M. Night Shyamalan (The Last Airbender) has done it again. Only this time, he wasn’t even in the director’s chair.

Devil, directed by John Erick Dowdle and written by Brian Nelson, is based on a story by Shyamalan, who also serves as the film’s producer. Yet despite his indirect involvement with the film’s production, the movie has Shyamalan all over it – and not in a good way.

Richard Eyre’s The Other Man is one of those infuriating films that starts out with an engaging premise but fails to deliver on any of its promises.

Liam Neeson (Taken, The A-Team) stars as Peter, a successful software developer. He is happily married to Lisa (Laura Linney) and they have one grown daughter. When Lisa seemingly disappears, Peter is devastated to discover that she has been [...]

Ladies and gents, the first sure-fire awards contender of 2010 has landed! It’s called Killers and it’s going to take the Golden Raspberries by storm.

If you thought the similarly themed Knight and Day was bad, wait till you see this vacuous spy comedy from The Ugly Truth director Robert Luketic. Killers sees Luketic take a desperate swing at genre after genre in a hope he might eventually strike it lucky, but he does so with the dexterity of a blind swordsman suffering from an inner-ear infection.

I don’t think it was particularly unreasonable of me to assume that in Clash of the Titans – a remake of the 1981 stop-motion epic that has aged about as well as everything from the 80s – there was going to be a few instances where Titans would, in fact, clash. It turns out, however, I was expecting too much; not once does the film live up to its title. And the disappointments don’t end there.

After weeks and weeks of sordid speculation by all major celebrity glossies, gossipists the world over can now contain themselves with the knowledge that any steamy romance between Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston was either non existent or just not at all hot. I say this to you now in review of the couple’s efforts in their new film The Bounty Hunter, the latest rom-com to fall off the Hollywood production line and be shot into the air by marketing cannons that promised hilarity and hot action. Unfortunately for Aniston and Butler, their onscreen chemistry together is about as romantically inciting and as charismatic as the last two slices of white bread, falling over each other at the bottom of the plastic bag – stale, tasteless and definitely worse for you than it looks. On first thought, their star power seems like a big enough draw-card for a trip to the movies but proves to be the only bankable aspect of this production.

Unlike its nasty sibling revenge, justice is not a dish best served cold. It’s better served with nuance, decorum and a dash of smarts. Now try telling that to screenwriter Kurt Wimmer and director F. Gary Gray of Law Abiding Citizen.

Rather than not pretending it’s ultra-violent revenge thriller, Citizen smugly believes that it’s smarter than your average Steven Segal B-movie and is more inclined to consider itself a sharp legal thriller, à la The Devil’s Advocate. Of course, that’s complete hogwash; this is nothing more than a trashy Punisher sequel dressed in a tailored suit.
