Zaki's Review: Men in Black III

Zaki Hasan | Posted 05.25.2012

More than anything, Men in Black III demonstrates precisely why Will Smith has become one of the world's preeminent box office draws in the time since he first suited up for this series.

The Artist Vs. The Critic

Artists writing to newspapers to complain about reviews is hardly a new phenomenon. However, in my experience, it's an impotent gesture at best and a counterproductive one at worst.

Jonathan Handel | Posted 05.11.2012

Jonathan Handel

This tablet is a great entry into the Android world at an aggressive price. Simply put, it rocks, especially for social apps, productivity apps, ebooks (use the free Kindle app, for instance) and music.

A Chef Among Chefs

I've been around the New York restaurant scene for more than 30 years and few names come up with as much respect and affection as that of Floyd Cardoz. I couldn't believe I never met him until I went to North End Grill a few days ago to celebrate the birthday of a great friend.

Looking closely at the advert, I momentarily thought that I was watching a mini romantic comedy (I will not be surprised if there is a sequel).

Review: War Horse Is Pure, Unapologetic Old-School Melodrama

Scott Mendelson | Posted 02.22.2012

Scott Mendelson

More than any other movie since Peter Jackson's King Kong, Steven Spielberg's War Horse operates as a textbook example of what "going to the movies" is supposed to mean.

Lidia's Italy in America

Rozanne Gold | Posted 02.20.2012

Rozanne Gold

While you'd think there's nothing left to say about Italian-American food, nugget after nugget of good food and delectable ideas pop out of the recipes and stories lovingly told by Lidia and her daughter.

Kris LoPresto

Charlie Brown's little Christmas tree and all your favorite childhood characters come to life in Pig Brooch's production of The Charlie Brown Christmas Special. The folks at Pig Brooch get all of the pacing, dancing and mannerisms down flawlessly.

One DVD you probably won't see by the fags in Tesco Express however, is Richard Herring's Christ on a Bike - The Second Coming, his excellent show about his relationship with Christianity.

Review: The Muppets Is a Touching and Hilarious Tribute to the Iconic Characters

Scott Mendelson | Posted 01.18.2012

Scott Mendelson

Come what may, The Muppets, if need be, exists as a triumphant last hurrah and/or fitting finale to a entertainment property that never really got its 'one last show'.

Review: A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas 3D

Scott Mendelson | Posted 01.07.2012

Scott Mendelson

A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas is not as aggressively bad as the first sequel, but mere mediocrity is not something to aspire to.

Patient Reviews: Putting Doctors On The Examining Table

Mark Britton | Posted 11.24.2011

Mark Britton

Why do we seek out the reviews of our consuming brethren? Because such reviews are a form of "word of mouth." We like to know what others -- especially groups of others -- think about prospective products and services.

Review: Red State

Scott Mendelson | Posted 11.22.2011

Scott Mendelson

If Kevin Smith is serious about leaving behind the world of Jay and Silent Bob, then Red State is a troubling sign that the man behind View Askew may have no place else to go.

Review: Moneyball

Scott Mendelson | Posted 11.21.2011

Scott Mendelson

Moneyball is undoubtedly a success. It's a darn good movie about an interesting subject that honors its subject matter without inflating its importance. It's not a grand-slam home-run hitter, but it does reliably get on base.

Is 'The Night Circus' The Next 'Harry Potter'?

Zoë Triska | Posted 11.13.2011

Zoë Triska

So should you read Erin Morgenstern's debut novel, "The Night Circus?" The short answer is, "Yes." The book is both engaging and magical, entrancing the reader every step of the way. Even the first three sentences of the novel, as seen above, transport the reader to another place.

Voca People: Music from a Foreign Land

Danny Groner | Posted 11.07.2011

Danny Groner

From the bit I'd read about the unique a capella show Voca People, I hoped that it would be a night to remember. Yet, while the music and mischief of the show was entertaining, it fell short of being an a capella sensation.

Review: Warrior

Scott Mendelson | Posted 11.03.2011

Scott Mendelson

Warrior is, above all, an emotionally engaging and uncommonly thoughtful family drama. It rises above most in its genre by refusing to pit 'good' against 'evil' and by refusing to pander to our lowest emotional denominator.

It's tough to crack down on an album that's guaranteed from its conception to get vast amounts of unmitigated praise and hype, but this time the self-proclaimed royalty is just getting lazy.
