Betty White can save any project, or at least salvage what little The Proposal has going for it. She plays her usual “sweet grandma” routine, although one with a rough, scathing side she is not afraid to show. Think Lake...
Land of the Lost fans are going to be ticked. While the original show is a campy piece of TV history (despite nostalgic fans thinking otherwise), this Hollywood update is stupidly offensive. Apparently, when you combine ...

Over time, one can hope that the awards, healthy praise, and hype can make Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler the classic it deserves. For whatever reason, the years other critical darlings such as Slumdog Millionaire took ...
Paul Verhoeven and “subtle” don’t go together. That’s why a war film is such an exciting concept from him; it’s a film that won’t hold back. Black Book doesn’t disappoint despite a third act that crumbles slightly....
