The Collection
Shocking torture porn just for the sake of shock. And with a get-your-own-pound-of-flesh resolution.
Hitchcock
Hitchcock is on the brink of making the biggest film of his career. But this isn’t so much a movie about the heights and horrors of Psycho as it is a twisty-turny love story about Alfred and his wife.
Red Dawn
A group of determined, courageous adolescents repels North Korean invaders (not Russians) in this rowdy remake of the 1984 “classic.”
Life of Pi
Pi and Richard Parker are lost at sea. And while their story is both beautiful and inspiring, its message is, in some ways, as unmoored as they are. (Did we mention that Richard Parker is a Bengal tiger?)
Silver Linings Playbook
Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro get a little crazy in this difficult love story. Because here’s the thing about silver linings: They’re always in the company of clouds.
Anna Karenina
The latest cinematic incarnation of Leo Tolstoy’s cautionary tale about adultery stars Keira Knightley in the title role as a woman who sacrifices everything to sustain an increasingly damaging affair.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2
Bella finally has her fangs and bloodlust. She has her vampire husband and her half-vampire child. So what’s at the beating heart of this final Twilight?
Skyfall
Daniel Craig’s James does feel grittier than some of the Bonds of yesteryear. And Skyfall doesn’t feel anything at all like light, flyaway entertainment. But perhaps that’s a good thing.
Lincoln
Was Honest Abe actually honest? That’s not the only question this Steven Spielberg-helmed biopic sets out to answer. But it does present us with a substantive start.
Flight
Denzel Washington dons a pilot’s cap and wings in this gripping-but-graphic drama about a man’s battle to land a stricken plane … and overcome his addictions.
