Source Code starts out with a premise which is so intrinsically flawed that there was no way it could have fully succeeded.
A terrorist has blown up a commuter train bound for Chicago. The government has reason to believe that this […]

Midnight In Paris is a slight but amusing effort from Woody Allen. It gets extra points for avoiding Woody’s usual pitfall of making all of the characters sound like versions of himself. For a change, he has written characters who are very […]

It’s difficult to come up with more than a handful of movies that explore the relationship between (the Christian) God’s omnipotence, his plan, free will, and the problem of evil. There’s Bruce Almighty, but it mostly functions as an Christian apologia, a way […]

Considering that The Tale of Despereaux won a Newberry Award, the story is surprisingly weak. The best story element by far is the mouse community’s efforts to education it’s young. For example, the mouse teachers show their students pictures of knives, mousetraps and cats, encouraging […]

Passengers seems to have a semi-interesting concept. How do people adjust to being survivors of a major disaster like an airline crash?
Claire (Anne Hathaway) is a psychologist who specializes in counseling such people. Eric (Patrick Wilson) is one of a half dozen or so survivors […]
