    The Woman in Black Michael Phillips

    Albert Nobbs Sheri Linden

    Albert Nobbs, he is actually a she. For reasons we learn gradually, emotional and economic burdens have led this woman (Glenn Close) to initiate a decadeslong masquerade and then to lose herself beneath her own facade

    Albert Nobbs Bill Wine

    Glenn Close plays Albert Nobbs, a woman passing as a man in 19th-century Ireland so that she can make a decent living. She stays out of trouble until Albert makes the acquaintance of Hubert Page (Janet McTeer)

    Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close Bill Wine

    It's not extremely loud, but it is incredibly close. To our hearts and minds. This is a poignant, stimulating drama about the tragic effects and aftermath of the attacks on 9/11

    The Iron Lady Bill Wine

    Meryl Streep portrays former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in the biographical drama about not only the only woman to hold the post, but the person who held it the longest

    The Iron Lady Michael Phillips

    Some movies arrive pre-stamped with a consensus opinion. With 'The Iron Lady,' the consensus so far is this: Meryl Streep excels as Margaret Thatcher. And the movie itself does not work.

    The period drama concerns the turbulent and shifting relationships among psychiatrists Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender) and his mentor, Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen).

    The Artist Bill Wine

    I bet you'll enjoy 'The Artist' immensely as it reminds you of why we have long since fallen for the movies. That's because it's a masterpiece of charm, energy, humor, nostalgia, and craft

    After a mission: impossible to follow, a mission: impossible to swallow, and a mission: impossible to dislike, this fourth installment registers as a mission: impossible to resist

    Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol Michael Phillips

    Big Miracle Bill Wine

    John Krasinski plays a TV news reporter from Anchorage when he discovers a trio of whales blocked from migrating south to Mexico: they're trapped under an immense slab of ice

    Man on a Ledge Michael Phillips

    This suspense thriller about a guy who threatens to jump to his death from the top of a high-rise building stars Sam Worthington as an ex-cop and ex-con who was convicted of theft but who has just escaped from prison

    Haywire Michael Phillips

    In Steven Soderbergh's globe-trotting revenge thriller, martial arts star Gina Carano delivers some serious beatdowns. Special operative Mallory Kane (Carano) is being set up for a double cross and suspects as much

    Beauty and The Beast 3D Michael Phillips

    With amazing cel animation, impressive vocal performances, and unforgettable characters, this movie reminds us of what animation was capable of before the rise of computers and Pixar

    Land of Blood & Honey Bill Wine

    This grim, bittersweet love story in the midst of a tragic and savage war stars Goran Kostic as Christian Serb Danijel, a Yugoslav policeman who meets Ajla, a delicate Muslim artist played by Zana Marjanovic

    Land of Blood & Honey Michael Phillips

    In '90s Sarajevo, a Bosnian Muslim painter, played by Zana Marjanovic, dances at a nightclub with a Bosnian Serb police officer, played by Goran Kostic. Then a bomb explodes

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) Bill Wine

    When Rooney Mara was cast in the coveted role in the high-profile American remake, it seemed like a downgrade. Well, not so fast. Mara is quite riveting co-starring opposite Daniel Craig in this tense thriller

  • Chronicle Roger Moore

    Teenagers acquire super powers on videotape in this new sci-fi romp. Nerdy Andrew (Dane DeHaan) will bully his bullies and try to save his dying mom. Cerebral Matt (Alex Russell) will test out 'free will.' And popular Steve (Michael B. Jordan) will enhance his popularity

    Coriolanus Michael Phillips

    Ralph Fiennes has conjured a very fine film of 'Coriolanus,' in which the actor makes his feature directorial debut. It's worth seeing simply for Vanessa Redgrave's Volumnia, the Roman soldier's fearsome mother

    The Grey Michael Phillips

    Liam Neeson stars as a heartbroken loner named John Ottway, on the verge of suicide as his plane crashes in the Alaskan wilderness. Ottway and his fellow refinery workers must brave horrible conditions and a hungry pack of oversized wolves on their trail

    The Grey Bill Wine

    Throwing its characters to the wolves -- literally -- to see how they fare is a central component of The Grey's anatomy. Liam Neeson stars as loner John Ottway

    Red Tails Michael Phillips

    In 1944 Italy, African-American pilots finally get their shot to prove their worth in the air. The filmmaking comes across as more in love with its digital effects than the characters

    Red Tails Bill Wine

    It's a historical drama about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first group of African-American fighter pilots in the United States' armed forces

    The Flowers of War Sheri Linden

    Based on Geling Yan's novel '13 Flowers of Nanjing,' the story gathers an improbable collection of people in the nominal refuge of a Catholic cathedral as the Chinese capital falls to Japan's Imperial Army

    Joyful Noise Michael Phillips

    This serviceable musical contraption takes place in a hard-hit Georgia town, where the multiracial members of the Divinity Church Choir take their act to the competition stage

    This dialogue-driven dark comedy of manners is based on Yasmina Reza's play, God of Carnage, about two sets of parents who meet to discuss the playground altercation that their tween sons have recently gotten into

    Pariah Michael Phillips

    Remember the name Adepero Oduye. The luminous actress makes this new, coming-of-age drama exceptional. Oduye plays Alike, a young woman slowly coming out as a lesbian at various speeds

The Star of Stars is No More: Elizabeth Taylor is Gone

Elizabeth Taylor, the true Star of Stars was apparently ready to die. Congestive heart failure claimed her. Although the news is not quite a shock.

She was only 79, but had lived a million years, having fired up and exhausted endless fantasies for herself and the millions who watched her, dumbstruck, as she commanded the Fates to do her bidding


Film Legend Elizabeth Taylor Dead at 79

Elizabeth Taylor, the true Star of Stars passed away today at the age of 79. Congestive heart failure claimed her.

MTV Goes For the Gutter With 'Skins'

In an increasingly competitive media landscape, there's one sure way of attracting eyeballs: controversy. Namby-pamby shows aren't going to draw fickle viewers. And thoughtful analysis of issues and situations tends to bring in an elite -- and reduced -- audience. On TV, especially, one must be bold. Salacious. Crass. Shameless. This may explain MTV's latest foray into the youth market

Moonlighting Pays for Broadway Thespians

TV and movie stars continue lining up en masse to make their Broadway debut. This article is not about them. Rather, the flipside of that phenomenon -- working theater actors doing notable TV and film gigs

Reality Shows Try to Find Spot on Crowded Sked

Finding a spot is the big challenge right now for first-season reality TV programs. After all, there are only so many hours in the day to watch television, and viewers tend to be loyal to their favorite show, even if it's a little long in the tooth.

Discovery Channel explains Nitty-Gritty of Dirty Jobs

Throughout the course of "Dirty Jobs", Mike Rowe, 47, has parachuted into incredibly dirty jobs, paying tribute to the value and integrity of manual laborers as he sloshes around in knee-high nastiness right beside them.

Can TV News Be Saved?

A compelling case exists that for many newspapers to survive, they'll require nonprofit status -- and possibly public funding. A related question is where TV and radio journalism might fit into that equation.

It's TV, Not Political Office, for Lou Dobbs

Feisty money talker Lou Dobbs is back, just not the way we expected when he abruptly quit CNN amid rumors he was going to run for the Senate or even the presidency. As he prepares to debut on Fox Business Network, he tells us, 'That is not something I wanted to do.' Though, he 'fessed, running for office was 'very tempting.'

Kate Winslet Suffers Magnificently in HBO's 'Mildred Pierce'

HBO has attempted a mighty feat with its five-part miniseries Mildred Pierce starring Kate Winslet, based on James M. Cain's best-selling 1941 novel. First of all, there is the vivid memory of the 1945 black-and-white screen version, starring Joan Crawford as the ambitious, long-suffering Mildred and co-starring Ann Blyth as Veda, the vicious, ungrateful daughter from Hell

'Breaking Bad' -- Am I the Only Person Watching This Great TV Show

After having its maiden run shortened by the writer's strike, 'Breaking Bad' recently capped a breathtaking second season that delved deeper into the show's world of moral ambiguity and unintended consequences," writes Variety's pundit Brian Lowry.

Chattin' It up With iCarly's Miranda Cosgrove

Miranda Cosgrove isn't getting much of a vacation this year, but she's not complaining. The 16-year-old actress is busy filming a slew of new 'iCarly' episodes, but that hasn't stopped her from partaking in some of her favorite pastimes

Few Penalties For Stars Behaving Badly

Charlie Sheen and Ben Roethlisberger might seem an unlikely pair. Yet the 'Two and a Half Men' star and Super Bowl quarterback both demonstrate an old truth: Bad behavior is seldom enough to keep proven winners sidelined long.

Boy, Do We Like to Watch

The numbers are in. More than 111 million households watched the Super Bowl. That makes this year's Super Bowl the single-most-watched television broadcast of all time. Yes, even more than the premiere of 'Jersey Shore' season two. It's hard to believe, but completely true

Past Offers Paths For Remodeling 'Two and a Half Men'

Killing a sitcom character might sound like a bummer, but producer Norman Lear thinks viewers are relatively forgiving in such situations. 'If they have any other characters that the audience is interested in, and the writing is up to it, it'll sustain.' It would be possible to create a new character, Lear said, to deliver the news Sheen's alter ego, Charlie Harper, won't be back

Who was Michael Jackson

When Michael Jackson tragically died two weeks ago, millions were shocked. The wonder, though, is not that the troubled pop-music megastar died at the relatively young age of 50 under regrettable circumstances, but that he was able to live as long as he did
