The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest | MOVIE REVIEW
With all the buzz around David Fincher's upcoming American take on Stieg Larsson's Swedish phenom, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, you might forget the Swedes themselves have filmed all three parts of the late Larsson's bestselling trilogy, including Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl ...
October 28, 2010 2:00 P.M. EDTWelcome to the Rileys | MOVIE REVIEW
Would you believe Kristen Stewart as an underage New Orleans stripper who hooks on the side? Or James Gandolfini as a married Indiana plumbing salesman who'd rather adopt her than screw her? Then Welcome to the Rileys may reach you in ways it never reached me. The Twelve Must-See Fall ...
October 28, 2010 1:55 P.M. EDTParanormal Activity 2 | MOVIE REVIEW
We've seen it all before. Just last year, in fact, in the first Paranormal Activity. But, hey, people Trick or Treat every October, so why not see the same movie with slightly better production values? The first PA cost $15,000, real chump change. This one set Paramount back $3 million. ...
October 22, 2010 4:40 P.M. EDTJackass 3D | MOVIE REVIEW
Picture this: a fart-powered paper party whistle sticking out of a guy's bare ass and aimed straight at you. That's 3D, baby. James Cameron never had the balls to try that in Avatar. And the Na'vi could only wish they invented "The Poo Cocktail Supreme," in which Steve-O is strapped ...
October 14, 2010 2:56 P.M. EDTConviction | MOVIE REVIEW
Sam Rockwell has yet to find a movie as good as he is (Moon comes closest). He's still looking. Conviction sweetens the true story it's based on, and director Tony Goldwyn dutifully connects the dots in Pam Gray's screenplay. The Twelve Must-See Fall Movies: Peter Travers runs down a golden ...
October 14, 2010 2:50 P.M. EDTHereafter | MOVIE REVIEW
In more than half a century of making movies, Clint Eastwood, 80, has sent many a varmint to his maker. Hereafter is the first time he's showed any curiosity about what lies on the other side. It's typical of Eastwood's mastery as a director that his approach to the topic ...
October 14, 2010 2:45 P.M. EDTCarlos | MOVIE REVIEW
Played by the brilliant Edgar Ramírez, Carlos, known as "Carlos the Jackal," is a Venezuelan terrorist now serving a life sentence in France for a reign of terror he began in the 1970s. Directed by Olivier Assayas (Summer Hours), the movie crawls hypnotically into the skin of this global assassin ...
October 14, 2010 2:40 P.M. EDTSecretariat | MOVIE REVIEW
If it's hip to be square, then this racehorse movie is the ultimate in cornball cool. In telling the true tale of Secretariat, the chestnut stallion who, in 1973, became the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years (he won the Belmont Stakes by a record-shattering 31 lengths), director Randall ...
October 7, 2010 2:45 P.M. EDTNowhere Boy | MOVIE REVIEW
No shattering revelations dot this look at the pre-Beatles John Lennon growing up in working-class Liverpool. What conceptual-artist-turned-director Sam Taylor-Wood vividly creates, from a script by Matt Greenhalgh (adapting the memoir of Lennon's half sister), is an intimate love triangle involving John (Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson), Julia (Anne-Marie Duff), the ...
October 7, 2010 2:35 P.M. EDTIt's Kind of a Funny Story | MOVIE REVIEW
I don't blame you for backing off a movie that focuses on a suicidal teen who learns warm life lessons by spending five days in a Brooklyn hospital's psych ward. Stop worrying. It's Kind of a Funny Story, based on Ned Vizzini's semiautobiographical novel, breaks the jinx. Related Peter Travers ...
October 7, 2010 2:30 P.M. EDTLife as We Know It | MOVIE REVIEW
If you've turned on TV in the last week, you've been bombarded with mind-numbing commercials for this living hell of a movie about two people — perky pastry girl Holly (Katherine Heigl) and pervy sports guy Messer (Josh Duhamel) — who hate each other until they inherit a baby when ...
October 7, 2010 2:15 P.M. EDTThe Social Network | MOVIE REVIEW
Here's a poke to users and nonusers of Facebook: The Social Network isn't some yawny visual aid on how the website grew from a few hundred users at Harvard in 2004 to a 2010 global reach of half a billion. The Social Network is a hard-charging beast of a movie ...
September 30, 2010 7:15 P.M. EDTLet Me In | MOVIE REVIEW
I thought for sure that any Hollywood remake of Tomas Alfredson's artful Swedish vampire film, Let the Right One In, would be a crass desecration. Well, color me blushing. Director Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) proves expert at tracing Alfredson's footsteps, creating a mood of chilling terror even while moving the setting ...
September 30, 2010 3:00 P.M. EDTWall Street: Money Never Sleeps | MOVIE REVIEW
Gordon Gekko is back, baby, and Michael Douglas plays the hell out of him. That's the good news. Everything else in Oliver Stone's sequel to the original Wall Street, the 1987 movie that won Douglas an Oscar and cultural immortality, smacks of moral rectitude. Where's the pleasure in that? Photos: ...
September 24, 2010 12:30 P.M. EDTBuried | MOVIE REVIEW
Ninety minutes of being buried alive with Ryan Reynolds: Didn't we all suffer that in The Proposal? Look, Reynolds give it his all as an American truck driver in Baghdad taken hostage in a coffin to pay for our capitalist sins. But this is gimmick cinema. And it burned me ...
September 24, 2010 12:25 P.M. EDTWaiting for "Superman" | MOVIE REVIEW
It's war! and the enemy trying to bring down public education in America is within. That's the premise of Waiting for "Superman," an electrifying call to action from Davis Guggenheim, whose An Inconvenient Truth won an Oscar.

September 24, 2010 12:20 P.M. EDTThe Town | MOVIE REVIEW
Ben Affleck, whose acting can go from real good (Hollywoodland) to gag-me (Gigli), showed what he could do as a director in 2007's Gone Baby Gone, meaning craft a gritty crime saga minus the slime of mainstream formula. Now Affleck, 38, kicks it up a notch with The Town, a ...
September 15, 2010 4:30 P.M. EDTCatfish | MOVIE REVIEW
There's more killer suspense and shocking intimacy in this one-of-a-kind documentary than you'll find in a dozen thrillers. You'll laugh hard and cry too.

September 15, 2010 4:25 P.M. EDTNever Let Me Go | MOVIE REVIEW
Here's a movie you can't get out of your head, a sci-fi horror story with the seductive allure of a classic romance. In filming Kazuo Ishiguro's 2005 novel Never Let Me Go, director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) maintains the fragile mystery with a cinematic pull all his own. The ...
September 15, 2010 4:20 P.M. EDTEasy A | MOVIE REVIEW
Alicia Silverstone hit it big updating Jane Austen's Emma to high school in Clueless. Easy A, a teen comedy loaded with killer laughs, does the same trick with Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter.
