The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Review

Wanting to honor the beloved source material, Sony placed this American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the hands of serial killer mystery expert David Fincher and Oscar-winning writer Steve Zaillian. The move pays off, because “Dragon Tattoo” is about as good as it possibly could be given the challenges of the adaptation.

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol Review

Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol is hopefully the beginning of a beautiful friendship. It’s hard to say whether Brad Bird needed Ethan Hunt more, or if it was the other way around, but regardless, their first collaboration is one hell of an action movie.

Bird is the director of such animated hits as The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille, and he was looking for a way into live-action filmmaking. Hunt, of course, is Tom Cruise’s screen persona in the successful but fizzling franchise that was in dire need of some fresh, new energy. It seems both got what they wanted, and us viewers are the lucky recipients, for you won’t find a more exciting and pure action flick than “Ghost Protocol”.

Young Adult Review

When Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody struck gold with Juno in 2007, they did so with a rare combination of contemporary wit, quirkiness and heart. Their four-year reunion in Young Adult won’t be nearly as heralded, but it might arguably be a better film.

Shame Review

Steve McQueen made a real impact in the film world with his powerful debut Hunger. But like with musicians, there is always the risk that a director’s second movie will not live up to the high expectations the first effort sets. Yet McQueen has a good go with his dark exploration of human character in Shame.

Hugo Review

Martin Scorsese’s Hugo is a film for cinema lovers (and as such the child in all of us) and an ode to movies of old, as much as it is a warm, Christmastime endeavor that demands a smile and a softened heart.

The Muppets Review

The wayward trajectory of the Muppets in the 21st Century definitely fueled the fire for Disney’s “reboot.” Art imitates life here asThe Muppets focuses on bringing the gang back together and ultimately defying those who believe there’s no longer a place for the kind of entertainment and energy they bring.

The Descendants Review

Taking place in Hawaii gives The Descendants a unique presence, not that Alexander Payne’s outstanding film requires a tactical advantage. The venerated filmmaker simply understands how this setting, in all its tropical beauty and paradisiacal allure, has something important to say about this story of life’s many blemishes.

Happy Feet Two Review

There’s little rhyme or reason to anything in the “Happy Feet” universe. If it sings, dances, looks cute and enhances ethnic diversity, it flies. Except penguins of course — penguins can’t fly, everyone knows that. But that doesn’t mean they can’t creatively problem solve through self-determination, tap-dancing and passionate arias.
