You don't know how much it pains me to write anything about "Sex Drive," another teen sex farce that, as always, I didn't hear much demand for.

It would be easy to be cynical about "The Secret Life of Bees." And with all the honey in the film, it's tempting to craft any criticism around words like "sappy" and "sugary."

Movie Review:"Body of Lies" stars a couple of A-list marquee names and is directed by a renowned filmmaker and written by the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "The Departed." But even with this lineup, it can't help but reveal itself as a middlebrow international thriller.

Movie Review:What's the deal with all the fact-based TV movies Universal keeps dropping these days?

Movie Review:'When one loves someone, one doesn't have to know them well to be sure; one feels it."

Movie Review:There's a well-defined line between wholesome and hokey, especially when depicting the life of one of the 20th century's respected religious figures.

Review:"City of Ember" is new wine in a very old bottle, and a vintage that wasn't nearly given time to mature. The film adapts Jeanne Duprau's novel with visual flair and vague, clumsy storytelling.

Movie Review:Like a trompe l'oeil painting, "Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story" deftly positions its subject as both the savior of the Republican Party and the Antichrist of American politics.

Review:"I Served the King of England" is at once a semi-fantastical encapsulation of Czech history and a Chaplinesque fable of a hapless antihero swept along by fate and selfishly adapting to the whims of power and wealth.

Movie Review:I'm sure many in their teens and 20s will think "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" is just adorable. But I'm 32, and that adorable stuff doesn't win me over like it used to.

Movie Review:Bill Maher is preaching to the choir with "Religulous," a documentary that dissects organized religion, but he's doing it in his laceratingly funny, typically sardonic way.

Movie Review:"Beverly Hills Chihuahua" is an anthropomorphic adventure on a par with "Stuart Little" and "Charlotte's Web."

Movie Review:No sound lightens a moviegoer's heart more than pounding hoofbeats before the opening credits. A Western is about to begin, and, if everything goes right, nothing can be better than that.

Movie Review:'Blindness is a gift of the ugly," Julianne Moore observes in "Blindness," as a self-proclaimed "leader with vision," literally and figuratively. As the only character who can see, Moore makes for an unlikely and unwilling heroine.

While "Flash of Genius" seems like another story of little-guy perseverance, an inspiring movie about an average joe sticking it to the big, bad, mulitmillion-dollar man, you may end up wondering how the heck this TV-movie escaped from the TNT channel.

Movie Review:The problem with "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" is that the movie wants to be your friend and it doesn't want to alienate you.

For the next few paragraphs, I'm going to attempt to explain what I saw in "Eagle Eye," a movie I'm sure many will walk out of saying the same thing I did: "Yeah, that was awesome and all that, but what happened?"

OK, so "Nights in Rodanthe" is a chick flick; one with a stunning score and beautiful North Carolina scenery. Beyond the pretty places, it's still a weepy, romantic romp. For the guys, there's a snappy sports car and -- well, you get to make your girl happy for a breezy 90 minutes or so.

Is there anyone on planet Earth who can play sleazebags as effortlessly as Sam Rockwell?

While many a Hollywood production aims to show us what it's like "over there," and offer a "real" look at war, "The Lucky Ones" looks at the dark side of battle, those coming home -- back to reality and the stark realization that your country has moved on without you.

One of the funniest movies you might see this year also really stinks. "Kenny" could also very well be the "Citizen Kane" of portable toilet movies. Released in Australia in 2006, this little gem is just now circulating in the States and is a not-to-be missed, chuckle-a-minute, small miracle.

From the minute the opening credits roll on "Ghost Town," you can literally list all the films "Ghost Town" has consumed and will spit out at you.

Trust no one. Really, that's the unmistakable message of "Lakeview Terrace."

I gotta hand it to my colleague Godfrey Cheshire -- the man knows how to tell a story, especially when it's his own.

A foreboding variation on a quote by Tennessee Williams casts a shadow over the crackerjack new thriller "Transsiberian." Williams said that if he got rid of his demons, he would lose his angels.
