What is more hilarious than sex addiction and porn? | Photo courtesy of Fox Searchlight If you're only going to see one movie this weekend, make the time to check out Choke. It's dirty. It's funny. It's got the great Sam Rockwell in it. If you are the type that is entertained by mindless tripe, however, you could probably do worse than Eagle Eye. Is it awful? Well, yes. But it is glossy. And there...

Behold the beautiful darkness of Gordon Willis. | Photo courtesy of Paramount While the new DVD set of The Godfather saga is a must-buy for any fan of the films, do yourself one better and head out to the Arclight and see it on the big screen, too. I guess Sex and the City was an okay movie for fans of the TV show, but I prefer this commentary on it. Leatherheads deserves some credit...

Sam Jackson stalks yet another big payday in an otherwise forgettable movie. | Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Samuel L. Jackson continues to prove he's at least a decent box-office draw as his presence lifted the rote thriller Lakeview Terrace to the top of this weekend's box-office heap ($15.6M). Last week's winner, the Coen Brothers' Burn After Reading, had a strong second week (slipping less than 50%) to finish a respectable but distant second ($11.3M/$36.4M)....

What ever happened to Neil LaBute? | Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Lakeview Terrace looks like such a rote, phony thriller that it's hard to imagine a decent (albeit declining) director like Neil LaBute being able to do much with it. Then again, it's probably Oscar-worthy compared to tripe like My Best Friend's Girl. Is there still an audience for Dane Cook? The Duchess looks like just another wan costume drama after the fiery and...

it's funny because it's true! No, wait. it's neither. | Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Much like his countryman Eddie Izzard, Ricky Gervais has never been able to find the right feature film material to properly showcase his sharp and unusual comic persona. While his television work in Britain (The Office, Extras) has been consistently brilliant, his American films have all proven to be profoundly lackluster. Unfortunately, that's a trend which continues in the dreadful Ghost...

Tasteless? Sort of. Funny? Mostly. | Photo courtesy of DreamWorks After four weeks at the top of the box-office world, The Dark Knight ($16.7M/$471.4M) was finally knocked from its aerie by the bawdy comedy, Tropic Thunder ($26M/$37M) this weekend. The Dark Knight did manage to eclipse Star Wars as the second-highest grossing film of all-time (not adjusted for inflation) over the weekend and now fixes its sights firmly on Titanic. Speaking of Star Wars, the...

Ledger continues to sketch an indelible portrait. | Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers For an unprecedented fourth week in a row, The Dark Knight fought its way to the top of the box office heap ($26M/$441.5M). Pineapple Express mounted a strong challenge on Friday, but faded slightly as the weekend continued ($22.4M/$40.4M). The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor endured--as expected--a precipitous drop in its second weekend but still managed to rake in an undeserved...
