Movie Review: Step Brothers
July 28, 2008
Seesawing from the gleefully stupid to the desperately stupid, “Step Brothers” is an indicator that the Judd Apatow juggernaut — which often includes star Will Ferrell and helmer Adam McKay (“Anchorman,” “Talladega Nights”) — has made one too many trips to the well. With Ferrell and John C. Reilly trying to outdo each other in impersonating self-absorbed, middle-aged 6-year-olds, the film is funny at times but lapses into the reflexive vulgarity that seems to be the default mechanism of the Apatow machinery.

July 28, 2008
“The Dark Knight” continues to obliterate box office records, crossing the $300 million mark in just 10 days.

That surpasses the record set in 2006 by “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” which took 16 days to make $300 million. Read more

Movie Review: Mamma Mia!
July 16, 2008
“Take a Chance on Me” may be one of its most celebrated songs, but little risk is actually involved in “Mamma Mia! The Movie,” a predictably glossy screen adaptation of the Abba-scored musical. The pic uses virtually the same creative team behind the stage original — topped by helmer Phyllida Lloyd, making her film bow — but subs in bigscreen names like Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan for the leads and adds lush Greek exteriors.

Movie Review: The Dark Knight
July 14, 2008
Having memorably explored the Caped Crusader’s origins in “Batman Begins,” director Christopher Nolan puts all of Gotham City under a microscope in “The Dark Knight,” the enthralling second installment of his bold, bracing and altogether heroic reinvention of the iconic franchise. An ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity, this is seriously brainy pop entertainment that satisfies every expectation raised by its hit predecessor and then some.
