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…

“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.

While Samuel L. Jackson (“Jumper”) does play the ultimate antagonist in “Lakeview Terrace,” the film’s true assailant is the irritating and uncomfortable plot.

“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.

With a duo like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, I walked in the theater expecting “Righteous Kill” to deliver thrills comparable to “Heat.” It didn’t ever get that hot, but this film is a fun ride.

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).

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.

Ever since Steven Spielberg plucked him from the adverse real life environment of being a bouncer in a club to the real Hollywood life of being a soldier who gets killed by a sniper in “Saving Private Ryan,” Vin Diesel has been pushed down our throats as being a highly touted action star.

Web Editor Chelsea Otakan and Film Critic Jay Brissenden discuss 2008’s summer flicks, recent movies, and Woody Allen’s “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”

Hamlet 2 may have brought us the new smash single “Rock Me Sexy Jesus”, but it rarely delivers many laughs beyond its already ridiculous plot.
