Film Reviews
Cyrus
John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill, and Marisa Tomei co-star in this Duplass brothers' comedy about a young man's obsessive attachment to his mother.
Grown Ups
Grown Ups is the latest in an ongoing series of achingly nostalgic Adam Sandler schmaltzfests.
Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work
This documentary is a softball, entirely sympathetic, and wickedly funny portrait of the artist at an advancing age.
Jonah Hex
The disfigured Weird Western Tales antihero gets his own movie, which mixes elements of the Western and the supernatural.
Knight and Day
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz co-star in this overly cute action film about a rogue CIA agent and the woman along for the ride.
Micmacs
This French-language film from Amélie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet resembles a live-action cartoon.
Winter's Bone
Set in the Ozark Mountain backwoods of Missouri, this tense drama is an exceptionally good film.
