The Santa Clause 3 Reviews

• Blogcritics: The Santa Clause 3 Reviews (2/5)
  • "Michael Lembeck delivered a palatable, if not substantial, pre-holiday season filler. It is enough to whet the appetite for the impending craziness while not making any play towards the classics. Martin Short is worth seeing, but overall it is just lacking in creativity and heart."
• Reelviews: The Santa Clause 3 Reviews (2/4)
  • "The movie looks like it was made cheaply. The actors, set design, and special effects are worthy of made-for-TV fare, so The Santa Clause 3 probably doesn't have to draw huge audiences to realize a profit, and the franchise name has enough pull to lure at leas a few families to pre-Christmas weekend showings."
• AskMen.com: The Santa Clause 3 Reviews (31/100)
  • "This is the cinematic equivalent of a gas leak."
• DVDTOWN.com: The Santa Clause 3 Reviews
  • "The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause" from 2006 not only sucks the life out of the story, it replaces it with a kind of cruelness that borders on turning the whole affair into a holiday zombie flick. I found this one sorta scary--in the very worst way."
• Slant: The Santa Clause 3 Reviews (1/4)
  • "Kids, you can tell how much your parents love you by how far away they keep you from this worthless fiasco."

88 Minutes Reviews

• Ain't It Cool News: Gouda Says Pacino's 88 Minutes Isn't Worth Your Time...
  • "...bottom line here, stay away. If you need further proof, let me tell you how the movie starts: Al Pacino dancing to hip hop music at a nightclub with a girl at least 3 inches taller than him, who appears to be 18 years old. Very creepy. Very bad film."

• Cinematical: Review: 88 Minutes
  • "...88 Minutes runs 108 minutes, and it's too long."

Despicable Me Reviews

"Despicable" doesn't measure up to Pixar at its best. Nonetheless, it's funny, clever and warmly animated with memorable characters."— Kirk Honeycutt,The Hollywood Reporterhttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/despicable-me-film-review-1004097105.story

"...demonstrates that cartoon storytelling pitched to young people is the last, best refuge of sprightly filmmaking this hard, hot summer."— Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weeklyhttp://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20398274,00.html

"..."Despicable Me" isn't afraid to be silly in introducing an antihero for the ages (which makes for great in-the-moment fun, but not so much to take with you upon leaving the theater)."— Peter Debruge, Varietyhttp://www.variety.com/review/VE1117942947.html?categoryId=31&cs=1

"So much is going on in this movie that, while there’s nothing worth despising, there’s not much to remember either."— A.O. Scott, The New York Timeshttp://movies.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/movies/09despicable.html?ref=movies

P2 Reviews

1. "P2 is a more sincere and serious horror venture, and stands out as possibly the best Christmas themed horror film since Black Christmas set its high mark in 1974. Without a doubt, horror fans have their Christmas horror film of the year, if not the last thirty. Enjoy it!" — Dread Central
2. "Cheerfully manipulative, "P2" is the kind of movie that invites audiences to yell back at the screen and cheer. And audiences will. They may feel guilty about it five minutes later, but from the first scene, that atavistic jolt is undeniable." — The Washington Post
3. "Horror movies routinely "win the weekend" at the box office, and it is no small consolation that the customers who insist on their horror movie this weekend will see a well-made one. It's such a good season that even the slashers are superior." — Roger Ebert
4. "There's a fine line between the gloriously grotesque and the repulsively grisly, and the picture crosses it too often." — Frank Swietek
5. "As the movie wears on and Angela's desperation grows, any glimmer of fun seeps away. And we're left watching the same old grim game of cat and mouse. Sure, we hope the mouse gets away. But mostly we just want the whole thing to end." — Metromix

Babylon A.D. Reviews

"The special effects are still pretty impressive, but then for some reason the film limps into a dull by-the-numbers car chase that does nothing to add to the futuristic mayhem." — Daily MirrorBabylon A.D. Review (August 8, 2008)

"Looking less like he's trying to save the planet than like he's fighting off a really bad hangover, Vin Diesel punches, shoots but ultimately dozes his way through the sloppy sci-fi." — VarietyVariety: Babylon A.D. Review (August 20, 2008)

Red Movie Reviews

"Although tailor-made for genre fans, it benefits from flavors of humor and romance that keep its appeal from being fanboy-only."— John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporterhttp://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/film-reviews/red-film-review-1004117462.story

"Red rocks like some giddy mash-up of It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, The Manchurian Candidate, Three Days of the Condor, and every movie ever made in which a hired gun yanks at his holster for One Last Stand to kill the one who brung him in the first place."— Robert Wilonsky, Village Voicehttp://www.villagevoice.com/2010-10-13/film/killer-instincts-bad-knees/

"Only a curmudgeon could entirely resist the laid-back charms of Red, an amusing, light-footed caper about a team of aging CIA veterans rudely forced out of retirement."— Justin Chang, Varietyhttp://www.metacritic.com/movie/red/critic-reviews

"Red has enough acting flourishes and incidental action pleasures to make it an adrenalin-jacked giggle, if not exactly the romp one so fervently expects."— Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinelhttp://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment_movies_blog/2010/10/movie-review-red.html

"It's a lot of fun and, because of the high quality of the cast, there's no need to feel guilty about praising such an inherently silly motion picture."— James Berardinelli, ReelViewshttp://www.reelviews.net/php_review_template.php?identifier=2194

"The action is OK, though nothing you haven't seen done better a hundred times before. Some of the gunplay becomes interminable, the filmmakers turning buildings and vehicles into Swiss cheese as characters fire off endless rounds of ammo ...

The Way Back Reviews

Of the movie critics who reviewed The Way Back ahead of its theatrical release, some, including Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter, offered favorable opinions. Farber calls The Way Back a "harrowing epic" that he says won't be "an easy sell" to moviegoers. Farber adds that in his opinion, director Peter Weir is "again working at the top of his game."http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/way-back-film-review-29943 Critic Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times says while The Way Back may be considered a "small" independent film, "in its best moments," the movie "is as big as a movie can be."http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/la-et-way-back-20101229,0,264503.story

Variety movie critic Peter Debruge says the (true) story told in The Way Back is "impressive but not especially immersive."http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the-way-back/ Andrew Schenker of Slant Magazine calls The Way Back "a decent landscape picture overburdened by the demands of narrative."http://www.slantmagazine.com/film/review/the-way-back/5219 Critic Emanuel Levy says the movie is "done in a classic, too conventional mode, sacrificing particular characterizations for the sake of its more generic humanistic message."http://emanuellevy.com/reviews/details.cfm?id=16775
