  • Photos ‘Epic’ doesn’t quite live up to its title

    Derivative as all get out and plainly concocted by a committee, “Epic” is a children’s animated film that is more entertaining and emotional than it has any right to be.

  • Photos Trouble on the farm movie taken to melodramatic heights

    “At Any Price” is an engrossing if somewhat over-the-top trouble on the farm melodrama. The troubles facing this corner of Iowa fall just short of Biblical as they pack in everything but a drought and plagues of locusts.

  • Photos Dumb fun in the summer time

    Bad movies are rarely as much fun as these “Fast and the Furious” pictures. Just make no mistake about it – they’re bad.

  • Photos Links This 'Hangover' is easy to sleep off

    Slow, sentimental, overly violent, and not funny. The third “Hangover” movie isn’t so much exhausted of outrageous “Oh no, they DIDN’T!” ideas as it is spent of energy. And they knew it, too. The only raunchy moment is stuffed into the closing credits, a “we forgot to do that” afterthought. They know they’re done. They just want to make sure we know.

  • Photos Big, brainy action

    “Star Trek Into Darkness” is ridiculously exciting. Which is to say it’s so exciting it’s ridiculous. But in a good way.

  • Photos Complex, compelling moral dilemmas

    “Barbara” is a terrific film, as smart, thoughtful and emotionally involving as just about anything out there.

  • Photos Iconic ‘Trek’ characters

    “To boldly go where no one has gone before” is instantly recognizable as the guiding mantra of the crew of the starship Enterprise.

  • Photos ‘Poppy Hill’: Poetry in motion

    “From Up on Poppy Hill” is stunning, as beautiful a hand-drawn animated feature as you likely will see.

  • Photos One woman’s long trek back to the sea

    “Redwood Highway” could be labeled a coming-of-age film but for one small disqualifier: Its protagonist is a 75-year-old woman. Call it instead a coming-of-the-aged drama.

  • Photos Shiny, happy people

    Jazzy, fizzy and often quite fun, Baz Luhrmann’s “Pretty Good Gatsby” takes F. Scott Fizgerald’s Great American Novel out for a sometimes dazzling, always irreverent spin.
