Many will claim that Hoosiers is the best sports movie ever made. For me, it's in third place, trailing only The Natural and Rocky. Some will argue that Hoosiers deserves "extra credit" because it is based on a true story - how the small-town Mil...

Hope Springs has the unusual distinction of providing a sample of what an Ingmar Bergman movie might be like if made for mass American consumption. The production leavens the painful psychological introspection that defined the Swedish director's b...

Kevin Costner knows Westerns. He also loves them. Thus far, the one-time matinee idol has directed four films; three of them have been Westerns. (The fourth, The Postman, was a Razzie-honored post-apocalyptic misfire.) After his directorial debut,...

Sometimes, it's all about the cast. That comment isn't meant to disparage the scriptwriting of Michael Markowitz, John Francis Daley, and Jonathan Goldstein, who offer their share of amusing situations and snappy one-liners, or the direction of Se...

Horrible Bosses 2 (emphasis on "horrible") is an apt title for this repugnant, unnecessary sequel. Painfully unfunny and unnecessarily long, this movie is the antithesis of its predecessor, the delightfully raunchy Horrible Bosses, which chronicle...

Low, gray clouds scud across the sky while the grass of a seemingly-endless plain ripples in response to the prompting of a spring breeze. Thunder rumbles in the distance. On another day, a bright sun gazes down on those same fields while cattl...

It's surprising that Warner Brothers has elected to release such a bad movie in the midst of the hottest box office season - flotsam of this nature is normally unceremoniously dumped in February or September. There's hardly an area in which H...
