The Road

This adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel The Road is bleak, of course, but I share if it's worth the trouble over at CinemaSpy.

The Blind Side

An inspirational sports drama coupled with the star power of Sandra Bullock might be a dream for some people and a neverending nightmare for others. Dash over to CinemaSpy to see where my loyalties lie. Meanwhile, where's my Ohio State Buckeyes movie?

Mammoth

After making films such as Fucking Amal and Lilya 4-Ever, Swedish director makes his English-language debut with Mammoth. My review of the drama starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Michelle Williams appears on TVGuide.com.

New Moon

Though I've read all the books in the Twilight series, I'm not what you'd call a typical fan. ThePlaylist has my take on the frighteningly successful teen romance New Moon.

The Messenger

Iraq war films such as Lions for Lambs and Stop Loss have failed to win over audiences or critics, but The Messenger transcends the genre with its emotional drama and authentic characters. AllMovie has my review of the film, as well as my interview with star Ben Foster and writer/director Oren Moverman.

Collapse

If you thought Paranormal Activity was too unrealistic to be scary, be sure to check out my review of the terrifying documentary Collapse. My review reveals some of the horrors, but be warned: I was nearly in the fetal position after the film screening.

The Men Who Stare at Goats

Does the latest George Clooney movie have me entranced, or am I merely in a catatonic stupor? I reveal my thoughts on the blackly comic war satire at CinemaSpy.

The Playlist blog
