Going the Distance
September 10, 2010Gosh, the romantic comedy is hard to do. Well, the romantic comedy is hard to do well. That's an important caveat.

The Last Exorcism
September 1, 2010"The Last Exorcism" is creepy, disturbing fun... and very surprising in the way it handles the subject matter differently than how it's been handled in the past.
Lottery Ticket
August 28, 2010The filmmakers seemed to be aiming for something light and airy that would be gone as soon as you left the theater, and they got exactly that.
