Movie Review

Is this it?
The Michael Jackson concert film will overjoy big fans, says reviewer Steve Ouellette, but isn't much worth the time of anyone else.

  • 'Paranormal Activity' recalls 'Blair Witch' in style
    Oren Peli uses a hand-held camera, unknown actors and scary things that are largely unseen, says reviewer Steve Ouellette. This time, however, instead of a creepy forest, the action all takes place in a claustrophobic suburban house.

  • 'Where the Wild Things Are' innovative, unique
    The beloved Maurice Sendak children's tale comes to life in a very good and boisterous adaptation, says movie reviewer Steve Ouellette.

  • 'Zombieland' rises up over any other zombie comedy
    One awesome and surprising mid-movie cameo is worth the price of admission all by itself, says reviewer Steve Ouellette.

  • 'Surrogates': No life of its own
    The film has the glimmer of a fascinating idea, says reviewer Steve Ouellette, but the story and the execution are far too flawed.

  • 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs': Laughs throughout
    You can almost taste the various weather fronts in the animated movie, says reviewer Steve Ouellette, from a cheeseburger storm to a blizzard of ice cream to a hail of juicy steaks.

  • '9' not for age 9 and under
    Produced by Time Burton, the animated post-apocalyptic film doesn't have the depth or intrigue of his stop-motion animation favorites such as "James and the Giant Peach," "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Corpse Bride," says reviewer Steve Ouellette.

  • "Extract": No "Office Space"
    The Mike Judge film is fairly original, reasonably intelligent and passably amusing comedy — with an excellent cast — but it doesn't touch the same nerves that "Office Space" tickled, and it doesn't contain near as many laughs, says reviewer Steve Ouellette.

  • 'Taking' makes mess of Woodstock
    The based-on-true-life film "Taking Woodstock" doesn't do the event justice in any way, says Movie Reviewer Steve Ouellette.

  • 'Inglourious Basterds': daring, completely unique and fabulously entertaining
    Brad Pitt has never been funnier, reviewer Steve Ouellette says, and Austrian character actor Christoph Waltz as Col. Hans Landa should be a shoo-in for a Best Supporting Actor nomination.
