(John Delia) 02/27/2013 4:34 PM EDT Taking special effects and sound to a new level for a 3D film, Jack the Giant Slayer entertains with adventure and excitement.

That said, the movie is critic proof with its giant size marketing budget and will certainly make a huge profit in the box-off ... Read More |

(Chris Rebholz) 02/22/2013 2:48 PM EDT It's hard to say what type of film "Officer Down" wants to be, but it doesn't appear particularly successful on any front. Part cop drama, part whodunit, with a dusting of action dynamics, the picture marches forward without a game plan, creating a confusing, heavy effort that depends on twists to keep the audience invested, only it's...

It was released into theaters first back in December for a short run following the conversion from 2D to 3D. Generally Pixar's films have translated well into 3D, considering the source material, and this release is no exception to that rule. Monste... Read More |
