This Ben Stiller-directed comedy may be an uneven parody, but it is so right on most of the time that it hurts to laugh.

Starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, its a stoner romp and a also a funny send-up on classic action TV series and action films.

If there were ever a completely paint-by-numbers movie, this lame action retread filled with lame jokes  in a lame plot would be it.

The science vs. faith argument bludgeons the audience and the central mystery has an absurdly silly resolution in this feature-length version of a mediocre TV episode.

A celebration of a genre-busting writer/rabble-rouser and an elegy for a time period when a freak like Hunter S. Thompson could get access to political leaders and actually affect radical change.

Christopher Nolan’s Batman epic may be a little overstuffed, but it’s also a riveting, morally complex tale with a standout villain and thrilling action. 

Guillermo Del Toro’s love for creature features comes through, but his story is uncomfortably rote in this comic book sequel.

Chaplinesque whimsy and serious sci-fi themes combine to make this adventurous Pixar film an instant classic.

“Wanted” is, quite simply, every nerdy fanboy’s fantasy come true in fast-paced, ridiculously fun fashion.

Edward Norton and Liv Tyler star in this decent, by-the-books redo/continuation of Marvel’s mean green machine.
