21 Jump Street movie review & film summary (2012)
Here's the last movie I was expecting with this title. In other words, "21 Jump Street" is pretty good. There seemed to be little demand for a movie spinoff of the crime drama that ran on Fox from 1987 to 1991, and which had an early starring role for Johnny Depp. Perhaps realizing that, the filmmakers have abandoned any pretense of being faithful to the series, and turned to a mashup of ...
21 Grams movie review & film summary (2003)
Advertisement. The film is by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, the almost unreasonably talented Mexican filmmaker whose "Amores Perros" (2000) was an enormous success.

IF movie review & film summary (2024)
That's especially true for the film's central IF, Blue (Steve Carell), a purple, snaggle-toothed furball resembling the Grimace as subjected to years of British dentistry. Rather than play him with any kind of arched eyebrow, Carell gives a surprisingly workmanlike performance, a right shame given the verbal dexterity that lets him own wild ...
Dune movie review & film summary (2021)
As a pretentious teenager in the 1970s, I didn't read much sci-fi, even countercultural sci-fi, so Dune missed me.When David Lynch's 1984 film of the novel, backed by then mega-producer Dino De Laurentiis, came out I didn't read it either.As a pretentious twentysomething film buff, not yet professional grade, the only thing that mattered to me was that it was a Lynch picture.
