Smashed
In an intoxicating performance worthy of awards attention, Mary Elizabeth Winstead gets 'Smashed.'
Drama
Rod Lott
In a short career largely dominated with genre films — from Final Destination 3 to this past summer’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter — Mary Elizabeth Winstead always has exuded a certain something. But nothing that ever suggested the level of performance she delivers in Smashed.
Lincoln
Daniel Day-Lewis embodies America's arguably greatest president.
Drama
Phil Bacharach
Lincoln practically shouts “prestige production” before you’ve even had a chance to buy your popcorn. A costume drama about one of this nation’s most revered historical figures, this is the kind of film irresistible to awards groups.
Comes a Bright Day
All is not calm, all is not ‘Bright.’
Thriller
Rod Lott
London, jazz, neon-lit nights, a posh hotel, a heist, Imogen Poots: Comes a Bright Day has so many elements I love to see in the movies, yet they add up to such a minuscule amount of pleasure. It's like pouring your favorite bubbly beverage all the way to the top of a frosty glass, only to see that once the head has subsided, you're left with so little.
Perry Mason Mysteries: The Original Warner Bros. Movies Collection
I was underwhelmed, your honor.
Thriller
Rod Lott
I should have listened to Ron Backer. In his new book, Mystery Movie Series of 1930s Hollywood, he more or less warns would-be audiences away from trying any of the early 1930s’ half-dozen movies based on Erle Stanley Gardner's Perry Mason character.
Mickey and Me
The 'Manhattan' and 'Annie Hall' heyday of Woody Allen is channeled in Mickey Reece’s Norman-set story of hilarious heartbreak.
Hitchcock
It’s less suspense and more family plot in this muddled biopic of the master of suspense.
Drama
Phil Bacharach
Alfred Hitchcock was more than the master of suspense. The director of such landmark motion pictures as Rear Window and Vertigo was instrumental in devising the language of modern film. As such, it seems a cruel irony that a movie about him would be made by decidedly lesser filmmakers.
A Destructive Manner
Your average office worker can be pushed only so far, as this locally shot thriller dramatically demonstrates.
Lawless
The family that bootlegs together, stays together.
