Date Night (2010) 67% EDIT “In timing, delivery, and charisma, Tina Fey and Steve Carell are exactly who they always are, and this is a good thing.” – PopMatters Apr 26, 2010 Full Review Funny People (2009) 69% 4/10 EDIT “Bromances like Funny People do a disservice to the friendship capabilities of straight men, making them seem stunted.” – PopMatters Aug 6, 2009 Full Review Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) 83% 5/10 EDIT “In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, complicated teenaged sexual desires are the counterpart to the sacrificial love oft touted by Dumbledore.” – PopMatters Jul 14, 2009 Full Review Angels & Demons (2009) 36% EDIT “A Harvard professor is an unlikely candidate for the hero of a summer blockbuster, and Angels & Demons demonstrates exactly why. The film is filled with talk, talk, talk.” – PopMatters May 21, 2009 Full Review X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) 37% 7/10 EDIT “Scary as Hugh Jackman's vascular body may be, it's also perfectly appropriate as a visual extension of the weaponization of Wolverine.” – PopMatters May 7, 2009 Full Review Every Little Step (2008) 91% 8/10 EDIT “Every Little Step is all about repetition, documenting the casting of the 2006 Broadway revival of A Chorus Line, a musical about the casting of a Broadway musical.” – PopMatters Apr 19, 2009 Full Review Alien Trespass (2009) 38% 1/10 EDIT “Alien Trespass won't let our knowledge of the stereotypes it incorporates do the work and make the critique.” – PopMatters Apr 7, 2009 Full Review Fanboys (2009) 33% 5/10 EDIT “That the boys are so earnest in their dedication to the Star Wars oeuvre signals their stunted adolescence.” – PopMatters Mar 8, 2009 Full Review Watchmen (2009) 64% 8/10 EDIT “For Rorschach, there are clear lines between good and evil, and in this he is the most traditional of the superheroes in Watchmen.” – PopMatters Mar 8, 2009 Full Review The Women (2008) 13% 4/10 EDIT “Despite its title, "The Women" is not an update of George Cukor's diva smackdown of the same name.” – PopMatters Sep 12, 2008 Full Review Henry Poole Is Here (2008) 39% 1/10 EDIT “Your faith and your patience won't fare well for sitting through the slow-moving, lackluster Henry Poole is Here.” – PopMatters Aug 15, 2008 Full Review The Happening (2008) 17% 6/10 EDIT “The Happening features an effectively stylized physical environment: rarely have clouds drifting overhead and wind blowing through trees and a sunny day been filmed so ominously.” – PopMatters Jun 13, 2008 Full Review Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) 88% EDIT “The film's real pleasure is in the connections it makes (whether intentional or not) to current 'real world' questions about the beneficence of institutional authority.” – PopMatters Dec 6, 2005 Full Review D.E.B.S. (2004) 43% EDIT “It's corny, clichd, and often an absolute hoot.” – PopMatters Jul 29, 2005 Full Review Batman Begins (2005) 85% EDIT “Even though the film does come down on Batman's 'side,' it raises as many questions about fear as political weapon as it answers.” – PopMatters Jul 5, 2005 Full Review Thunderbirds (2004) 18% EDIT “Here the problem is compounded by the fact that few members of the target audience (kids) are even aware of the original series.” – PopMatters Nov 19, 2004 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% EDIT “It is precisely Jackson's pandering to fans' expectations that repeatedly drags The Return of the King to a halt.” – PopMatters Feb 13, 2004 Full Review Hulk (2003) 63% EDIT “Whereas the original Hulk (and King Kong, for that matter) fought against injustice, intolerance, and abuses of power, all that this Hulk has to fight is his Big Bad Daddy.” – PopMatters Aug 30, 2003 Full Review Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) 37% EDIT “Nothing new.” – PopMatters Aug 30, 2003 Full Review Troop Beverly Hills (1989) 14% EDIT “It's a treat (and necessity) not only for youngish gay boys, but for anyone who enjoys campy good fun with the added bonus of watching dominant cultural values self-destruct.” – PopMatters May 2, 2003 Full Review Daredevil (2003) 42% EDIT “The good news is that Johnson's Daredevil follows Marvel's disability politics.” – PopMatters Feb 14, 2003 Full Review Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) 82% EDIT “The film is muddled by its slavish dedication to the minutiae of events and at the same time, erases those aspects of the book that gave it real social and political urgency.” – PopMatters Dec 1, 2002 Full Review Ghost Ship (2002) 14% EDIT “It's surprisingly good, spooky, fun, and stylish.” – PopMatters Oct 27, 2002 Full Review Swept Away (2002) 6% EDIT “Hardly 'romantic,' not a 'comedy,' and downright nasty to women.” – PopMatters Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Red Dragon (2002) 69% EDIT “It also insists there be a physical correlate to that internal turmoil, that we be able to see the mark of his degeneracy on the surface of his body.” – PopMatters Oct 4, 2002 Full Review
