Movie review: 'This is the End' is the last word in apocalyptic comedy
The lads of Hollywood's "Pot Pack" get together for a riotous riff on The Rapture in "This is the End," an often hilarious/generally irreverent comedy about the biblical apocalypse as seen through the windows of a movie star's mansion.

Movie review: 'Internship' is feel-good comedy of the summer
There's an unadulterated joy in the re-teaming of those fast-talking "Wedding Crashers" Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, a wholesome novelty in their playing laid-off salesmen forced to do what millions of Americans have had to do in the past six years - reinvent themselves.

Movie review: "Now You See Me" is a plot-heavy, silly movie pulled out of a hat
The razzle dazzles but the smoke never quite hides the mirrors in "Now You See Me," a new magicians' heist picture that demonstrates, once again, how tough it is to make "magic" work as a movie subject.

Movie review: It's easy to sleep off this 'Hangover'
Slow, sentimental and somewhat sedated, the third "Hangover" movie isn't so much exhausted of outrageous "Oh no, they DIDN'T!" ideas as it is spent of energy. And they knew it, too. The only raunchy moment is stuffed into the closing credits, a "we forgot to do that" afterthought.
