What's Your Number? isn't terrible, but it's ordinary, which is about what most have come to expect from the rom-com genre. The movie will be a particular disappointment to Faris' fans, who have high hopes for the Scary Movie actress.Women who have more than 20 sexual partners are likely to remain single forever.Those are the ...
The film features Tyler Labine (Dale) of the better, recent flop “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy” and the talented Alan Tudyk (Tucker) as a couple of beer-chugging “West Virginia hillbillies,” the would-be Abbott and Costello of inbreeding. In opening scenes, Tucker and Dale arrive in the deep woods to inspect their new “vacation home,” a ramshackle ...
50/50 is probably the most entertaining film we'll see this year from cancer. It 'also good performances of the male-buddy-door, Seth Rogen, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Gordon-Levitt is Adam, a young, enterprising people in public radio in Seattle, where he's a piece of dormant volcano in Hawaii. Adam has given his girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard, who apparently ...
Now, with the release of the trailer, we get our first look at "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and early Oscar buzz is confirmed: It's a serious player. It touches all of the academy buttons. It's a heart-tugger (like "The King's Speech" last year) with a serious message based upon real events (Sept. 11). It's ...
Truth is stranger than fiction. But that doesn’t necessarily make it better. “Machine Gun Preacher,” for example, is based on the life of a real man, Sam Childers, a charming gentleman whose great loves in life used to be heroin, his Harley and the tips his wife earned swinging around a stripper pole.

Freely adapting Allison Pearson's 2002 London-set bestseller, adjusted to Boston and New York locales and a tougher economy, screenwriter Aline Brosh McKenna has the devil's own time juggling agendas. It's the same for Kate, who must negotiate time-sucking work projects, a backbiting rival (Seth Meyers) and a demanding boss (Kelsey Grammer), the attentions of a ...
Gus Van Sant is a filmmaker who moves with notable ease between uncompromising independent work and crowd-pleasers, occasionally bringing elements of the two together, as he did with the high-profile "Milk." His new romantic drama, "Restless," occupies a less successful middle ground. One part "Harold and Maude," two parts "Love Story" and two parts Oregon teen ...
