Film Reviews
Black Nativity
Kasi Lemmons’ adaptation of this Langston Hughes work is a muddled church-time reverie.
The Book Thief
This print bestseller about a girl's coming of age amid the horrors of Nazi Germany is swaddled in maudlin melodrama in this film adaptation.
Bullett Raja
Bollywood crime thriller.
Frozen
This animated film mines Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales for material, discards the most brutish bits, and applies a heavy Disney top gloss.
Homefront
This Jason Statham actioner is mostly predictable, but throws a few curveballs and ends up being surprisingly entertaining.
Irandam Ulagam
Romantic drama from India.
Nebraska
Woody is a man of few words who might not be all there, but Bruce Dern is all there and that's more than good enough for us.
Oldboy
Spike Lee maintains the shuddery, visceral punch of the South Korean original, but something gets lost in translation.
Philomena
Judi Dench and Steve Coogan star in this drama about the search for a woman's son who was taken from her when he was a toddler.
