Soul Surfer (2011) 45% 2.5/4 EDIT “Hamilton's life is already uplifting; there's no need to add more melodrama.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 7, 2011 Full Review Restrepo (2010) 97% 3.5/4 EDIT “An unvarnished and unwavering look at 21st-century combat.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 19, 2010 Full Review The Cove (2009) 95% 3.5/4 EDIT “It turns out that wasn't a smile on Flipper's face.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 8, 2009 Full Review The Tale of Despereaux (2008) 56% 3/4 EDIT “It's charming, with gorgeous, painterly animation and a heartfelt story.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 19, 2008 Full Review Bloodline (2008) 36% 1.5/4 EDIT “Tedious.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 10, 2008 Full Review Eagle Eye (2008) 27% 3/4 EDIT “Eagle Eye skillfully taps into post-Sept. 11 paranoia -- a briskly paced thriller that blinks at times but mostly keeps its focus.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 25, 2008 Full Review Man on Wire (2008) 100% 3/4 EDIT “Petit is such an ebullient guy it's hard not to get sucked into his high-wire antics.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 11, 2008 Full Review Hell Ride (2008) 10% 2/4 EDIT “Leaves little time for plot but plenty of scenes of biker gangs tooling down desert roads, with close-ups of exhaust pipes, handlebars and black leather jackets.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Aug 8, 2008 Full Review Meet Dave (2008) 20% 1/4 EDIT “How bombs like Meet Dave get the green light in Hollywood is a mystery.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jul 11, 2008 Full Review Strength and Honor (2008) 6% 1.5/4 EDIT “In addition to having a lame script, Strength and Honor is saddled with characters that are not to be believed.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Dec 6, 2007 Full Review King Corn (2007) 96% 3.5/4 EDIT “Engaging and illuminating.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 16, 2007 Full Review Jimmy Carter: Man From Plains (2007) 80% 3/4 EDIT “Jimmy Carter Man From Plains shows a relatively unvarnished portrait of a man who's not afraid to take on his critics.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 8, 2007 Full Review Raising Flagg (2006) 23% 2/4 EDIT “Crusty characters, a bluegrass soundtrack and a dysfunctional family that could exist only in the minds of Hollywood screenwriters make this film more precious than real -- or funny.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 4, 2007 Full Review In the Shadow of the Moon (2006) 95% 4/4 EDIT “A fascinating, funny and moving documentary -- possibly the best screen exploration ever of the Apollo program.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 27, 2007 Full Review Shoot 'Em Up (2007) 67% 1.5/4 EDIT “As for a plot, the film is too busy piling up dead bodies to have much of one. And, with dialogue consisting almost entirely of movie poster tag lines, Shoot 'Em Up shoots blanks.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 7, 2007 Full Review Lucky You (2007) 28% 2/4 EDIT “It's when the movie veers away from the green felt that Lucky You slows interminably, and you're left wishing that the characters would just shuffle up and deal.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel May 4, 2007 Full Review Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience (2007) 90% 4/4 EDIT “They're stories of war that resonate with anyone who has ever been in a war zone, and they illustrate beautifully for those who have not seen battle, just what combat can do to a person's soul.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 3, 2007 Full Review The Ultimate Gift (2006) 32% 1.5/4 EDIT “The movie's heart is in the right place. It's just that the route it travels to get there is so dull and unsurprising that you just want the trip to be over with.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Mar 9, 2007 Full Review Amazing Grace (2006) 68% 3/4 EDIT “The film ultimately tells a powerful and little-known historical tale.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 23, 2007 Full Review Norbit (2007) 9% 2.5/4 EDIT “An uneven comedy about a milquetoast named Norbit who marries Rasputia, a woman so large she'd start a fire if she wore corduroy pants.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Feb 8, 2007 Full Review Arthur and the Invisibles (2006) 21% 2.5/4 EDIT “It might have been just another humdrum children's film if not for Highmore, who brings the same charm he did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Finding Neverland to this fun movie.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Jan 12, 2007 Full Review Turistas (2006) 19% 1/4 EDIT “Turistas has better production values than most Hollywood pretty-people-in-peril movies. But even beautiful scenery can't gussy up this flat film.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Nov 30, 2006 Full Review Man of the Year (2006) 22% 2/4 EDIT “Man of the Year is merely a Robin Williams stand-up routine wrapped in a limp script.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Oct 12, 2006 Full Review The Black Dahlia (2006) 31% 2.5/4 EDIT “Not quite as good as the film made from another Ellroy novel, L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia is a stylish noir in the same vein, with rat-a-tat-tat hipster dialogue, tough guys, hoods, dirty cops, gangsters and molls.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Sep 14, 2006 Full Review Scary Movie 4 (2006) 34% 1.5/4 EDIT “Scary Movie 4 piles on the gags rat-a-tat-tat style. Like clowns throwing cream pies, some hit their mark. Many miss.” – Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Apr 13, 2006 Full Review
