Stoker

Rating: Bram Stoker wrote the horror classic “Dracula” in 1897. We may not have vampires in this film, but we clearly have some of his relatives.

Total Recall

A preposterous film that works if you can morph into a 21-year old boy while sitting in the theater.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

While it has its moments, its nomination for Oscar’s Best Picture defies reasonable explanation.

The Adventures of Tintin

Not nearly as good as this year’s Rango, though far more entertaining than Scorcese’s Hugo.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

It might be 2012, but from a political standpoint we should really remember the 1950’s.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Awfully good, but Mr. Fincher should have left well enough alone.

The Descendants and Hugo

Again, Two Tragically Disappointing Films

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2

Very Highly Recommended, particularly for Potter fans

Incendies

This is a film that will challenge you visually and emotionally, and the impact is likely to stay with you long after leaving the theater.
