ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Tim Burton’s journey down the rabbit hole is something of a cinematic mish-mash: partly fantastic, partly disappointing... and, entirely, needlessly in 3D.
PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE
Haunting and disturbing, with a performance by Mo'Nique that you won't be able to shake for days, Precious is difficult to watch, but tells a story that needs to be told.
THE HURT LOCKER
Better sit on a plastic bag, because The Hurt Locker is so intense that you may just soil yourself.
CRAZY HEART
Jeff Bridges has already earned a slew of award nominations for his work in this redemption drama, but it would have been nice if the film itself had as much “for your consideration”-worthy material for the rest of its cast.
THE BLIND SIDE
The Blind Side has nothing but noble intentions. It is a feel-good movie with an inarguably positive and noble message. It's just too bad that it is kind of bland.
AVATAR
Years and years, and hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in the making, Avatar shows that director James Cameron is still the King of the World. Well, the king of his own fantasy world of Pandora at least.
UP
I’m running out of superlatives for Pixar films. They are, without fail, amazing. I love them all, and this newest cinematic outing from the folks who brought the world WALL-E and Finding Nemo is no exception. It’s gorgeous, hilarious, poignant, sweet, moving and, as always, incredibly smart.
