Posted On 18 Mar 2011 By Bartleby. Under 2010, 2010, Action, Action-Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction, Suspense/Thriller.
An enjoyably wild ride, Limitless suffers from a choppy half-baked script but ultimately gets saved by a charismatic and charming Bradley Cooper

Review: Red Riding Hood (2011)
Posted On 11 Mar 2011 By Bartleby. Under 1 Star (Awful), Action-Adventure, Fantasy, Horror, Romance.
Woof, woof! Red Riding Hood wants to be Twilight but it's more like Twi-lite. There's no wolf here, just a mangy dog of a movie.

Review: Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Posted On 11 Mar 2011 By Bartleby. Under 2.5 Stars (Noteworthy), 2011, Action, Action-Adventure, By Star Rating, Science Fiction, War.
'Battle: Los Angeles' has already been savaged by some critics, but in the end this is like complaining you got a greasy hamburger from McDonalds. The film delivers what the trailers are selling, a fast-paced and bombastic ground-level assault that pits alien invaders against U.S. Marines.

Review: Take Me Home Tonight (2011)
It may be unoriginal, but in a movie landscape where comedies are haphazardly thrown together without rhyme or reason, you discount the fact that Take Me Home Tonight is actually funny and competent. And features a Dan Fogler performance that ISN'T grating. That matters too.

Review: The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
Posted On 04 Mar 2011 By Bartleby. Under 2011, 3 Stars (Fantastic), Drama, Fantasy, Reviews, Romance, Romantic Comedy, Science Fiction.
Emily Blunt and Matt Damon fight fate and destiny in George Nolfi's The Adjustment Bureau. Hollywood has a less than stellar track record with adapting Philip K. Dick to the screen. Is this another 'Blade Runner' or an 'Imposter'?
