Dolphin Tale’s heart is in the right place. And that helps overcome the cynicism a formulaic plot too frequently feeds.

Vince Vaughn plays the villain, Travolta the good guy in this effective thriller.

Clichés hamper Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, a movie that’s scarier than other horror films in completely unintentional ways.

Meryl Streep dominates in another remarkably precise performance in Doubt. As Sister Alouysis, she is helping to preserve her school and church against a tide of change she finds unsettling. Philip Seymour Hoffman as Father Flynn is her acting equal.

Based on the charming Dr. Seuss book from 1954, Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! is a fun movie for all ages. The animation feels just like the book, and the screenwriting (with all of those in-between lines and side stories) is clever.

Although there are some clever and funny scenes in this movie and it is visually a wonder for kids to behold, there is still something “dark” that takes all of the fun out of it. It just doesn’t have the book's charm or “feel good” quality.

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax is a captivating and charming visual feast. Yet it’s almost done in by ham-fisted didactic liberalism.

Intriguing drama follows one man's awakening to the supernatural.

Have you noticed how God seems to be working through television and the silver screen, showing us glimpses of His own heart to restore the objects of his affection? DreamWorks' latest movie, “Dreamer,” is a great example.

Producer/screenwriter Judd Apatow has quickly made a name for himself as the bankable funny guy in Hollywood. But without the right material, (see Drillbit Taylor) it may not be easy to maintain this Midas touch.

Unlike anything you’d see The Rock or Jason Statham starring in these days, Drive’s protagonist is far less flashy.

There's nothing more offensive about the new Nicolas Cage vehicle, Drive Angry 3D, than the thought of paying the inflated ticket prices to see the film in all three lurid dimensions.

Jeremy Brock’s Driving Lessons is largely autobiographical. This may be the reason that this talented writer/director was unable to remain objective about this project—much less give it what it needed to succeed.

Much like its R-rated Planes, Trains & Automobiles predecessor that starred Steve Martin and the late John Candy back in 1987, Due Date is also the madcap tale of two guys who would never take a cross-country road trip together, if extenuating circumstances weren't involved.

The “good ol’ boys” of Hazzard County step up to the big screen in the film version of the CBS TV show on which the film is based, but fans should park their memories at the door. This uncomfortably crude update is aimed straight at today’s teenage audience, with enough profanity and sexual suggestiveness to make a grown man blush.

In Duplicity, the banter between Julia Roberts and Clive Owens is too sporadic, held back by the film’s stop-and-start quality which hinders the emotional bond that might have formed between the audience and the stars.
