"Pure entertainment."

We generally turn to movies for one of three things: entertainment, education, or enlightenment. The Oscar films usually toe the divide between entertainment and enlightenment, biopics offer a spoonful of education, and the summer blockbusters are pure entertainment. The film in question, Law Abiding Citizen, is pure entertainment too, nothing more, nothing less. You won’t learn anything or have to consider any new concepts … it’s just a pure "July"…

"It’s individual moments and scenes that make it worth seeing."

First of all, Where the Wild Things Are is not a kids movie. Its content is not inappropriate — no more so than plenty of animated films — but its style, tone, and structure would bewilder young children, if not bore them outright. It’s a movie about childhood, for adults.

With its screenplay by literary hipster hero Dave Eggers and soundtrack by the lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, plus Spike Jonze’s playful…

"The film reaches heights in horror that haven’t been touched in a while."

We live in a world of reality TV, YouTube, digital cameras, and cell phones with access to the Internet and video capabilities. But ten years ago, before our ties to everyday home recorders, a little independent horror flick called The Blair Witch Project came out and scared the pants off people by providing something we hadn’t seen before: "real" video footage of scary stuff happening to "real" people.…

"This mix of trivial, silly, and essential in one taut narrative is what makes the Coens the best in the industry. "

As I was walking back from the theater after seeing A Serious Man, I was stopped on the street by a guy and his buddy. Of course, my guard was instantly up. Stranger danger! Would he want me to buy a magazine? Donate to a cause? Sign a petition? He held out a piece of paper in front of him, toward me, and our proximity made it impossible for me pretend I hadn’t…

"An Education is a remarkable tale well versed in feminine desire, intelligence, and innocence."

You can hardly blame a girl for accepting the chance to be whisked away to be loved, adored, and admired. From Twilight to An Education, the spectrum of longing to be understood and appreciated runs the gamut, yet where Twilight focuses in on the mundane to be found in female nature, An Education is a remarkable tale well versed in feminine desire, intelligence, and innocence.

"The emphasis is on shallow laughs."

If one of the TV networks took the married couples from four of its sitcoms and crammed them into one big crossover stunt for sweeps week, it might resemble Couples Retreat, although Couples Retreat does not have a laugh track, and only one of the husbands is a fat guy with a hot partner. So the comparison isn’t perfect.

You get the idea, though: standard couples, each with a different defining characteristic, all of them quarrelsome but…

"Quite an enjoyable experience."

The zombie comedy genre has been festering in a state of limbo since Shaun of the Dead hit in 2004, thus kick-starting a newly invented sub-genre known as the zom-com, or the zomedy. Others have tried flocking to this new sub-genre with varied results, everything from Fido to Dance of the Dead to this year’s Dead Snow. But while making a zomedy sounds like a piece of cake, their efforts have proved that it’s no easy task, and we (the audience)…

"It’s not so much actively offensive as it is passively boring."

I’m an unabashed Ricky Gervais fan. You simply can’t bash me on that front, as I adore the original BBC Office, I enjoy Extras, heck, I even thought Ghost Town was severely underrated. But The Invention of Lying? No, not really for me, thanks. A bit like watching your best friend run headfirst into a wall. You want to be there for them after it’s all over, ready to call the EMTs, but as they pick up speed toward…
