Mamma Mia!

This film adaptation of the Broadway adaptation of a catalog of Swedish disco hits retains all the fun but remains astonishingly silly.

Stay Alive

Contrary to the hopes of geeks everywhere, Stay Alive is not an all-zombie musical remake of Sly Stallone's 1983 Saturday Night Fever sequel, but instead a fatuous and dull horror film about gamers.

"...was somehow, you know, dangerous? Like, if you sat too close to the “tee-vee” for too many hours playing..."

The Night Listener

This taut, wiry exercise in eerie bad vibes, about a writer-cum-radio personality and a disturbing teenage literary sensation, is emotionally dense but never fully takes flight.

The Social Network

This retelling of Facebook's first contentious steps is a blisteringly entertaining film formed of a lovely amalgam of David Fincher's direction, Aaron Sorkin's screenplay, and Jesse Eisenberg's spotless performance as Mark Zuckerberg.

Milk

Gus Van Sant's deeply heartfelt Milk, which features a magnificent performance by Sean Penn as the crusading gay activist, is a finely wrought yet fairly standard biopic.
