Jennifer's Body Movie Review

A snappy script and a lively approach to the genre make this a gleefully grisly teen horror movie thoroughly entertaining. And it also features terrific performances that break stereotypes and pull us into the carnage.

The Men Who Stare at Goats Movie Review

Based on true events as recounted in the Jon Ronson book, this freewheeling war comedy is deeply entertaining due to the crazy-but-believable premise and wonderfully outrageous characters.

A Christmas Carol Movie Review

The quintessential Christmas classic gets yet another movie incarnation with this visually impressive version from effects wizard Zemeckis. For most of us, all the surprises here are visual, and it's well worth seeing in 3D.

Bright Star Movie Review

In 1818 Hampstead, 23-year-old John Keats (Whishaw) is living with his lively friend Charles (Schneider) next door to the Brawne family: a quietly resolute mother (Fox), strong-willed 18-year-old Fanny (Cornish), younger brother Samuel.

1 Day Movie Review

There's a clever idea behind this film, an urban musical that uses rap songs to convey the energy and passion of its characters. It's fascinating, but not very accessible. And the plot is a bit contrived. Flash is just out of prison and he's already in trouble.

Paper Heart Movie Review

Performance artist Charlyne Yi and her friend Nick decide to make a documentary examining why Charlyne doesn't believe she's capable of falling in love. Nick follows her around the country talking to people about relationships.

9 Movie Review

Number 9 (Elijah Wood) is a brave little creature who wakes up into a decimated city where he meets the inventive Number 2 (Martin Landau), who's promptly captured by a scary monster.

Michael Jackson's This Is It Movie Review

Since no one will ever see the epic show, the next best thing is this compilation of rehearsal footage for Jackson's 50 planned This Is It concerts in London.
