Top Movies Get the lowdown on what critics think of the top movies in release. |
| 3% Good Luck Chuck
Good Luck Chuck squanders a decent premise with an excess of gross-out humor and dull, shopworn slapstick.
| |
20% The Day the Earth Stood Still
Heavy on special effects, but without a coherent story at its base, The Day the Earth Stood Still is subpar re-imagining of the 1951 science-fiction classic.
| |
26% Resident Evil: Extinction
Resident Evil: Extinction is more of the same; its few impressive action sequences unable to compensate for the pedestrian plot.
| |
40% Death Race
Mindless, violent, and lightning-paced, Death Race is little more than an empty action romp.
| |
50% The Kingdom
While providing several top-notch action scenes, The Kingdom ultimately collapses under the weight of formula and muddled politics.
| |
25% Semi-Pro
Semi-Pro is an intermittently funny, half-hearted attempt at sports satire, and one of Will Ferrell's weaker cinematic efforts.
| |
53% Mr. Brooks
The setup is intriguing, however Mr. Brooks overstuffs itself with twists and subplots, becoming more preposterous as it goes along.

Despite The Rock's abundant charisma, The Game Plan is just another run-of-the-mill Disney comedy.
| |
66% Quantum of Solace
Brutal and breathless, Quantum Of Solace delivers tender emotions along with frenetic action. Not as good as franchise reboot Casino Royale, but still an impressive entry to the Bond canon.
| |
34% Pride and Glory
Formulaic in its plotting and cliched in its dialogue, Pride and Glory does little to distinguish itself from other police procedurals.

|
65% Apocalypto
Apocalypto is a brilliantly filmed, if mercilessly bloody, examination of a once great civilization.
| |
64% King of California
A quirky and often touching comedy about a mature teenager and her manic depressive father, King of California is a charming tale of familial relations and treasure hunting.
| |
48% Doomsday
Doomsday is a pale imitation of previous futuristic thrillers, minus the cohesive narrative and charismatic leads.
| |
71% In the Valley of Elah
Though some of Paul Haggis's themes are heavy-handed, In the Valley of Elah is otherwise an engrossing murder mystery and antiwar statement, featuring a mesmerizing performance from Tommy Lee Jones.
| |
32% The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The chemistry between leads David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson do live up to The X-Files' televised legacy, but the roving plot and droning routines make it hard to identify just what we're meant to believe in.
| |
78% Dreamgirls
Dreamgirls' simple characters and plot hardly detract from the movie’s real feats: the electrifying performances and the dazzling musical numbers.
| |
10% Fool's Gold
With little chemistry among the performers, humorless gags, and a predictable storyline, Fool's Gold fails on every level.
