‘Toy Story’ reveals playroom’s dark side
You've all heard the phrase, "It's lonely at the top." Well, Pixar no longer needs to worry about that.
Fiction of ‘Splice’ fascinating
"Splice" is what you get if you make Frankenstein female and oddly beautiful, give her hip quirky parents and have Sigmund Freud write the screenplay.
Summer movie fun starts at 'The Greek'
"Get Him to the Greek" is shamelessly funny. No seriously - it literally has no shame.
Dull ‘Prince’ needs a royal upgrade
May isn't even over, and we already have our first summer flop in the making.
Another sequel hits its target
We are fortunate to live in a time when actresses older than 40 are no longer considered "over the hill." Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Meryl Streep and many others have proven once and for all that women don't suddenly lose their beauty or their ability to act and draw audiences when they reach a certain age. And there was much rejoicing.
‘Shrek’ bids us a fond farewell — finally
"Shrek Forever After" is the least necessary sequel of 2010. And yes, that includes "Piranha 3D" (releasing in August).
Blahness of ‘Hood’ makes you quiver
Can Robin Hood's wooden arrows pierce Iron Man's armor? Doubtful.
Believe ‘Iron Man’ hype — mostly
No other movie in 2010 will hit theaters with more hype than "Iron Man 2." You're all waiting for it and you're all going to see it regardless of what I write next, so the real question is, does it live up?
Slapstick makes ‘Vengeance’ barely watchable
You know those horror stories you hear about people who went in for minor surgery but wake up to find the doctors mistakenly performed some radical procedure? Like a guy who goes in for a vasectomy but has his leg amputated?
Lower-key festival still holds gems
By the time you read this, the 2010 edition of the Atlanta Film Festival will be winding down. Today is the final day, with a full schedule of films, then the week wraps up Friday night with the Drive-By Truckers shindig.
Movie fans can have a feast at film fest
For the next eight days, the Atlanta Film Festival offers movie lovers a veritable paradise - more than 100 films that celebrate local talent, discover voices from around the world and frequently defy categorization.
Summer movie preview (Part I): Season now a smorgasbord of flavors
For decades, Hollywood stuck to a predictable calendar. Studios released family fare and their better-genre pictures during fall, offered their award winners for our consideration in the winter, dumped their losers and specialty pics each spring, and unleashed their tent-pole blockbusters every summer.
It’s OK to laugh at these gods
Somewhere, stop-motion animation legend Ray Harryhausen is shrugging his shoulders and saying, "Is that the best you whippersnappers with your fancy computers can do?"
'Dragon' comes close to being a classic
Don't you hate it when dragons storm your village and steal your sheep? That happens a lot in Burke, a viking village located on a steep cliff overlooking the ocean. It would be a nice place to live if not for the frequent, terrifying dragon raids. Life for these vikings revolves completely around the ongoing war with the dragons. The men do little besides defend the village and try to find the dragon nesting ground. ...
Gristle can't give 'Repo Men' any taste
"Repo Men" is an "interesting" movie in the same way the "Bodies" exhibition (the one with human cadavers variously posed) is "interesting" art. Is this good art? Bad art? Is it art at all? Answers to these questions vary widely, but no one can deny that it's "interesting."

‘Man of Steel’ buckles under pressure
One thing I can virtually guarantee is "Man of Steel" will not receive a fair chance to succeed, either critically or commercially. And so much is riding on this movie.
‘Purge’ fails to deliver on promises
"The Purge" suffers from an identity crisis.
Duo attempts to grow up, falls short
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are back in theaters trying to grow up again, and the result is about as good as the previous 10 times they've attempted it.
