Gangster Squad proves that an all-star cast and flashy direction aren’t enough for what is essentially an unnecessary and ultimately bland upgrade of The Untouchables. Featuring the likes of Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Robert Patrick, Michael Peña and Giovanni Ribisi, Gangster Squad is moderately entertaining on occasion but instantly forgettable.

Ten years and two months after Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man dominated theaters and advanced the comic book movie genre to a whole new level, the web slinger is back, restarting from scratch with a new origin story that is strangely reminiscent of the previous origin story. Cursed by its own lack of originality, The Amazing Spider-Man struggles mightily to shed the not-so-distant memory of its predecessors, but deep down there is a well done movie that sets the stage for some highly charged sequels.

It’s a movie born and raised to be an Oscar contender, an accessible, lighthearted picture about a serious issue. It’s this year’s Blind Side, good-hearted and purposeful, harmless while entertaining. It’s also a box office hit, and Oscar voters love box office hits.

I’m not good with women. For whatever reason, I didn’t get that gene that allows me to undress a scorching hot Hollywood actress with a line of dialogue and a Ryan Gosling squint.
