Easy A scores a B
I’m sure that during the pitch meeting for Easy A, someone described it as Saved meets Mean Girls. It’s got the sexy-but-funny redheaded leading lady of Tina Fey’s witty high school flick and the self-righteous religious villains of the pre-Juno teen pregnancy comedy. It’s a recipe that can’t go wrong…most of the time.

Machete, a superhero for the immigration age
The release of Machete could not have been more perfectly timed. With the immigration debate reigning as media’s hot button de jour, a film that makes a bold political statement with stellar filmmaking and performances is sure to stir up some controversy.

The book is a personal memoir about how Wilson claims to have evidence that Iraq was not trying to buy uranium from Niger despite what former President Bush said in his 2003 State of the Union. It is because of this evidence Wilson…

Galifianakis and Clement pepper in unique humor in an otherwise broad comedy…

Salt isn’t the right vehicle for a summer thrill ride
Evelyn Salt is CIA. Or she’s a Russian spy. Or she’s an American spy. Or she’s some kind of Russian/American spy hybrid. Either way, I don’t care and neither should you.

Despicable Me fun in 3D
In the tradition of Shrek, Universal’s Despicable Me is a film for kids, that’s also fun for adults. The Pixar-like 3D animation wows children and the cast list alone is enough to get adults excited. When I saw the first trailer for the film, seeing Steve Carell, Jason Segel, Russell Brand, Julie Andrews, Will Arnett, and Kristen…
