Recent Movie Reviews
Are you on a quest for recent movie reviews? If so, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, I’ve included a number of the latest movie reviews to keep you informed of what’s hot and what’s not. And keep in mind that you can buy movies like Avatar on Amazon for much less than most chains (plus we get a cut of the action). Boy, could your day get any better?
- Edge of Darkness Movie Review by Bill Goodykoontz – The critic for The Arizona Republic gives props to Mel Gibson for his return to the screen after several years of keeping his head down.
- Daybreakers Movie Review by Peter Travers – A number of critics looked down their nose at this vampire flick starring Ethan Hawke, but Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wasn’t one of them. He calls it a “nifty genre piece” with lots more balls than any entry in the Twilight franchise.
- The White Ribbon Movie Review by J. Hoberman – A mysterious film about a German village on the eve of World War I, The White Ribbon drew praise from Village Voice film critic J. Hoberman. When discussing director Michael Haneke, he says “it’s his best ever.”
- Bitch Slap Movie Review by Joe Leydon – Meant as a throwback to the days of sweaty exploitation films, Bitch Slap features plenty of hot women and explosions. Too bad it isn’t any good, at least according to Variety critic Joe Leydon. In the very first sentence, he calls is “overblown and underwhelming.”
- The Book of Eli Movie Review by Colin Covert- The film critic for the Minneapolis Star Tribune tears apart the latest film from Denzel Washington. Comparing it to Waterworld and Battlefield Earth, Covert admits to putting his head in his hands and groaning during the film’s twist ending.
- The Spy Next Door Movie Review by Ty Burr – This Boston Globe critic chides the Jackie Chan film for being “so formulaic your 6-year-old will be ticking off the plot points as they lope by.” Ouch.
- Avatar Movie Review by Rob Gonsalves – The writer for eFilmCritic heaps all kind of praise on James Cameron’s epic tale. He goes so far as to call it “very old wine in a dazzling new bottle” and “a first-class piece of big mainstream filmmaking.”
- The Tooth Fairy Movie Review by Missy Schwartz – Dwayne Johnson stars in yet another movie aimed at kids. Missy Schwartz of Entertainment Weekly calls it a “clumsy fable” and says that the star “labors for laughs.” Sounds like Missy may not get any change the next time she puts a tooth under her pillow.
- Extraordinary Measures Movie Review by Gregor Turley – This cinematic team-up between Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford gets taken to task by A1 Movie Reviews critic Gregor Turley. Comparing it more to an average made-for-TV movie, he comments that “the story has no real dramatic punch.”
- Legion Movie Review by Mike Hale – The film critic for the New York Times doesn’t care much for this apocalyptic action flick. He complains, “There are no orgies of planetary destruction; the action almost never leaves the diner, which may be just as well, since a short scene in heaven looks as if it were filmed on the set of a community college Shakespeare production.” Click on the link to read the rest of his scathing movie review.
These are the most recent movie reviews, but other films may be flooding into multiplexes by the time you read this. For the latest on new movies like The Wolfman and Shutter Island, be sure to check back often.
