  1. If there's a real reason to go, it's Theron, who manages to give some depth to a ridiculous villain.
  2. ...a conventional fantasy actioner; handsome and subtext-rich, but kind of dull, and Kristen Stewart is indeed so very wrong here.
  3. SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (C+) Not remotely the feast of surreal delights the trailer suggested. Reimagines the fairy tale as...
  4. @jkottke Are you sure? Anderson's framing in that film is intentionally tight; many have commented.
  5. The thing about PROMETHEUS is, shut up.
  6. Janeway was such a good captain.
  7. A better Amercia: I'm with please stop making film adaptations of LES MISERABLES.
  8. I see Tom Hooper is about to once again demonstrate that movie musicals are really, really hard to do.
  9. @PeterSHall What did they cut? I don't recall the film being all that graphic, considering what gets released these days.
  10. @scottrenshaw *ahem* Howard Beale. Autocorrect defeats me.
  11. @scottrenshaw You are ornery lately! Are you gearing up for a Howard Beagle moment?
  12. @peteramartin Neighbors below often have loud parties in our little backyard. My roommate yells at them. My strategy is earplugs.
  13. DARK SHADOWS (B-) This needed a different third act, but it's much better than I was led to believe.
  14. @PeterSHall (a) POSEIDON was just fine; (b) I thought that he then spent years developing ENDER'S GAME before getting dumped off the project
  15. HYSTERIA (C-) Hacky and inept period piece fluff, though Maggie G. is wonderful, as ever.
  16. Only b/c I'm not sure there's anything here one couldn't get from some combination of LA PROMESSE, THE SON, and THE KID WITH A BIKE.
  17. THE SON (Dardennes, 2005) (B) Riveting as usual, but if I had to vote a Dardenne movie off the island, I think I'd pick this one.
