'Baby Mama' Drama
Great performances by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey in 'Baby Mama' are dwarfed by a plot that is only disappointingly OK.
Predictable Patrick Dempsey
Forced dialogue, wildly predictable plot and average performances make "Made of Honor" worthy of only one lone frybread. And that's being generous.
Escapist Entertainment
Who would have ever thought that the guys who starred in the ridiculous-sounding movie about White Castle would bring laughs amid political and social undertones in 'Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay'?
'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Unforgettable
Judd Apatow scores again in a movie that has been number one for two weeks. "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" pushes the envelope but is still just shy of the inappropriate mark -— just like 'Superbad.'
Personalizing a Political Controversy
'Under the Same Moon' brings to the screen the humanity behind the immigration issue. It gave our reznet reviewer a greater appreciation for her own immigrant mother.
'21' and 'Leatherheads' Are Good Bets
Two movies in theaters right now give moviegoers justifiable cause to yell 'winner, winner, chicken dinner!' and 'touchdown!'
Flop of Mammoth Proportions
A movie like '10,000 BC' hasn't come around in a long time. Not because we haven't seen a movie about pre-history, no. It has been a long time since I've seen a movie so unredeemable.
A Cut-Throat Beheading Movie
Natalie Portman has proven herself time and time again on screen. Now she can add 'The Other Boleyn Girl' to her accolades as she brilliantly plays the Queen of England in an enthralling tale of deception and betrayal.
'Vantage Point' Disappoints, 'Be Kind Rewind' Worth a Second Look
“Vantage Point's” illogical ending ruins an otherwise good movie. “Be Kind Rewind,” starring Jack Black and Mos Def, is surprisingly clever and witty.
There Will Be Gore
Disturbing characters, a sadistically humorous plot and gratuitous gore all successfully collide in "There Will Be Blood," starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
Most views in the last week:
- Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)
- A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.
- Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.
- Here's how our petite, 5-foot-4 Navajo reporter managed to elbow her way through a mob of crazed sports journalists and ask the Super Bowl superstar what he knows about Indian people. And as for that football player who looked down her blouse ...
- Floyd Red Crow Westerman's death has left a void in Indian Country and a burden Native people must find a way to shoulder in his absence.
