Film Reviews
Arthur Christmas
The folks at Aardman Animation, who gave us Wallace & Gromit, seve up an instant – and funny – holiday classic.
The Descendants
George Clooney teams up with Sideways filmmaker Alexander Payne for this funny but tender story that's a little too smug for its own good.
Hugo
Martin Scorsese steps outside his comfort zone to create an effects-heavy children’s film set in France – and winds up creating one of his most splendid and personal films.
The Muppets
This Muppet reboot is an absolute delight and puts an end to the great Muppet diaspora.
My Week With Marilyn
Based on the memories of Colin Clark, this movie recounts his time getting to know Marilyn Monroe while she was in England shooting The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1
With this new entry, the series officially marks a transition from relatively harmless Victorian-minded trash to something flatly pernicious.
