Reviews of new movies released in theaters

21 Jump Street – It’s actually very funny

’21 Jump Street’ is a remake/sequel of sorts to the original 80’s TV show, but instead of angst, is filled with raunchy humor and surprisingly effective lessons.

Friends With Kids – A smart, quirky & poignant meditation on parenthood & relationships

This Jennifer Westfeldt/Adam Scott-led ensemble dramedy delivers a down-to-earth message parents can appreciate.

Being Flynn – Dignity through failure

‘Being Flynn’ tells an honest and brutal story of life’s failures and triumphs.

Does John Carter live up to the hype?

Disney has been hyping up ‘John Carter’ for quite some time, not nearly as long however, as fans of Edgar Rice Burroughs have been waiting for their favorite characters to grace the big screen.

Project X – Impressive and appalling at the same time

‘Project X’ offers a lot of nausea-inducing shaky cam imagery with appalling and irresponsible storytelling … but it still manages to have some impressive directorial touches.

Act of Valor – Sing your death song

Unless you’ve walked in the boots of a Navy SEAL or other service member who’s served ‘downrange,’ you’ve never seen action as realistic as ‘Act of Valor.’

Wanderlust – Equal parts funny & stupid

‘Wanderlust’ is a a slightly smarter ‘Hangover,’ but just as funny and foolish.
