Model to actress, child star to leading man, actress to singer; Hollywood crossovers are hard to pull off.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

Tuesday September 22, 2009
Tags: F. Gary Gray, Gerard Butler, Jamie Foxx, Law Abiding Citizen, See it or Skip it
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Tags: Bobcat Goldthwait, Robin Williams, See it or Skip it, World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!

See It or Skip It: Taking Woodstock

Tags: Ang Lee, Demetri Martin, Jonathan Groff, See it or Skip it, Taking Woodstock
Ang Lee's new film Taking Woodstock is something I wanted to love, but it's a sad fail on the typically brilliant director's part. Demetri Martin, who's stand up depends on his ability to make the audience uncomfortable thanks to his inertia, comes off as vacuous and dull, utterly unable to heft the load of playing the film's lead. If it weren't for Jonathan Groff, Tony-nominated Broadway darling and former star of Spring Awakening, this movie would be a total loss. Disjointed, uninvolving and somehow without a decent soundtrack (wha?
See It or Skip It: Spread

"I don't want to be arrogant... but I am an incredibly attractive man."

Thus begins Spread, starring Ashton Kutcher, the story of a man who is utterly vacuous but delightfully attractive. Hmmm, the story of Kutcher's life much? I kid, I kid, I’ve always enjoy Ashton; he’s attractive, charismatic and charming, but that charm can only go so far and, in Spread, it’s spread way too thin.

See It or Skip It: Whip It

I had high hopes for Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, Whip It, but it is supremely disappointing. Gutless, amatuerish and unimpressive, Ellen Page does her usual blase bore routine, Andrew Wilson provides momentary eye candy and Zoe Bell is delightfully charismatic but the film is intensely lackluster, unfunny and throughly skip-able. Blah.

What do you get when you mix Juno and The Hills?

Paper Heart, is a mockumentary/documentary starring Charlyne Yi, an LA based performance artist, occasional actress and girlfriend of Michael Cera, the film’s other star, as she tries to uncover what love is, how you find it and if it’s even real.
