I think the French are still feeling their way in the action genre.

The Help
There's a reason Viola Davis is going to get an Oscar nod. If this performance doesn't convince you, watch Doubt.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Great to see these stupendous drawings, but I think the main selling point of this film was the 3D. So, in the theater next time it comes around...

The Descendants
Is this film taking the same path as Sideways? Not that you either love it or hate it, but you either love it or you like it.

Cars 2
At least they got the Japanese culture down pat: vending machines, capsule hotels, and silly toy cars.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Yet another example of a film that needs no words. (And that's not a good thing.)

Horrible Bosses
Mostly a heaping pile of classic jokes. (Liked seeing Charlie Day in a large role, though.)

Fast Five
Mission: Impossible II meets The Italian Job meets Ocean's Eleven. (Read: a bit cleverer than usual.)

Bridesmaids
Maya Rudolph sitting in a wedding dress in the middle of the road is hands down the funniest thing I've seen all year.
