An albino alligator is a freak of nature. It is weak and vulnerable, and serves one purpose: bait. The alligator posse it belongs can use the albino to lure over second alligator posse. Then, when the…
I loved the first 95 minutes of American Gun. The film examines (you guessed it) the role of guns in American society. Through three separate storylines, we see how guns shape lives from Oregon to Vir…
Bambi II (yikes, what a wretched title) is a harmless, straight-to-video story that feeds off nostalgia for the classic original, while offering some new characters. Luckily, it is so careful and rev…

1. Having her in it.
2. Allowing her to play a chara…
I’ll admit that I was a little skeptical going into The Upside of Anger. By the time I was heading to the theater, I’d already seen tons of glowing reviews and Sundance raves, and Joan Allen’s pe…
Maybe it’s a side effect of the collective dumbing-down of moviegoing audiences. Maybe it’s because this new comedy starring former bad-boy rapper Ice Cube is a prime example of Lowest Common Denomina…
