<description><![CDATA[Seeing The Adventures of Tin-Tin just a few days after Rango, I couldn’t help but be excited for the future of cinema.  The things filmmakers are able to accomplish visually through technically and craftsmanship is astounding. Although I think Verbinski left more of a personal stamp on his film, Steven Spielberg is no slouch and this thing is jaw-dropping at a visual level.   

I listened to an interview with Spielberg and fellow producer Peter Jackson,&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mike Cahill’s first feature Another Earth is rivaled this year only by Sean Durkin’s first feature Martha Marcy May Marlene.  Although very different, they both deal with complicated young women and are made with a sure, competent hand.  Like MMMM, Another Earth features a brave performance by a young actress with a lot of promise, Britt Marling.  Marling is also a producer and co-writer here.  I recognized her immediately from her one episode of Community.&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It was with a lot of trepidation that I sat down to watch Rango.  I am trying to catch up on all the films from 2011 that I haven't seen and sat through a few bad ones that got good reviews. And this may have been the most liked film, on average, from the critics I actually listen to.  It's not the top film on their year end awards, not sure why, but when it&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[When this Joel Schumacher film starring Nicholas Cage and Nicole Kidman came and went without a wimper, or even a television commercial, I was scratching my head.  Surely 
Trespass couldn't be that bad.  If they were lucky they got crazy Nicholas Cage.  If they weren't lucky, well, they had some decent eye candy and maybe Ben Mendelson would channel his crazy from Animal Kingdom.

But it was.  It really was that bad.  It wasn't crazy&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I don't know how I made it through this.  I will chalk it up to being so tired i couldn't work my Roku remote.  Lena Dunham's Tiny Furniture garnered her a lot of praise, from Indie Spirit Awards to HBO deals... so I have anxiously awaiting it's release on Netflix.  

I knew going in that she made this for nothing and cast it with her family for the most part.  Still, it didn't prepare me&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This update of the Charles Bronson starrer The Mechanic features Jason Statham and Ben Foster, with Donald Sutherland co-starring.  Simon West brings us a slick film full of the prerequisite assassin film double-crosses… but I guess my problem with this version is that, although Foster’s character is a bit of a dick, we have every reason to root for him and not Statham.  Statham killed his father and lied to him.  It was an exciting&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA['The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' is fun, pulpy film-noir.  David Fincher brings us a slickly made thriller, but was it worth his time?

One of the biggest problems I had with the film is just a general lack of cohesion.  Ultimately, Harriet's mystery is not linked to the mystery of who is killing these girls.  Finding out who is the serial killer it doesn't lead to Harriet.  Rather, they are found out simultaneously.  And&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am a sucker for spy movies.  Whether it is the Bourne series, the revitalized Bond series or the Mission: Impossible series.  Although I have a love/hate relationship with the latter.  The first one was really good with a lot of double-crossing and excellent action, but the second one was a trainwreck.  From the script to John Woo’s awful directing.  And JJ Abrams third film got the train back on the tracks, with the best&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A movie by Silver Lake hipsters, for Silver Lake hipsters.  With no plot, under developed characters and a meandering drive, 'Bellflower' ultimately leads nowhere.  

Two slacker buddies from the mid-west relocate to Los Angeles – or what looks like the fringes of Los Angeles – to follow their dream of building a flame thrower and/or becoming characters in Mad Max.  It is never really quite clear.  It also isn’t clear how they get their money&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I wanted to hate Young Adult.  I walked in with a strong dislike for Diablo Cody’s 'Juno', tired of her hipper than though speak – which to me was more the rumblings of a social outcast. All of the marketing and trailers sold this as another studio romantic comedy… which would no doubt lead to a warm and fuzzy feeling for everyone at the end.  Something Katherine Heigl could have easily toplined instead of Charlize&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I wanted to end the fat Jonah Hill-era on a high note.  Desperately.  I really like fat Jonah Hill.  He was great in 'Superbad' and really impressed in 'Get Him to the Greek', as well as 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'.  But 'The Sitter' was a turkey from the opening scene all the way to the end.  

Every element of this film felt forced.  From the plot contrivances, to the zany bad guys (Sam Rockwell slumming it&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I started off very down on director D.J. Caruso.  He made some bad, very uninteresting movies with casts and topics that should have been exciting.  'Salton Sea'. 'Taking Lives'. 'Two For the Money'.  It wasn't until 'Disturbia that he started to show any chops. It is notable that he was directing episodes of The Shield right before that, which could be the reason for the uptick in his skillset.  I think he takes a step&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I grew up on Captain America.  After The Hulk, he was my favorite. In fact, as I got to my double-digits Captain America probably took over as my top good guy.  I grew up small.  Smallest in my class.  Smallest on the field.  Smallest on the court.  Wherever I went, I was the smallest.  And Captain America always seemed the most realistic superhero.  A super serum that just makes you bigger, stronger, faster... Like steroids&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As a fan of his debut effort, 'Brick', I was high on Rian Johnson... but after being underwhelmed by the trailer and everything I read/heard about 'Brothers Bloom' I kept putting it off.  Two conmen in hipster suits just isn't my idea of a good time.  I like Adrien Brody just fine, and I'm a Mark Ruffalo fan (I could live without Rachel Weisz - although I do find myself liking most of her movies,&#8230;]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Although it took me a few weeks to catch up with it, I was very much looking forward to Pedro Almodovar's 'The Skin I Live In.'  Besides being a fan of his work, from everything I had heard and seen it was going to be a twisted and dark feature version of the light and twisted TV show 'Nip/Tuck.'  And I was right.

What I liked most about this film was that it had me&#8230;]]></description>
