  • The Rental,  Radioactive

    The Rental, Radioactive

  • Review: Irresistible, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga and Disclosure

    Jon Stewart’s “Irresistible” is flat out disappointing, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga” might be a good background watch, and “Disclosure” should be mandatory viewing. For someone so sharp on television for so many years, Jon Stewart bumbles translating his humor and wit to the big screen in “Irresistible.” Steve Carell, Rose Byrne,…

  • Review: Artemis Fowl, 7500, and Babyteeth

    “Artemis Fowl” is foul, “7500” is stuck in the past, and “Babyteeth” will rattle you.
