Step Up 2 The Streets

14-Feb-2008
Dir: Jon Chu. US. 2008. 98minsA fresh slate of young performers, combined with energetically staged and photographed sequences that convey the cathartic joy of dance, easily outweigh some of the more predictable rhythms of formulaic storytelling in Step Up 2 the Streets, a fun, flirty and engaging teen drama and stand-alone sequel that serves as the latest entry in a line of pan-ethnic dance films pitched chiefly at teens and big-city twentysomethings.
Over Her Dead Body

1-Feb-2008
Dir: Jeff Lowell. US. 2008. 95 mins.A languid, thinly sketched and habitually unfunny supernatural comedy that never scratches beyond the surface of its conceit, Over Her Dead Body quickly wears out its welcome in both this world and the next. Delving into a love triangle comprised of a pleasant guy, the psychic who falls for him and the vengeful, deceased fiance trying ...
Rambo

24-Jan-2008
Dir: Sylvester Stallone. US. 2008. 91mins.Cynically using the decades-long Burmese civil war as a backdrop for grisly and unremitting violence, muscle-headed action flick Rambo comes off as a sad and empty attempt to be politically relevant. Coming almost two decades after the last series entry, and on the heels of the successful commercial and critical reception of 2006's Rocky Balboa, which located fresh narrative terrain and ...
Cloverfield

18-Jan-2008
Dir: Matt Reeves. US. 2008. 84 mins.An exercise in guerrilla-style genre filmmaking that reframes a classic monster movie conceit as a post-September 11 allegory of big city trepidation, new Internet sensation Cloverfield emerges from the cocoon of its pre-release hype as thrilling piece of terror tailor-made for our times. Skilfully evoking more dread than lasting cathartic release, the sensibly-budgeted film should make its mark as the first hit of 2008, connecting ...
27 Dresses

4-Jan-2008
Dir: Anne Fletcher. US, 2008. 111minsWell cast, slickly produced and performed with enough spirit to counterbalance its frequently stupendous lack of originality and plausibility, 27 Dresses pulls all the right levers for (mostly female) diehard romantic comedy audiences looking for just a pinch of wistfulness to go alongsidestray wish-fulfillment scenarios.
The Great Debaters

18-Dec-2007
Dir: Denzel Washington. US. 2007. 125 minutes.A strong and similarly emotionally resonant follow-up to his 2002 debut behind the camera, Antwone Fisher, Denzel Washington's second directorial effort is a familiarly structured but extremely effective drama. Lacking pretense and guile, The Great Debaters tells the true story of an African-American college debate team who overcomes racial prejudice to string together an unprecedented number of victories ...
The Water Horse: Legend Of The Deep

14-Dec-2007
Dir: Jay Russell. US. 2007. 113mins.Part gentle coming-of-age story, part whimsical animal flick, The Water Horse: The Legend Of The Deep tells the story of a young Scottish boy who serves as both friend and parent to a mysterious newborn creature that he eventually has to return to nearby Loch Ness. Mixing live action and CGI and anchored by solid performances, the film seems poised for decent holiday returns from core family ...
Alvin And The Chipmunks

13-Dec-2007
Dir: Tim Hill. US. 2007. 91minsFor nearly 50 years, in various incarnations on the small screen and in other forms of media, lively chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore have been delighting young audiences around the world, wreaking havoc and crooning in distinctively high-pitched, three-part harmonies which have become a pop cultural mainstay. Now, a colourful but uninspired CGI /live-action hybrid film seeks to ...

14-Nov-2007
Dir: Andrew Wagner. US, 2007. 105minsA superb performance by Frank Langella anchors the exceedingly literate, engrossing Starting Out In The Evening, a richly drawn and for the most part artfully understated portrait of an aged novelist struggling with the flickering flame of creativity's muse. Mainstream breakout potential is highly unlikely given the film's serene rhythms and preference for debate over action, but distributor Roadside Attractions should ...

1-Nov-2007
Dir: Simon J. Smith & Steve Hickner. US. 2007. 90mins.Misguided narrative choices prevent Bee Movie, small screen king Jerry Seinfeld's sociable freshman entry into the animated fray, from fully taking flight. Spinning the story of a young bee who discovers life outside of his hive and sues humankind over their co-option of honey, the movie establishes an identifiable personality but doesn't carve out a deep and complicated enough setting or provide enough ...

Dir: Menno Meyjes. US. 2007. 108minsWell acted if sweetly moralising, Martian Child tells the story of a science fiction writer who adopts an orphaned boy who claims to be from Mars. Based on the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning short story by genre luminary David Gerrold, the film is an extremely personable, smarter than average family dramedy with just a pint-sized pinch of the is-he-or-isn't-he commotion of 2001's K-Pax, which also centered around ...
The Heartbreak Kid

5-Oct-2007
Dir: Peter and Bobby Farrelly. US. 2007. 116 mins.A story of awkwardly overlapping romances liberally seasoned with the over-the-top humour patented by the Farrelly brothers, The Heartbreak Kid reunites the behind-camera comedy specialists with star Ben Stiller in a careening showcase for serial outrageousness. The film is a loose update of director Elaine May and writer Neil Simon's 1972 film of the same name.Fresh off the top earner ...
Resident Evil: Extinction

25-Sep-2007
Dir: Russell Mulcahy. US. 2007. 94 minutes.A movie of intermittent action catharsis and reliably deafening sound design, the altogether middling Resident Evil: Extinction takes the videogame action franchise to the desert, allowing star Milla Jovovich to energetically lop off zombie heads in a manner that will please series aficionados but leave newcomers mostly fidgety and baffled.2002's Resident Evil was a surprisingly strong ...
Good Luck Chuck

21-Sep-2007
Dir: Mark Helfrich. US. 2007. 99 mins.A high-energy servicing of the randy, relationship-oriented sex comedy sub-genre, Good Luck Chuck feels work-shopped for big business, but beset by awkward tonal swings that seem less a function of story, and much more nakedly designed to try to lure in different demographics. The result is a ramshackle piece of fleeting entertainment that lacks the airy, character-rooted charms of fellow R-rated comedies Wedding Crashers ...
Balls Of Fury

28-Aug-2007
Dir: Robert Ben Garant. US. 2007. 90mins. A rather shockingly enervated treatment of a colourful, wilfully silly concept, Balls of Fury looks to disappoint both those expecting the bawdy underdog tale of a make-good loser and those seeking something a bit more offbeat from its creators, the creative team behind the small screen cable series Reno 911.Obvious benchmarks, both in the movie's ...
The Bourne Ultimatum

27-Jul-2007
Dir: Paul Greengrass. US. 2007. 113mins.The Bourne Ultimatum serves as an involving and fitting bookend to Matt Damon's character-powered spy thriller series, paying off in a thrilling manner his amnesiac assassin's search to uncover the roots of his identity while also delivering plenty of slam-bang, real-world action set across a sprawling variety of locations.
The Simpsons Movie

25-Jul-2007
Dir: David Silverman. US. 2007. 87mins.Mixing to pleasingly irreverent effect the same sort of light social satire, dysfunctional family comedy and base physical gags that have been part of its well-honed formula for almost 20 years, The Simpsons Movie smoothly jumps the yawning chasm from small screen to large, delivering consistent laughs from the fallback position of a wide, nearly uninterrupted smile.
Transformers

22-Jun-2007
Dir: Michael Bay. US. 2007. 142mins.Director Michael Bay delivers another stylishly shot, escapist movie gumball with Transformers, an orgiastic action extravaganza based on Hasbro's line of convertible kids' action toys. Some likeable characters and early, intriguingly seeded plot strands of clandestine overlap are sacrificed at the altar of expediency and clash, and in its third act the movie suffers a tonal blowout, and becomes a furious assault on the ...

Mr Brooks

31-May-2007
Dir: Bruce A. Evans. US. 2007. 117mins.A lurching, zigzag tale of serial murder, killer apprenticeship, malevolent reverence and cat-and-mouse investigation, Kevin Costner's Mr Brooks puts a deliciously warped spin on what are by now many prim and proper thriller conventions. A throwback to a certain breed of wildly plot-driven thrillers from the 1980s, the film surfs along on its own crest of rising ridiculousness before slowly becoming something more interesting ...

Grindhouse

1-Apr-2007
Dirs: Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino. US. 2007. 192mins. Intended as an enthusiastically grimy, collagist tribute piece to low-budget, ultra-violent and offbeat exploitation flicks of yore, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse delivers an uneven mixture of patchwork, sugar-rush thrills.

3-Jan-2007
Dir: Paul J. Bolger. US-Ger. 2006. 87mins.The animated subversion of fairytale conventions kick-started by Shrek continues in Happily N'Ever After, a thinly imagined, satirical retelling of the classic story of Cinderella that runs aground on the shoals of cheekiness courtesy mainly of an awkwardly forced irreverence.A wide release and some colorful marketing muscle will ...
