Review
'Public Enemies'

‘Public Enemies’

2.0 Stars  Why is this movie one of the signal disappointments of the year? You have to go back to the basics: “Public Enemies’’ has everything going for it except a reason and a script.

Review
'Ice Age'

‘Ice Age’

2.0 Stars  The screenwriters of this third installment in the series offer up a stale and sketchy premise. The film has some cool dinos, but few roars of laughter.
Review
'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'

'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen'

1.5 Stars  Michael Bay's film is - there’s no polite way to say this - 2 1/2 hours of tumescence disguised as a motion picture.
Review
'My Sister's Keeper'

‘My Sister’s Keeper’

2.0 Stars  The movie, starring Cameron Diaz and Sofia Vassilieva, radically alters Jodi Picoult's novel, but not the need for hankies.
Review
'Whatever Works'

‘Whatever Works’

2.0 Stars  Larry David plays a cynical genius in “Whatever Works,’’ based on a script Woody Allen wrote for Zero Mostel three decades ago.
Review
'Cheri'

‘Cheri’

3.0 Stars  Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend star in director Stephen Frears's period piece, a meditation on age and beauty.
Review
'Burma'

'Burma VJ'

3.5 Stars  The documentary is from the Dutch filmmaker Anders Ostergaard, but its subjects are the journalists of the Democratic Voice of Burma.
Review
'Tetro'

'Tetro'

3.0 Stars  Director Francis Ford Coppola injects the film, a family melodrama about the mostly housebound reunion of two estranged brothers, with charm.
