'American Gigolo' gets a modern makeover, but this call isn't worth answering

4 years ago
Once you get past the familiar strains of Blondie's "Call Me" over the opening credits, the message from "American Gigolo" isn't worth answering. It is, rather, a misguided and distasteful reboot, seeking to tease the movie's premise into a larger mystery. Jon Bernthal struts his stuff as the escort trying to get his laugh back, but this '80s artifact should have been left in the time capsule.

'Pinocchio' transforms the little puppet made of wood

4 years ago
Even taking it as a given that Disney's animated classics will all receive live-action makeovers eventually, "Pinocchio" feels like an unnecessary exercise -- a movie so flat that it never sparks to life, and barely feels as if it's making the leap into a different medium. Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis' reunion should be a source of curiosity, but their little puppet made of wood is in a movie that's not so good.
