If You Think Kicks to the Crotch Are Funny, 'Your Highness' is For Younew
There is no point to this unforgivable excuse for a comedy, except, obviously, for Danny McBride to make his buddies (director Green, co-star James Franco) chortle over pot jokes and at least pretend to get himself laid.

Hurried 'Jane Eyre' Adaptation Still Shinesnew
Charlotte Bronte's 19th-century masterpiece, Jane Eyre, has already been filmed nearly 20 times for screens big and small, so what more can possibly be said about this well-worn gothic romance? Not much, apparently, but at least director Cary Fukunaga's version is superfluously good -- an elegant, classicist picture of quality with just enough sinister gloom darkening its romantic edges.

"Battle: Los Angeles" Review Causes a Commenting Stirnew
Why are hostile aliens from outer space so attracted to Los Angeles? They blew the fuck out of California in last year’s Skyline, and in Battle: Los Angeles we really don’t even get a reason for their invasion (it may have something to do with water).
