This probably isn't for anyone under 21—except me. For the most part I found it quite funny and well done. The two stars are pleasantly low-key and quite good actors. At any rate—funny stuff for the right audience.

A curiosity about Shakespeare is that even though there are hundreds of books about him, virtually nothing is actually known about the man. We know he was born. We know he had a wife and daughter. And that's about it. Shakespeare scholars are up in arms because this film makes the claim he didn't write any of the plays. That's an interesting what-if proposition for a mystery, but ultimately we'll never know. And, from my point of view, who cares. The plays are great no matter who wrote them.The movie even goes a step further, and portrays Shakespeare as a drunken lout who never learned to write his own name. There's no way this could be substantiated on an historical basis, either. So, all that to say, everybody's full of baloney—the scholars and the movie-makers.The film itself? You won't be bored.

My second favorite war film of the year (my favorite was Fury). Sniper is particularly good at depicting the ravages of combat on our troops.

My feeling is that moviegoers are going to like this one a lot more than the critics did. It's a goofy horror story, but aren't horror stories supposed to be goofy?

Stands a chance of becoming The Breakfast Club for the millennials. And I liked it a lot myself.

As you know, I was a big fan of The Devil's Rejects and I don't think anybody does horror as well as Rob Zombie. This is the best of the Halloween movies, especially before it starts becoming a little like the early Halloween movies in the last hour or so. But then again, have we ever been quite so scared?

Not a false move in a story about the Bobby Fischer/Boris Spassky chess matches. Never a dull moment and terrific performances.

There are some very positive things about this movie — terrific performances by Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe; a dramatic story filled with irony and action. It did raise some questions for me, however. What is the difference between homage to past gangster films, and plagiarism? Why include the statistic that 30% of combat troops in Vietnam were using hard drugs, when we know now that isn't the case? Is it fair to suggest that cops and criminals are merely different sides of the same coin?

I was worried by the trailers but this is actually a very fresh and contemporary and most welcome addition to the Spiderman series.

I absolutely positively loved the first half of this move, found the second half a little repetitive, but it's still a terrific musical. The young actress they found to pay the lead role is fabulous in her first part.

Mel Gibson really knows how to tell a powerful story and Andrew Garfield does a terrific job as Desmond Doss, pacifist war hero.

Definitely different, playful, cheeky, watchable. Not the strongest storyline or special effects.

Here's hoping Clint Eastwood keeps directing movies for the next twenty years, and acting in some of them, too. His latest is probably my favorite—a terrific story about bigotry that is honest, tragic, and frequently very funny.

It may be a little early to tell this story—but the filmmakers did an excellent job of respectfully treating a very difficult few days for most Americans.

My favorite movie so far this year. A very large, very charming white girl from Jersey wants to be a rap star. Funny, sweet, real.

This is one of those movies that's kinda funny, kinda touching, and that you kinda like. Kristen Stewart continues to look like a real star.

Take note Hollywood: the American soldiers portrayed here protect your right to order something veggie-oriented and a little frou-frou at Ivy and to drive smart cars and Bentleys. And I'm no red-meat yahoo, either. An exciting movie that has its heart in the right place.

I liked this thriller a lot. As is (too) often the case, the critics are out of step. The general public is a whole lot smarter than the eggheads.

Recently Stephen King commented that he doesn't have any respect for me. Doesn't make too much sense-I'm a good dad, a nice husband-my only crime is I've sold millions of books. As far as 1408 goes, what can I say, I liked it-the first third is especially fine. I'm a John Cusack fan and, in terms of the books anyway, a Stephen King fan, too.

Terrific acting—and a very good story—but it will probably depress the hell out of you.

Katherine Heigl is establishing herself as one of the finest comedians around and she elevates this pleasant bit of fluff, as does James Marsden. I liked it; Sue loved it.

It's The Hangover for the 25-and-under set. And me.

It is close to heartbreaking that millions of parents will take their families to The Fate of the Furious and The Smurfs, and miss this smart, honest, emotional, nearly-flawless story about what it means to raise our kids as well as we possibly can.

Has some of the best dialog in a movie this year. I hadn't seen that much of Rickie Gervais, but I'll be sure to catch more of him in the future. Net-net – a funny movie with a bad title.
