There are more than a couple extraordinary things about ‘Lincoln.’ Especially in today’s frustratingly gridlocked political environment, it is timelier than ever.

Skyfall doesn’t reach the emotional depths of 2006’s Casino Royale—Daniel Craig’s first outing as MI6 secret agent James Bond—but it features jaw-dropping cinematography and set design, and some of the most exciting action scenes of the entire series.

Flight is a harrowing look at the denial that all alcoholics must face, and its devious trick is casting Denzel Washington in the lead role.

Like any go-for-broke cinematic experience, in order for ‘Cloud Atlas’ to work its magic on you, it requires a certain amount of faith.

Yeah, I know it’s been awhile! We don’t do video reviews too often anymore, but this movie inspired a lot of discussion — 14 minutes worth.

Seven Psychopaths is one of those comedies where a bunch of low-life criminals go around cracking wise and shooting people. Or at least it seems to be some sort of “Tarantino-lite” movie, for a little while.

There’s not a lot of real depth to the characters since this is an ensemble piece and every person gets just a little screen time and serves a distinct storytelling purpose, but Affleck gets winning performances out of all his actors.

I’m all for implausible and efficient action movies, especially when they’re big and ridiculous and having fun. But there’s nothing to Taken 2, which is downbeat and deadly serious—except for one memorable car chase in the middle of the film.

Besides a challenging time-travel premise, a dark sense of humor, and some thrilling action scenes, Looper has the kind emotional weight that you wouldn’t expect.

It’s consistently funny, but it’s also shame that Bachelorette lets most of its characters off the hook too easily, especially after being such a tough-minded film at the opening.

‘Premium Rush’ is the ‘Top Gun’ of bike messenger films, because, like the rebellious fighter pilots of that iconic movie, it glorifies a specific societal subset — they have their own subculture and even hang out at a bike messenger bar.

On the surface, ParaNorman is an animated kids’ film filled with zombies, ghosts, and clever references to horror movies. But there’s a lot more going on in the movie than your average talking-animal children’s fare. It’s aimed at a slightly older audience, and its amazing stop-motion animation makes for some pretty scary moments.

Ferrell plays another in a long line of his familiar type, the over-confident buffoon—this one owing a lot to his famous George W. Bush impression—while Galifianakis plays another effeminate weirdo with a fanny pack, so neither actor is really stretching.
