FilmCritic:
Charlie St. Cloud is a noble, good-natured mess of a movie. Its heart always seems to be in the right place. Its brain, unfortunately, is always somewhere else.
Charlie marks the next step in Zac Efron's evolution, the latest attempt to prove that the handsome and effortlessly magnetic young actor can survive outside of the effervescent ensembles he led through three High School Musical films and the winning Hairspray remake. Last year's 17 Again demonstrated Efron's decent comedic chops. Charlie -- helmed by 17 Again director Burr Steers -- is meant to show the actor's sentimental side, as well as his considerable dramatic range.
Resident Evil is one of the most successful video game to movie adaptations ever, spawning an entire series. Using IMDb ratings, we find the best one.
Sometimes a movie stinks so bad upon its release that directors have a real difficult time escaping it, so much so they end up in director's jail.
"Parthenope" is made for those who use the word cinema as it seeks out to appear like a modern adaptation of a literary classic.
