Movie Review: âTakersâ
Frankly My Dear - Orlando SentinelThere's a shootout in “Takers” that reaches far beyond the movie's generic heist picture storyline and generic one-note performances. It's set in a hotel suite, and it is a symphony of shotgun shells, a tarantella of Tech 9s — bullets.... -
This week: Jason Derulo, Shakira on âDancing With the Starsâ; Broadway at the White House; âThe Talkâ debuts

Movie Review: For Colored Girls
Frankly My Dear - Orlando SentinelIt's dated, theatrical and over-the-top. In the 35 years since the play's premiere, it still doesn't cut black men a lot of slack. But Tyler Perry's film adaptation of Ntozoke Shange's legendary 1970s play, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered... -

Movie review: 'November'
Special to the Tribune2 stars (out of four) Okay, let's get it over with: Courteney Coxa very seriously de-prettified, de-glamorized, de-"Friends"-ified, almost mousy Courteney Coxacquits herself quite well in "November," Greg Harrison's atmospheric psycho-thriller. If...Tags: Nora Dunn, Robert Rodriguez, Courteney Cox, Crime, Law and Justice, Michelangelo Antonioni

'November'
Times Staff Writer"November" is not the sleek lady-in-distress thriller that its trailers suggest. More of a psychological mystery, it gets underway with a well-staged opening sequence as a young man (James Le Gros) stops at a corner market in Los Angeles one evening to...Tags: Foods and Beverages, Lifestyle and Leisure, Thriller (genre), Cinema Industry, Nora Dunn

'Never Die Alone'

As it is, this thrill-free thriller runs just 82 blue minutes, including opening and closing credits. Yet despite the...Tags: James Cagney, Bloodline (movie), Drug Trafficking, Crime, Law and Justice, Miles Davis
