Movie Review | 'Greenberg': Ben Stiller as a Slacker in Noah Baumbach’s Work ... “Greenberg” is the funniest and saddest movie Noah Baumbach has made so far, and also the riskiest. Movie Review | 'Vincere': From Marco Bellocchio, a Dictator as Young Lover ... “Vincere” is a sustained, alternatingly exhausting and aesthetically exhilarating howl of a film. Movie Review | 'The Runaways': Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as Rock ’n’ Roll Idols ... “The Runaways” evokes its moment and milieu with affectionate, almost uncanny fidelity. Movie Review | 'The Bounty Hunter': Aniston and Butler as Battling Exes ... “The Bounty Hunter” is the latest evidence that, when it comes to romantic combat, we live in a more thoughtlessly brutal age than our ancestors did. Movie Review | 'Repo Men': Jude Law’s Hands-On Approach to Health Care Reform ... To audiences starved for quasi-medical gore, the gruesome “Repo Men” should help fill the void left by “Nip/Tuck.” Movie Review | 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo': Stieg Larsson’s Novel on Screen ... In “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo,” Noomi Rapace more or less looks the part that the filmmakers don’t let her fully play. Movie Review | 'Neil Young Trunk Show': A Return to Neil Young’s Stage ... Beautifully lighted and meticulously recorded, “Neil Young Trunk Show” looks and sounds like several million bucks. Movie Review | 'Hubble 3D': The Universe Up There ... “Hubble 3D” is dazzling to look at of course. But such ponderous, cliché-heavy narration. Movie Review | 'Mid-August Lunch': Gianni Di Gregorio’s Film Studies the Glow of Old Age ... Gianni Di Gregorio’s luminous sliver of a film, “Mid-August Lunch,” is a Chekhovian vignette about the joys and regrets of old age and the pleasures of sociability.

In “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” episodes that might be howlingly funny on the page turn weirdly gross and sadistic on screen.

Starring: Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, Jay B... Review: Kid stuff? Maybe. But How to Train Your Dragon, from the book by Cressida Cowell, works enough miracles of 3-D animation to charm your socks off. The story follows conventional lines: Viking teen Hiccup (voiced with sly comic skill by Jay Baruchel) is a wimpy misfit to his chief-dad, Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), and the babe-ish Astrid (America Ferrera). They want all dragons dead. After befriending the wounded beast Toothless, Hiccup wants to make peace, and Gobber (Craig Ferguson, hilarious), the village blacksmith, thinks he has a point. That's it for plot. But writer-directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois (Lilo & Stitch) make funny, touching, sublime entertainment out of it. Get more news, reviews and interviews from Peter Travers on The Travers Take. Rating: 3 Stars Greenberg ... Starring: Ben Stiller, Greta Gerwig Review: See this darkly comic character study unburdened by preconceptions. Writer-director Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale) walks the fragile line between humor and heartbreak. Ben Stiller is exceptional as Roger Greenberg, a failed New York musician housesitting for his brother in the Hollywood Hills and wondering how life sent him adrift. Selfish, neurotic and often an asshole, Roger exists to sweat the small stuff. He's delusional about his ex-girlfriend (Jennifer Jason Leigh) and his former bandmate (Rhys Ifans). Why his brother's sweet, affectless assistant, Florence (Greta Gerwig), would go to bed with this grab bag of dysfunctions is a mystery even to Roger. But not to us. Baumbach tracks Roger without glib condescension. That's why Greenberg pulls you in. Even when you laugh, like... Rating: 3 Stars The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ... Starring: Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist Review: This dynamite thriller shivers with suspense. So if you ignore The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (from the global bestseller by the late Stieg Larsson) because it's in Swedish with English subtitles, you probably deserve the remake Hollywood will surely screw up. ( Peter Travers reviews The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in his weekly video podcast, "At the Movies With Peter Travers.") Better to just go with the twisty flow as pierced, tattooed twentysomething hacker Lisbeth Salander (a dazzling Noomi Rapace in a star-making performance) teams up with middle-aged journalist Mikael Blomqvist (the excellent Michael Nyqvist) to unearth secrets in the family of an industrialist who thinks his niece was murdered 40 years ago. Homicide is just the tip of this Nordic iceberg, which finds Lisbeth and... Rating: 3.5 Stars The Runaways ... Starring: Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Michael Shannon Review: "Come on, you filthy pussies, let's rock and roll." That trash talk is aimed at Kristen Stewart, 19, and Dakota Fanning, 16, stars of Twilight: New Moon, by Michael Shannon, in fierce, flamboyant form as evil-genius manager Kim Fowley. Kim is cursing the girls as members of the Runaways, a pioneering band of five jailbait rockers from broken homes that he wants to turn into the female Beatles. Peter Travers reviews The Runaways in his weekly video podcast, "At the Movies With Peter Travers." Stewart gives as good as she gets. She's playing Joan Jett, 15, the shag-haired guitarist, singer and songwriter who co-founded the Runaways in 1975 and went on ? after the L.A. band dissolved in 1979 ? to achieve star status as a solo act. Fanning has it tougher as Cherie Currie, 15, a blond... Rating: 2.5 Stars Remember Me ... Starring: Robert Pattinson, Emilie de Ravin Review: Is there life after Twilight? Kristen Stewart makes a decent case in The Runaways. Now Rob Pattinson, her vamp lover, trades fantasy for reality in Remember Me. ( Peter Travers reviews Remember Me in his weekly video podcast, "At the Movies With Peter Travers.") As Tyler, a New York college boy, the brooding RPatz doesn?t bite. But his movie does. It?s crudely written by Will Fetters and directed by Allen Coulter of The Sopranos (WTF?) as a love story between Tyler and Ally (Lost?s Emilie de Ravin), both with daddy issues. His (Pierce Brosnan) rules Wall Street, hers (Chris Cooper) is a cop. It?s all weepy drool until the twist ending, which turns it shockingly offensive. Get more news, reviews and interviews from Peter... Rating: 1 Star She's Out of My League ... Starring: Jay Baruchel, Alice Eve Review: Who can relate to a nerd who dreams of rubbing his pencil dick on the private parts of a blonde hot enough to rate a hard 10? My guess is that audience is pathetically large, which should chart She's Out of My League high as a date-movie must for the loser in all of us. OK, you've seen it before. Lots. Maybe when it was called 10 or Can't Buy Me Love or Can't Hardly Wait or Knocked Up or Superbad or anything with Michael Cera. Stop me before I name-check again. She's Out of My League is a rowdy blast because the spiky young cast treats the played-out script like virgin territory. That's acting! Peter Travers reviews She's Out of My League in his weekly video podcast, "At the Movies With Peter Travers." Jay Baruchel, the skinny Canadian actor who scored in... Rating: 2.5 Stars |
