Print John P. Hanlon Follow Read Full Bio 'Jeff, Who Lives at Home' Review: Duplass Brothers Cut Corners on Slacker Comedy The minds behind the quirky comedy "Cyrus" return with another original tale, but this time the characters in question are too lazily drawn for us to care. 18 Mar 2012 'Friends with Kids' Review: Familiar Story Yields Unexpected Pleasures The new dramedy "Friends with Kids" may hit some familiar notes, but the polished script and winning performances set it apart from other 2012 releases. 9 Mar 2012 'Good Deeds' Review: Perry Panders to Undemanding Fan Base 'Tyler Perry's Good Deeds' lets the writer/director/star fall back on familiar storytelling tics. 2 Mar 2012 Battle for Oscar Gold: The Actor Edition This has been a year of great male performances in the movie theaters. It’s unfortunate, though, that that Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences failed to recognize two of the year’s best. Michael Fassbender’s work in “Shame” should have received a Best Actor nomination and Albert Brooks’ unlikely villain in “Drive” should have been nominated – and won – for Best Supporting Actor. 26 Feb 2012 BH Interview: Real-Life 'Vow' Couple Pray Audiences Will Commit to Marriage 20 Feb 2012 'Coriolanus' Review: Fiennes Directorial Debut Does Shakespeare Proud It’s difficult not to appreciate the contemporary significance of the new film “Coriolanus.” The story follows a brilliant military leader who — upon returning to Rome after a valiant fight — is cast out of the city. Perhaps the title character doesn’t have the personality of a politician. But he has the integrity of a hero, and that should count for something. Shouldn’t it? 18 Feb 2012 'This Means War' Review: Spy Games Gum Up Love Triangle, Not Star Chemistry Both “Coriolanus” and “This Means War” arrive in theaters this weekend. The former is actually about war. The latter doesn't involve battle sequences but a rivalry between two men of action. The word "War" sounds better on a movie marquee, so a fight between two friends for the love of a woman is amplified to attract more ticket buyers. 17 Feb 2012 'Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace 3D' Review: Jar Jar Aside, Prequel Still Has Merit When people think of the first official chapter in the "Star Wars" saga one character comes to mind: Jar Jar Binks. The film's comic relief created so much animosity than even diehard fans of the series were turned off. The impish Gungan was mocked for his insipid dialogue and stupid clownishness. It is true that Binks is one of the worst--if not the worst-- characters in this distinguished series. But despite its well-documented flaws, “The Phantom Menace” is much better than its detractors suggest. 13 Feb 2012 'Pina' Review: Dance Legend's Legacy Roars to Life 4 Feb 2012 'The Innkeepers' Review: Old-Fashioned Suspense Makes a Comeback 3 Feb 2012 Previous 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Next
