Green Zone Might Make You See Red
(Friday, March 12, 2010)
Before Green Zone, Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon teamed for two of the Jason Bourne films to much better effect. Although the third Bourne film revolved around issues, its main concern was a character. Green Zone is about an issue—the Iraq War—rather than about its characters.

(Friday, March 05, 2010)

Cop Out Wears Its Juvenile Humor Like a Badge of Honor
(Friday, February 26, 2010)
In what's supposed to be a cheeky homage to '80s crime-fighting fare like Beverly Hills Cop, Lethal Weapon and of course, Die Hard, Cop Out is nothing more than a 107-minute string of bad jokes without the benefit of a punch line.
