Jay Bobbin's Movie Reviews

'War Zone' punishing on audiences   
If you want to mark the season with a couple of hours of punches and explosions, with very little story attached, this is the way to go...
 
'Cadillac Records' hits the right notes   
It may not top the movie charts in creative terms, but "Cadillac Records" is still worth a spin..
 
"Four Christmases" doesn't multiply holiday cheer   
One Christmas gathering can be trying enough for some people, much less four ...so they won't envy Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon...
 
"Australia" is too big for it's own good   
"Transporter" takes a trip we've seen before   
'Twilight' feels similar to other vampire tales   
'Bolt' is a delight for audiences   
'Quantum' amps up action, lacks emotion
