PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

Another marijuana blockbuster

This summer we've had two big, high-quality films with plots blatantly built around the use of marijuana: The Wackness and Pineapple Express.

BRIDESHEAD REVISITED

Putting a classic on a too-tall pedestal

Director Julian Jarrold's cinematic adaptation of Evelen Waugh's 1945 novel is equivalent to a reasonably well-worded summary one might find on SparkNotes.

Mamma Mia!

Inherently silly

For all those of you out there who choose not to join the rest of the universe in the violent underworld of Gotham City this week, do not despair.

HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY

True to its maker and del Toro's vision

Hellboy II: The Golden Army is exactly what it should be: a lurching, screaming, many-tentacled monster of a movie.

WALL-E

Robots Need Love Too

It seems the suits at Disney gave Andrew Stanton plenty of freedom for his newest project, WALL-E.

GONZO: THE LIFE AND WORK OF DR. HUNTER S. THOMPSON

The romanticization of a man many sort-of knew

It's hard to go wrong when examining the life of novelist, inventor of gonzo journalism, drug fanatic, gun addict,

THE STRANGERS

Macramé's scarier

Let's salute the creators of The Strangers for their great public service: This film could single-handedly put an end to the practice of thrill killing. That's because it makes the act of murder look more boring and tedious than macramé.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN

Life in Narnia gets a little stale

 

The Pevensie siblings are back for another round. They return to a Narnia where time has passed, Aslan the lion is nowhere to be seen, and the Narnians have almost disappeared, pushed to the brink of extinction by Prince Caspian's people—who have also denied him the rightful throne.

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

Superhuman Ford lessens the fun

 

The big question on everyone's mind regarding this new Indiana Jones film was what kind of effect Harrison Ford's advanced age would have. The surprising answer is that weirdly, little has changed. We get the same high-wire, death-defying wall-to-wall action scenes that have defined the franchise from the beginning. But there is something crucial missing.

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL

All hail the heartfelt funny

Judd Apatow's a genius, blah, blah blah. Spawned the next generation of comedic filmmakers ... yawn.

You may have heard it before, and with the impending summer release of Pineapple Express, you're bound to hear it all again; but it's hard to act blasé when we're still reaping the benefits of Apatow's collaborative efforts on the tragically short-run series Freaks and Geeks (for which he was the executive producer).
