Crossing Over gets so wrapped up in its quest for topical resonance that it forgets some of the basic rules of narrative filmmaking. Writer-director Wayne Kramer shortchanges each of the storylines he interweaves into the loose limbed narrative by keeping them consistently focused on pounding home h...

Whether or not it's safe to go back (yeah, that time of year) is another issue entirely. Links go to trailers. The Reader a nd Slumdog Millionaire are taking their highly publicized Oscar ...

The one word—however made up it may be—we would have to use to describe the new film Crossing Over is Crash-tastic. Much like the 2004 film we have ridiculed over and over (and over) again, Crossing Over takes place in Los Angeles and features a giant ensemble cast tenuously linked toget...

I mean this is the nicest way possible, but what the hell has happened to Brendan Fraser? Let's all think back to the year 1998 when I was convinced Fraser was going to get the credit as an actor he so deserved after starring in Gods and Monsters . Then, when he took his spot as Indiana Jones' heir ...

You know, that Harrison Ford really kicks ass, doesn’t he? And I don’t mean in an “Indiana Jones” kind of way - I mean when great actors continue to make movies as they get older. Not that he’s old or anything - he’s only 66, for cripes sakes - but I’m just ...
