“Burn After Reading” may just be the most irrelevant movie of all time, but with a ensemble cast performance that is arguably more charismatic than “Tropic Thunder’s”, it instantly becomes one of the year’s best.
What do you get when you mix two of the finest actors of the past 40 years with a by-the-numbers, predictable serial killer plot? You get a by-the-numbers predictable serial killer movie that fools the unsuspecting into believing it is something more.
While many critics have had fun bashing Nicolas Cage’s poorly grown mullet, I am going to stay away from wit for now and just stay that his hair might just be the most entertaining part of “Bangkok Dangerous.” In other words, this film would easily put the most devoted C-SPAN viewer to sleep (welcome back wit).
“The Promotion” tries its damnedest to be more intelligent and witty than the previous workplace duel movie “Employee of the Month,” but somehow manages to be worse.
In the mix of terrorism films that have plagued theaters this past year, “Traitor” stands out amongst the barrage with a well-crafted narrative and great performances from the entire cast.
“College” relies on dildo-using frat guys, pissing midgets and glow-in-the-dark dick wars to make people laugh. The most pathetic part is that it has almost nothing to do with college and is undeniably one of the worst movies ever made.
Every year during the last week of July, more than 100,000 comic book, movie and TV fanatics flock to San Diego for Comic-Con. While Comic-Con may sound like the name of a retarded comedian, it is actually the biggest pop-culture entertainment convention in the world.

Megatron and the rest of the Transformers can kiss Iron Man’s gold-tainted ass, because Robert Downey Jr. (“Charlie Bartlett”) and Jon Favreau (“Zathura”) have created something Michael Bay has never heard of – a clever, engaging blockbuster.
With two “Saturday Night Live” alumni taking center stage and a few others dropping in for cameos, “Baby Mama” never disappoints, but rarely surprises.
Forget about being “Superbad” and “Knocked Up,” because Judd Apatow is back with one of his funniest and raunchiest productions to-date with “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”
‘Snow Angels’ breaks post-Oscar slump with emotionally-charged drama.
It’s official. Hollywood is in the middle of one of the worst spring seasons in recent memory. The worst part is, not even Hollywood golden boy George Clooney and his perky eyebrows can reinvigorate this cinematic dry spell.
Even with the thrill of learning card-counting techniques, “21” is not able to overcome its ultimately predictable and bland true story.
