Revew: Fly Me to the Moon
Fly Me to the Moon
This animated film is a simple parable of spirited can-do-ism, in which a trio of young houseflies semiaccidentally tags along on the Apollo 11 moon shot.

Revew: Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Woody Allen's newest is by no means a bad film, but it’s irrefutable evidence that Allen has aged – or cloistered – himself into irrelevance.

Revew: American Teen
American Teen
A princess, jock, rebel, heartthrob, and geek: It could be The Breakfast Club, but American Teen is instead a documentary that ducks the consequences of its own making.

Revew: Hell Ride
Hell Ride
This grindhousey biker film, executive-produced by Quentin Tarantino, is a convoluted, overly snazzy-looking tale of bad blood between even worse people.

Revew: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
Female camaraderie, nostalgic sentimentality, and emotional catharsis are back in this sequel: The film hits its marks but lacks real depth.

Revew: Pineapple Express
Pineapple Express

Revew: Man on Wire

Revew: Elsa & Fred
Elsa & Fred
A septuagenarian love story from Spain, Elsa & Fred will likely warm the cockles of your heart, even though it’s hardly the stuff of great romance.

Revew: The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Mulder and Scully, these once-keen buckers of bureaucratic BS and masters of the painfully engorged tease, have become deadly dull in this newest incarnation.

Revew: Brideshead Revisited
Brideshead Revisited
It's a film, not a miniseries, but this rendition's attention to the steep divides of class and religion in prewar England remains as sharply etched as ever.

Kimberley Jones, Aug. 1, 2008

Revew: Ripple Effect
Ripple Effect
Like a pilgrim seeking salvation, Ripple Effect is awash in self-important questions, becoming an exercise in pop mysticism which stars Forest Whitaker.

Revew: Swing Vote
Swing Vote
Kevin Costner’s new comedy may be timely, but that doesn’t make it funny or worthwhile.

Revew: The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
This third outing makes it abundantly clear that this once-fresh mummy franchise is dead in everything but name.

Revew: Tell No One
Tell No One
The many pleasures of this riveting psychological thriller from France derive more from the perplexing questions it raises than the discovery of the answers.

Revew: Kabluey
Kabluey
Oddball tale of a directionless young man who moves in with his sister-in-law, whose husband is in Iraq with his National Guard unit, is quirky but unaffecting.
