Summer 2010 Movie Reviews
Up-to-date reviews of this summer's biggest movies!
- Knight and Day (2010) Movie Scores B+I really liked Knight and Day starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. This is a light hearted action movie with plenty of well timed laughs.
- Sex and the City 2, a Mid-Life Crisis in Three ActsThinking about seeing Sex and the City 3? Read this before you go, and perhaps you will be ready for the film, or better yet, wait for the DVD.
MacGruber - the One that Lasts Longer Than 30 SecondsA review of "MacGruber," the latest film to be inspired by a sketch from NBC's "Saturday Night Live." It stars Will Forte as the title character who is better at accidently exploding bombs than diffusing them.
Robin Hood Done the Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe Way"Robin Hood" is not quite as good as "Gladiator," but it is still a very entertaining take on the legendary character with strong action scenes and excellent performances all around.- Robin Hood, a Review of a New LegendDirector Ridley Scott, and actor Russell Crowe bring a new legend of Robin Hood to the big screen. Is this new film what audiences expect, or is this re-telling too different than the man who robs from the rich and giving to the poor?
'Iron Man 2' Survives a Few MisstepsRobert Downey Jr. is in good form and some of the additions are fun, but there are also some prominent liabilities in 'Iron Man 2.'
Nash and Joel Edgerton Create a Morality Play Within "The Square"Conceived by Joel Edgerton and directed by his brother Nash, "The Square" follows a man whose lies grow bigger and harder to control.- A Nightmare on Elm Street - the Inevitable RemakeCompared to the other Platinum Dunes productions, this one fares a bit better than the rest. But when we come to the film's end, which is much like the original, we see that the whole thing is generic at best.
- 'Iron Man 2' (2010) is Not 'Spider-Man 3' but It's No 'Dark Knight' EitherRobert Downey Jr. returns in the titular role of Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, to face new challenges (both villain-wise, business-wise and health-wise) and potential new allies in "Iron Man 2". A movie review of "Iron Man 2".
The Animals Get Their Revenge on Brendan Fraser in "Furry Vengeance"With "Furry Vengeance," what you see is what you get. Although the kids will love the bird droppings all over everything, everyone else may find this film to be a big hairy waste of time.
"A Nightmare on Elm Street" Reviews Point to Another Michael Bay Unoriginal Box Office NightmareIt might be difficult to believe, but Michael Bay seems to have delivered another critical bomb in the guise of the remake of 1984's "Nightmare On Elm St." It is beginning to seem that director Michael Bay may have lost all touch with any...- Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 Reviews Become NightmarishThe new Nightmare on Elm Street touted the return of a scary Freddy Kruger in the guise of popular choice Jackie Earle Haley. However, critics are as unimpressed with the new Freddy as they were at the end of his old reign of terror.
