Point Blank

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.)

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.
