| Plot: Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro are buddy cops chasing a seriel killer seeking vigilante justice. Review: The people who made this movie have done better work. Pacino and DeNiro were better in the one scene they shared in "Heat" than they are in all of "Righteous Kill." The director, Jon Avnet, wants you to believe Pacino and De Niro are slick cops, but they don't do anything slick. The writer, Russell Gewirtz, wrote a better script for "Inside Man." That movie had a surprise ending, "Righteous Kill" doesn't. Too bad the director doesn't realize that. If you want to see Pacino and DeNiro as two slick cool cats performing at their best through an awsome script, skip "Righteous Kill" and watch "Heat." (Thriller, R, 1:40. Also starring Brian Dennehy, Carla Gugino, John Leguizamo and Donnie Wahlberg) | ||||||||||

| Plot: Al Pacino plays a college professor and forensic psychiatrist for the FBI who receives a death threat claiming he has 88 minutes to live. Review: The only good part of "88 Minutes" is the last 10 minutes. The ending is suspenseful, but up to that point this is a thriller that doesn't thrill. This is a class B movie with a class A actor. Pacino is too good for this role. When a Pacino movie is bad, at least his acting is usually good. Not here. In addition to his wild hair and bad goatee, the movie is full of cliches and too much cell phone use. (Thriller, R, 1:48. Also starring Alicia Witt and Amy Brenneman. Directed by Jon Avnet. Written by Gary Scott Thompson.) | ||||||||||

| Plot: The women of the HBO hit TV show "Sex and the City" are on the big screen. Review: This is like a full season of “Sex and the City” in one dose. The style of the movie resembles the show. All the characters are back, the women are hilarious, the plot is not rushed and Jennifer Hudson is a nice addition. If you loved the show, you'll love the movie. (Comedy, R, 2:25. Directed and written by Michael Patrick King.) | ||||||||||
