether to get out of the only life they've known or honor it by staying home.
Disturbia (2007)
Fails on the scores of credibility and originality, but since it's nearly as thrilling as it is unlikely, the picture works out to be trashy fun.
Surf's Up (2007)
What's black and white and brings in the green?
Transformers (2007)
A sort of Ambien/No-Doz cocktail likely to send all but fanboy brains into self-protective shutoff mode.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
George Lucas adopted a new mantra: 'It's only a movie, it's only a movie, it's only a movie.' And he's right. It'll certainly do for a Friday night. But to...fans, the 1980s films are more than movies.
Eagle Eye (2008)
So colossally ridiculous (and transparently derivative) that willing suspension of disbelief is a fool’s errand.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Never in the field of blockbuster movies has so much been spent on so little.
New York, I Love You (2009)
Some of the twelve short films are nice enough, some are shaky and a few are outright awful...
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
Though the carpe diem theme comes as something of a surprise,
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
makes its political points, with 'moral hazard'—the dark side of second chances—the film’s punny refrain.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011)
Intensely juvenile, casually sexist, and blatantly stupid in ways that few if any over the age of 'T for Teen' or bereft of a Y chromosome could enjoy.
Lawless (2012)
Tough-minded...In recounting 'the Great Franklin County Moonshine Conspiracy,'
Lawless
does not lack for local color and local legend.
Fury (2014)
A throwback combat movie that offers tanks for the memories, along with vivid performances.
Freaks and Geeks: The Complete Series (1999)
Had a lot going for it: a strong creative vision from authorial forces who would go on to take Hollywood, a talented cast that would essentially do the same, and that premise.
