HuffPost Review - Trick 'R Treat (2009)

Scott Mendelson | Posted 10.10.2009 | Entertainment

Trick 'R Treat is a stunningly lifeless and seemingly aimless would-be horror comedy. It is a muted and rushed affair, seemingly edited without discipline and constructed without purpose.

Mitchell Joel's Six Pixels of Separation is written as the story of a business owner and entrepreneur, and not as a pundit.

The film resembles what adventures you might create if you took your action figure playsets and gave them a $175 million budget to work with. And yes, I mean that as a compliment.

By any normal standard, this is a wonderfully involving and entertaining tent pole popcorn entertainment. But this is still the weakest Harry Potter film of the series.

The singer's voice has matured significantly -- along with his haircut and wardrobe; this time out, Maxwell has recast himself as a grown-up with all its musical and lyrical upgrades.

I have a like/hate relationship with Russell Brand's comedy. I thought the comedian stole the show in last year's painfully underrated comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but found him an utterly bore when he hosted the VMAs.

Drag Me to Hell is a throwback to a time, in the mid-1980s, when horror films were fun first and scary second, it's a trashy B-movie blast.

Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus is the finest monster movie since the original Jurassic Park, and probably the out and out scariest movie since Frailty.

Despite fine acting, several moments of potent drama, solid production values, and high ambitions, Star Trek comes off as a Star Trek for Dummies variation on the fabled story.

State of Play is the sort of movie that "they just don't make anymore." Despite its attempts to include newfangled ideas regarding journalism, it is a refreshingly old-fashioned star-driven thriller.

In the end, it's is a small story, well-told by actors who rise above the sometimes stock plot mechanics. It's also worth seeing for John Malkovich's wonderfully atypical performance.

The tragic, violent true-life tale that concerns Waltz with Bashir is rendered even more powerful in animated form than it would likely have in live-action.

It's best movie you could expect for a remake of Dog Day Afternoon with Van Damme as himself: saggy, unwieldy, but funny, captivating, and a welcome return to celebrity for my favorite C-list star.
