Probably every review written of Observe and Report will mention, in one context or another, Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The connection is understandable: both are satirical looks at the trials and tribulations of life as a private security guard (a.k.a...

Off the Black trudges through painfully familiar material - the older man/younger boy pseudo father/son relationship - with little regard for the fact that any seasoned movie-goer will immediately sense where the film is headed. The story's lack o...

Our Brand is Crisis is about an election but in many ways it plays out like a boxing movie told from the perspective of the trainer. The cynical, satirical edge is entirely appropriate for the world of politics in which style trumps substance and the...

There’s something distinctly off-putting about Johnny Depp’s dying-from-cancer movie, The Professor (original title: Richard Says Goodbye). It has to do with the idea that someone, once given a death sentence resulting from metastatic lun...

Sometimes, even a hardened critic can be surprised by a movie. Based on the promotional material, Sex Drive appears headed down the worn track followed by a long line of formulaic teenage road comedies. I won't bother listing the titles - those w...
