‘Into the Abyss’ is the latest documentary from Werner Herzog that takes a difficult look at a triple homicide in 2001 and why death occurs, both by criminals and by the state.
‘Tower Heist’ is another timely “in the zeitgeist” populist movie about the working man’s revenge – it’s not completely hilarious, but it’s not so bad either.
‘Anonymous’ is a thriller/romance about the authorship of Shakespeare that fancies itself quite clever – but stumbles quite mightily along the way to a tepid conclusion.
‘In Time’ is an attempted high-concept action thriller that ultimately falls to pieces along with its overly obvious populist metaphor.
’50/50′ is a dark comedy about dealing with cancer, death, and difficult therapy. You’ll laugh and cry equally.
‘Tucker & Dale vs Evil’ is one funny movie, poking fun at over the top hillbilly horror movie while utilizing its best qualities.
‘Killer Elite’ is a movie that is very close to working, with intriguing moral dilemmas and decent action sequences, but falls apart under its own weight.
