Alice in Wonderland (C)

It would seem like all the things were in place for “Alice in Wonderland” to be a lot of fun.

The film features a very creative director (Tim Burton) working with a talented cast (including Johnny Depp), adapting a story that plays to both Burton and Depp’s strengths.

Sadly, the promise is never fully realized n the film has more fizzle than sizzle.

The Bounty Hunter (F)

The latest romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler is a lifeless and humorless endeavor that manages to suck all the life out of anyone unfortunate enough to watch this dreck. Here’s a comedy that manages to deliver not even one chuckle and is full of unlikable characters put in uncomfortable situations.

Clash of the Titans (C-)

This update of the semi-popular 1981 fantasy adventure lacks the cheesy charm of the original n resulting in a film that is just a loud, silly bore.

Cop Out (D)

This Kevin Smith buddy comedy about a pair of bumbling cops (Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan) who set out to locate a stolen baseball card can’t decide if it wants to be a parody of movies like “48 Hours” or a film that wants to be just like it. There are some funny moments, but not enough to overcome a dreadful script.

The Crazies (C)

This remake of a George Romero thriller about a small Iowa town suddenly plagued by a mysterious toxin that contaminates its water supply plays all of its cards early n leaving a film that tends to get stuck in motion for most of the 90 minutes.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid (C)

This adaptation of a the popular children’s novels has some moments of humor, but not enough to sustain interest for anyone over of the age of 10.

The Ghost Writer (B+)

Writer/director Roman Polanski’s latest has a lot of layers, which unfold in a methodical manner to allow the audience to soak in all the details. This is a grown-up talky thriller that doesn’t really have tricks up its sleeve designed to distract the audience from any of the film’s flaws or shortcomings.

The Green Zone (C-)

The latest political thriller from Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass is a dull disappointment, that fails to live up to the lofty bar the duo establish in their “Bourne” films.

Hot Tub Time Machine (B+)

With ads seemingly running during every television program imaginable, the new comedy “Hot Tub Time Machine” has aggressively marketed itself as the must-see comedy of the spring.

Fortunately, the film lives up to the hype, offering a clever script and plenty of below-the-belt laughs that make “Hot Tub” one of the funniest films in recent memory.

How to Train Your Dragon (B)

Dreamworks latest animated fare, about a hapless young Viking who becomes the unlikely owner of a dragon, has just enough charm for all ages n earning extra points for its solid use of 3-D technology to enhance the film’s visual experience.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians (C)

This adaptation of a popular children’s book wants to be the next “Harry Potter,” but lacks the creativity and confidence to pull off the feet.

I liked some of the interactions with Gods of Greek mythology, but the film has too many moments where it can’t decide if it wants to cater to a younger audience or go for a broader demographic.

She’s Out of My League (B-)

A Judd Apatow-esque comedy about an average Joe who becomes romantically involved with the perfect woman features just enough laughs to make you forget the movie really doesn’t have much of a point or focus.

Shutter Island (C-)

With films such as “Raging Bull,” “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas” and “The Departed,” director Martin Scorsese has developed a resume full of so many great achievements that it’s hard to think he’s capable of having a misfire.

But that proves to be the case with his latest film, “Shutter Island,” a rather slow and predictable thriller that not even the great Scorsese can salvage, despite his best efforts.

Why Did I Get Married Too (D)

The latest from Tyler Perry is an unneeded sequel to perhaps his best film to date. The whole thing feels like a two-hour trip to couples therapy with over dramatic situations and characters lacking any sort of realistic motivations.
