  1. 'This is the End' is rude, crude -- and funny ★★★ 1/2

    The "Hangover" movies, even the third one no one defends, barely qualify as comedies in the traditional sense. They're more like grimy action pictures with a joke or two tossed in to avoid the charge of false labeling. Their ugliness of spirit compounds a disinterest in verbal jokes and a reliance on brutality (which isn't the same as artfully violent slapstick), and nobody involved seems to care about making the talk snappy or keeping a scene moving forward. Whatever. They're hits. The public hath spoken, even as the public groweth weary.

  2. Judd Apatow misses chance to go deeper with 'This Is 40' ★★ 1/2

    More like "This Is Whiny," "This Is 40" has its share of clever, zingy material, proving that writer-director Judd Apatow has lost none of his ability to land a punch line with the right, unexpected turn of phrase. "My boobs are just ... gone," bemoans Debbie, played by Leslie Mann, comparing hers with the newer models belonging to her boutique employee, played by Megan Fox. Then comes the second line, building smartly on the setup: "They didn't even say goodbye."

  5. Film review: '50/50' is just so-so

    In theory, "50/50" is a film about the bright humor that can be found in the darkest situations.
    Special to The Herald-Mail
    In theory, "50/50" is a film about the bright humor that can be found in the darkest situations. The main character is diagnosed with cancer, and suddenly nothing in the world makes sense. He now sees everything differently and the people around him see...
