SMILEY - DVD review
There’s an idea about online violence buried in the glop here, but ”Smiley” is a forgettable horror-thriller that wastes that idea on generic direction, cheap scares, and a ludicrous twist ending.

A LIAR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY: THE UNTRUE STORY OF MONTY PYTHON'S GRAHAM CHAPMAN - DVD review
Truly disappointing, the ambitious “A Liar’s Autobiography” falls flat in almost every way, despite some vivid animated sequences and occasional insight. Its subject deserves better.

SKYFALL - Blu-ray review
It ought to win a prize just for reconnecting with what made the franchise successful in the first place, while also repositioning the Bond films for the ‘10s.

BABAR: THE MOVIE - DVD review
“Babar: The Movie” feels like a film in search of an audience. Youngsters who should be the primary viewers may find the rhino-elephant battles too frightening or too repetitive. And once you get past a certain age, you’re too old for this simple narrative of a little elephant king . . .

This 1958 version is deeply affective and flat-out devastating.
