US release date: May 2, 2008
MPAA: PG-13
Box Office: $1,779,449
Craig YounkinApril 29, 2008
It falls short of capturing the nostalgic good-feelings that childhood fantasy creates.
'Baby Mama' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinApril 26, 2008
'Harold and Kumar 2' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinApril 25, 2008
Has all the crude fun that one might expect plus a few politically incorrect things to say.
'88 Minutes' Movie Review (D-)Craig YounkinApril 19, 2008
Al Pacino is one of those few actors you literally would see the biggest piece of crap just to see what he would do in it.
'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinApril 19, 2008
'Street Kings' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinApril 12, 2008
Hard-nosed, gritty filmmaking. The cast is right on the money, the writing and direction is terrific.
'Leatherheads' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinApril 5, 2008
'Semi-Pro' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinMarch 2, 2008
'Atonement' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinJanuary 3, 2008
It's not nearly as painful as I was expecting. Only it also does not have the heart to become the great film it probably could have been.
'Juno' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 29, 2007
Is not as great as many have said but it's a sweet and funny flick about being on the cusp of adult-hood.
'Charlie Wilson's War' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinDecember 29, 2007
A really rich showcase for all of them, and a really good history lesson as well.
'National Treasure 2' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinDecember 23, 2007
Is much like its 2004 predecessor and I will be one of the few critics to say that I don't think that's a bad thing.
'Walk Hard' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinDecember 23, 2007
I'm not saying the movie isn't funny, but I am saying that for what he's trying to do, it needed to be funnier.
'Bee Movie' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinNovember 7, 2007
Once the story really gets going, Seinfeld succeeds neither in creating something that's lively enough for kids or satirical enough for adults.
'American Gangster' Movie Review (C+)Craig YounkinNovember 4, 2007
American Gangster is all about two Oscar winners and a huge name director so you would expect a classic here. Oddly enough, the movie comes off as a meager effort at best.
'Darjeeling Limited' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinOctober 31, 2007
This is my last outing with Wes Anderson. With the exception of The Royal Tenenbaums, I just don't get it.
'Into the Wild' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinOctober 29, 2007
Into the Wild is a beautiful looking movie and that's where it works best.
'Rendition' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinOctober 22, 2007
This movie neither makes provocative points or earns sympathy or respect for the characters it portrays.
'Gone, Baby, Gone' Movie Review (A)Craig YounkinOctober 20, 2007
Affleck really goes above and beyond here, showing outstanding clarity and vision as a filmmaker.
'In the Valley of Elah' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinOctober 11, 2007
Elah is familiar but sometimes familiar can still be an important thing.
'Death at a Funeral (2007)' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinAugust 29, 2007
I thought it was like a really awful sitcom, and if you've seen the state of sitcoms these days, you know that's pretty damn bad.
'Superbad' Movie Review (A-)Craig YounkinAugust 18, 2007
This is a movie you can watch and identify with every character, because in fact, you probably were or still are one of these characters.
'Stardust' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinAugust 13, 2007
Stardust is a fantasy that stays pretty much in the mundane.
'Rush Hour 3' Movie Review (D+)Craig YounkinAugust 11, 2007
Rush Hour 3 is a pretty dark mark on what was a promising franchise.
'The Bourne Ultimatum' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinAugust 4, 2007
Ultimatum is all about kicking ass and getting info, and even though the series really hasn't changed its storyline, the last word you can really use to describe it is boring.
'Order of the Phoenix' Movie Review (B)Craig YounkinJuly 16, 2007
I just wish they would stop cutting things out. As the movies get darker and more complex, they should be getting longer, not shorter.
'Transformers' Movie Review (C)Craig YounkinJuly 6, 2007
This is one of the most expensive-looking movies I've ever seen, but unfortunately, that does not translate to entertaining.
'Sicko' Movie Review (B+)Craig YounkinJuly 4, 2007
He manages to shed some light on a process that is not only in serious need of repair, but that is just a downright horror.

MPAA: PG-13

Craig YounkinJuly 2, 2007
This fourth installment of Die Hard is a fast-paced, rousing gem of an action movie.
'A Mighty Heart' Movie Review (D)Craig YounkinJune 19, 2007
It's not just boring, it's painfully, laboriously boring. It's awful, and almost unwatchable.
