Movie Reviews
'The Grey': Shades of Horror
If it is the director's aim to impress what a slim line exists between life and death, he is unbearably successful.

'Red Tails': ... And Stout of Heart
While a less hackneyed subplot would make for a more complete entertainment, it's apparent that "Red Tails" is not so much a good movie as it is an important movie.

'The Iron Lady': Streep Steels the Show
Although Lloyd pays lip service to the process, this is more about fame and achievement than the life and times of Thatcher.

'Mission: Impossible': Amusement: Probable


'A Dangerous Method' Is Worth Risking
I remind of the apocrypha attributed to Freud, whereas "sometimes a cigar is just a good smoke." Meaning it's a safe bet I have no subconscious motive for recommending "A Dangerous Method."

'The Artist': Shh! Ingenuity at Work
Uggie, the 9-year-old Jack Russell terrier who plays George's canine sidekick, deserves an Oscar for his endearing supporting role.

'Sherlock Holmes II': The Case of the Missing Entertainment
Even Downey's total submersion in the role, a maddening microcosm of the alternately hyperkinetic and plodding screenplay, can't save the day

'My Week with Marilyn': Seven Days In Analysis
Of course it can't help being a tad gossipy, streaming meaty allusions to the favorite myths and lore and offering a few more to contemplate in the bargain.

'The Muppets': Occupies the Conscience
The envisioned renaissance of Jim Henson's original gang, now depicted as having long forsaken showbiz, begins in Smalltown, U.S.A., when Gary, planning a combination vacation/anniversary trip to Hollywood, springs it on Walter that there's a ticket for h

Review: Fudg E. Nuggitz Delivers Oldies Style
Despite their respect for old-school music, the album does offer a pair of tracks that prove a smooth transition into today's lingo as well.

'The Descendants': Trouble in Paradise
The filmmaker is a romantic, an optimist, tipping a hand that he likes this gang, and won't sully them with clichés like dysfunction.

'Anonymous': Guess Who
Offering a mini-monograph on comparative treachery, the lens alternates its focus from the perfidy at court to the lower-class duplicity that takes place among those entrusted to do the Earl's bidding.

'J. Edgar': Investigating the G-man
The youthful, almost pretty Leonardo DiCaprio brilliantly morphs into the much feared, iconic bulldog.

'Tower Heist': Could Use a Loftier View
While the film adeptly plies its genre stencil, the lack of both signature and soul deters it from attaining that comic high note.

'The Last Rites of Joe May': Requiem for a Lightweight
Inconvenient for him but convenient to Maggio's effective but largely uninventive script, she awaits when he returns to his since rented apartment.
