O Bumblebee, Where Art Thou?
Seeing John Malkovich, Frances McDormand, and John Turturro on a cast list, you'd think the next Coen Brothers picture was starting production. But believe it or not, this time it's Transformers 3, which stars mechanical beings incapable of expressing emotion. There are… Continued

We know how it is: You'd like to go to the movies this weekend, but you dropped a pocket watch in the shower and now you're stuck in 1857.

"Hot Tub Time Machine" (2010) - MGM
"A bubbly treat."

Well played, Hot Tub Time Machine, well played. You defied expectations, in a good way, and managed to evolve from "potentially silly concept" to "fairly funny film." It was no sure thing. With a premise like Hot Tub Time Machine, it all could have gone horribly… Continued

"The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" (aka "Man som hatar kvinnor") (2009) - Music Box Films
"An intelligent thriller."

Mikael Blomkvist is a "journalist with ideals ... a watchdog," report his microphone-wielding peers as The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo unfurls on-screen. He's a crusader akin to the Swedish journalist behind the Millennium trilogy (of which The Girl WithContinued
