Famous for thwarting the plans of humanity’s most insidious villains for 45 years, it’s hard to believe that in Bond’s 22nd mission, the legacy of the most endearing spy meets its demise at the hands of three Hollywood screenwriters.

In one of his most mature outings to date, Jonathan Demme (“The Manchurian Candidate”) creates a raw and powerful look at the struggle for acceptance and forgiveness in “Rachel Getting Married.”

Combining A-list stars with child actors is a risky maneuver. Sometimes it can pay off, like in “The Pursuit of Happyness,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Little Miss Sunshine.” More often than not they fail horribly, like “First Kid,” “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over” or “Are We There Yet?” Luckily, “Role Models” risk it all and win big.

The year is 1928. Collins, a single mother living in Los Angeles, comes home from work to find that her son Walter (Gattlin Griffith, “Eli Stone”) has disappeared.

Outrageously vulgar and proud of it, “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” epitomizes the essence of director Kevin Smith, even with its clichéd conclusion.

The most terrifying part of “The Strangers” is not the people in creepy doll masks or the torture sequences: it is the fact that this one-and-a-half hour film is one hour too long.

Jason did it. Freddy did it. Even Chuckie did it. Hell, everyone’s done it. Every major horror films’ antagonists for the past 20 years are guilty of the same crime (excluding cheesy pre-kill one-liners, of course). They each dragged their sequels and franchises out way past their prime. So it comes as no surprise that in the spirit of tradition, Jigsaw does the same.

George W. Bush is one of the most interesting characters of our time. He comes from an exceptionally posh background, once had a university-level love of alcohol, has earned his own word for faux pas and still managed to serve as president for the better part of a decade.
That last sentence can also serve as a summary for “W.,” the almost-anticipated, almost-biopic of our 43rd president.

Disguised as a patriotic version of “Eurotrip,” “Sex Drive” offers little new to the teenage sex comedy except a glimpse of Amish gone wild and an ingenious term for a Cleveland steamer.

Filled with big explosions and enough deception to make the Bush administration look clean, “Body of Lies” is a very complicated yet somewhat meaningless high-profile thriller.

Zombies, crazed dogs and paranoia come together to give “Quarantine” a decent plotline.

For such an epic film that tries to capture the raw and brutal side of humanity, there is little light to be seen in “Blindness.”

“Blindness” gives a dark glimpse of what the world would be like if almost the entire population was to go suddenly blind.  The story focuses around the journey of a doctor [...]

“Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist” is a splendidly funny comedy that lacks believability but keeps viewers rolling with laughter.

Offering an acclaimed cast and a throwback to old westerns, “Appaloosa” moseys along and delivers a muddled plot that is less exciting than spitting into a bucket.

With 2008 being an election year, the Big Brother-themed “Eagle Eye” seems to be released right on time to remind the nation of the dangers of technology. This starts as a social commentary, but ends up being just some more dirt in a dust tornado as car crashes and chase scenes keep this film from being anything beyond mediocre.
