A comic-book cowboy few people have heard of gets a movie that nobody will see.  Because it’s pretty terrible.  Read my review over at Film Journal.

The ’80s action-adventure show heads to the big screen courtesy of co-writer/director Joe Carnahan and I pity the fool who forks over good money to see it.  Read my review over at Film Journal.

Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl make an excellent case for divorce as a mismatched married couple in the resoundingly unfunny action comedy Killers.  Read my review at Film Journal.

Remember Marmaduke?  You know, the comic strip about the clumsy Great Dane that’s always causing trouble?  Doesn’t ring a bell?  Well, then I guess there’s no need for you to see the movie then, huh?  Good choice!  If you still need more convincing, read my review over at Film Journal.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall veterans Russell Brand, Nicholas Stoller, Judd Apatow and Jonah Hill reunite for a kinda, sorta sequel that’s more of a road trip than a rom-com.  My mostly favorable review is up at Film Journal.

Colin Farrell continues his career renaissance with a fine star turn in Neil Jordan’s small-scale Irish fairy tale.  Read my review over at Film Journal.

I expect most of the reviews of Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora to be mixed to negative and while the movie does have a number of problems, I liked it anyway–primarily for the ideas it attempts to tackle rather than its often clumsy execution.  If you have any interest in the ancient world or the origins of Western religion, it’s a must-see.  Read my review at Film Journal.

MacGruber!  The Saturday Night Live character becomes a major movie star.  MacGruber!  I was hoping it would be really funny but it’s only kind of so-so.  MacGruber!   My review is posted at Film Journal.  MacGruber!

Robin Hood is back with an all-new (but not improved) origin story courtesy of director Ridley Scott. Read my review at Film Journal.

There’s only one word for this poster: Awwwwww.  Judging the movie itself, on the other hand, requires about 700 words.  Read my review over at Film Journal.
