Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean betterAs big, dumb summer “entertainments” go, they don’t get much bigger or much dumber than “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” The briefly amusing mash-up/crunch-up of a couple of summers back has been recycled into an epic two and a half hours of explosions, ponderous cartoon history, veiled racism and inept geography.

A film to make you think
“My Sister’s Keeper” is a horror movie for parents and a righteous weeper that earns its tears. Directed with a sure, sensitive hand by Nick Cassavetes (“The Notebook”), it is an actors’ showcase built on a moral dilemma. But at its most basic, it’s just a good cry.

Just a few laughs among this crop

An adventure for all ages
“Up” is the movie in which Pixar makes it look easy. A feather-light farce with a delicious dose of the sentimental, it isn’t the animation company’s biggest, most complicated or even its best. It’s just a film in which most every oddball element of an odd yet familiar story works.

At least Hathaway shows range
It’s been quite a year for Anne Hathaway. Starting with last summer’s “Get Smart,” the former Disney ingénue has become a force to be reckoned with on both an artistic and commercial level.

Playing against type, actors shine
As movie fans, we get accustomed to seeing actors and actresses in their comfort zones – Jim Carrey does comedy, Meryl Streep does drama – so it’s a little surprising when we get a curve ball like Carrey in “The Majestic” or Streep in “Mamma Mia!”

Rourke claws back to the top
As the immortal LL Cool J once intoned, “Don’t call it a comeback/I’ve been here for years.” But in Hollywood, you’re only as good as your last hit. Struggle for too long, and you’ll become persona non grata in that insular community.

Second choice Crowe was right man for 'State of Play'"It's funny with this film," says Kevin Macdonald about his taut conspiracy thriller "State of Play," starring Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, and opened Friday, "because I find myself spending a disproportionate amount of time talking about a film that might have been, that wasn't."

Busy Seth Rogen talks about new film, next to come
The clatter of a keyboard on the other end of the phone line is Seth Rogen, typing away. He's in the office and he's tidying up e-mails, details and the like for his next film "The Green Hornet," which begins production in June, even as he's talking up "Observe and Report," his latest. As if we needed reminding that Rogen, who turns 27 April 15, is one of the busiest guys in showbiz — popping up in movies, scripting and starring in others, doing "Saturday Night Live."
