Margin Call

A talking-heads movie does not have to be at all boring.

I guess it's just a simple coincidence that this one is.

The Skin I Live In / La piel que habito

Antonio Banderas (Spy Kids, Puss in Boots) plays the dangerous career move of asking himself, "what would George Clooney do (WWGCD)," and ends up in the most twisted deep end of Almodóvarland.

On the bright side, this would make a perfect double feature if paired with "Human Centipede."

Johnny English Reborn

Come for the best Bond since Moore, stay for the killer auntie.

The cooking scene is just a tasty bonus.

Moneyball

I'm thinking this would be really great-- for people who give a crap about baseball.

The good news is, this movie IS a lot more interesting--and concise--than an actual baseball game.

The Ides of March

He may be no Martin Sheen, but I'd vote for George Clooney for President.

At least he's not weighed down by that fool Charlie.

50/50

Gets the balance between comedy and drama just right, walking that tightrope with ease.

The bad news is, this could create more hypochondriacs than Contagion.

Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame

Internal combustion in long-ago China, and everyone's at risk!

Much more fun than Contagion.

Lion King 3D

Yes, I'm a hater of the 3D fad, but this works--and I knew it would.

It's like a great-big View-Master reel.
