Alec Baldwin
Dr. Seuss The Cat in the Hat (2003)
The Cooler (2003)
Along Came Polly (2004)
The Last Shot (2004)
Has the blunt energy of a teamster's truck taking on speed bumps...watch underrated actors Broderick and Baldwin try to outdo each other.
Elizabethtown (2005)
A character plans out a 42-hour-and-11 minute journey accompanied by a 16-CD soundtrack....
Elizabethtown
feels every bit as long and music-saturated...
Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)
Starts out as a nifty satire, then turns ghastly for most of its running time.
The Good Shepherd (2006)
The film finally resembles nothing so much as its most persistent symbol: an objet d'art crafted to impress with empty trickery.
The Hunt for Red October (1990)
As for the film's suspense credentials, you know it's time to get tense when James Earl Jones intones, '
Mother of God
.'
30 Rock: Season 2 (2007)
Despite the stress of the strike, creator/head writer/star Tina Fey and her sterling team of writers and actors crafted new highs for the series...
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)
Energetic, fast-paced, and pumped full of zany humor...sure to entertain the younguns and be fairly painless for their guardians.
My Sister's Keeper (2009)
Undeniably manipulative, not only in its plot, but in its dramatization of it.
The Edge (1997)
Mamet has always been concerned with primal masculinity...The test of these men is twofold: can they survive the wilderness, and can they survive each other?
To Rome with Love (2012)
More distressing are Allen’s regressive treatment of women...and an off-putting solipsism.
Rock of Ages (2012)
Shankman's frappé of '80s rock is hideous, but weirdly fascinating...this is a movie you'll never be able to un-see, so think carefully...
Rise of the Guardians (2012)
Even if the cause and effect of the plot proves fairly impenetrable...one can't deny the film is frequently visually resplendent and imaginative...
Blue Jasmine (2013)
Blanchett's edgy comic brio, in Jasmine's blithely imperious manner, magically complements her tragic mental fragility and self-defeating desperation.
Still Alice (2014)
Still
still hums with humanity in the person of Moore, whose towering performance shows a staggering technical proficiency while never losing a whit of emotional resonance.
Mission: Impossible—Rogue Nation (2015)
McQuarrie doesn't make it easy to invest in the characters here, but paradoxically he does know how to make us grip our armrests as they face danger, and thus the mission is accomplished once more.
Rules Don't Apply (2016)
In his screenplay and performance as Hughes, Beatty offers a canny, sharply drawn, and highly personal take on the billionaire, with strong elements of lacerating self-parody.
The Boss Baby (2017)
Fairly one-note in its humor, and not as lively as you would assume it would be [but with] all-around strong voice work and a predictably sweet message about sharing the love...it’s all, as they say, good enough for government work.
Mission: Impossible—Fallout (2018)
Fallout
proves deliberately dizzying, not just with its oft-vertiginous action, but in its outrageous plotting, its deliriously absurd entanglements of double agents, double crosses, and just plain doubles...
