  1. Film Review: 'Star Trek Into Darkness' marks return of some old friends

    In 2009, the "Star Trek" franchise was put in the hands of J.J. Abrams ("Lost," "Mission Impossible 3"), who confessed to never having been much of a Trekkie. This, of course, sent the dyed-in-the-wool Trekkies into a tizzy, but it turned out to be exactly what was needed. Abrams managed to pull off one of the trickiest reboots imaginable: The original cast had played their characters on TV and film for 25 years; and no one else had attempted those roles for 43 years.

  2. Film Review: A fearsome performance will keep you watching

    "The Iceman" — directed by Ariel Vroman from a script he cowrote with Morgan Land — is based on the life of Richard Kuklinski, a hired killer who is believed to have murdered more people than any number of serial killers. In a 1992 HBO special with the same title, Kuklinski, when asked for a specific figure, says, "I don't know. Over a hundred, I think."

  3. DVD Review: Reaching for the combo 'Reacher' option

    <strong></strong>When Christopher McQuarrie's "Jack Reacher" came out late last year, most critics &mdash; myself included &mdash; wondered whether the many diehard fans of Lee Child's novels would be appalled by the casting of Tom Cruise, who is physically almost the opposite of Reacher. Not having read the books, I found the film thoroughly entertaining. One solid fan among my friends was prepared to hate it, but decided after the first few minutes that it was worth simply packing away his prior knowledge in a mental lock box; and he consequently enjoyed it immensely.

  4. DVD Review: A buffet of 'Repo Man' shrimp

    As years go, 1984 turned out a lot better than George Orwell's vision had it. In American film, it was a lull between the stylistic breakouts of the '60s and early '70s and the commercial mushrooming of indie films in the late '80s. It also marked the release of three comedies that would never have been made in Hollywood, except they were. "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai," steeped in hip deadpan irony, was released by Fox; "This Is Spinal Tap" was distributed by Embassy, divisions of which were soon to be batted around from owner to owner; and Alex Cox's "Repo Man" was courtesy of Universal.

  5. Film Review: A romantic comedy sans jokes

    Road pictures come, off the shelf, with an automatic story arc: the characters must get from point A to point B, not just geographically but thematically. More often than not, they end up at a different point B than they had intended or hoped for. The genre is available in three major flavors: person or persons on the run from pursuers (cops, gangsters, or both); unlikely heroes desperately trying to deliver something (like the rare vaccine for a pandemic); romantic comedy odd couple thrown together by chance, then learning how to get along. Some films manage to do all three at once. The most perfect examples are "The 39 Steps" and "North by Northwest"; "Midnight Run" is close, if you consider "bromance" a subset of "romance."

  6. Film Review: Pair is part lackluster, part confusing

    Terrence Malick became a critics' darling, a hot young director to watch, with his first two features, "Badlands" (1973) and "Days of Heaven" (1978). Then he disappeared for 20 years.

  7. Film Review: A feature without answers

    Shane Carruth made an impressive debut in 2004 with "Primer," which cost $7,000 and is surely the most complexly structured time-travel film ever made.

  8. Digging deep into 'The Shining'

    There is nothing especially frightening about Room 350 at the Standard Hotel on the Sunset Strip. It overlooks the pool, with colorful mod d&eacute;cor pleasantly bathed in bright window light. Inside, documentary filmmaker Rodney Ascher is prepared to discuss the startling obsessions of his "Room 237."

  9. Film Review: 'G.I. Joe's' retaliation against us all

    To summarize the economics behind "G.I. Joe: Retaliation": the 2009 "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra" made enough moolah ($150 million domestic, $150 million elsewhere) to justify &mdash; nay, demand &mdash; a sequel. As for the aesthetics of the film, "G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra" made enough moolah to justify &mdash; nay, demand &mdash; a sequel. Really. There are very few moments here where the filmmakers seem to have thought about anything else.

  10. DVD Review: A worthwhile look at 'Badlands'

    Terence Malick had already sold a couple of screenplays when his feature directorial debut, "Badlands" (1973), created an art-house sensation.

  11. Film Review: 'Admission' not wonderful, not awful

    "Admission" is a nice movie. You have no idea how depressing it is for a critic to drag out what may be the blandest word in the English language. But it fits. "Admission" is a bowl of oatmeal &mdash; instant oatmeal &mdash; with nothing added; not sugar, not fruit, maybe a tiny bit of butter. Don't get me wrong: I like oatmeal, even plain. Neither it nor &ldquo;Admission&rdquo; is awful, but I can't imagine it getting anyone genuinely stoked.
