Movie ReviewsMovie Review | 'Gran Torino' “Gran Torino” shows an urgent engagement with the tougher, messier, bigger questions of American life. Movie Review | 'Doubt' The air is thick with paranoia in “Doubt,” but nowhere as thick, juicy, sustained or sustaining as Meryl Streep’s performance. ADVERTISEMENT Movie Review | 'Che' Nearly four and a half hours long, spanning more than a decade and reconstructing a pair of brutal insurgencies, “Che” surely deserves the name of epic. Movie Review | 'Wendy and Lucy' “Wendy and Lucy” takes place mainly outdoors and registers the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest with unostentatious affection. Movie Review | 'The Day the Earth Stood Still' In “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” the alien Klaatu has a mission: to help exterminate the human race. Movie Review | 'The Reader' “The Reader” is a scrupulously tasteful film about an erotic affair that turns to love. Movie Review | 'What Doesn’t Kill You'This film tells a good story well, and in the process quietly says a little something about what it means to look at the American dream from the bottom up. Movie Review | 'Adam Resurrected' Jeff Goldblum’s tour-de-force performance is not enough to transmit a steady emotional current through “Adam Resurrected.” Movie Review | 'Nothing Like the Holidays' “Nothing Like the Holidays” is an efficient home-for-Christmas ensemble comedy trimmed with plastic teardrops. Movie Review | 'Timecrimes' Proof positive that a naked hottie and whiz-bang pacing can disguise gaping narrative cracks, “Timecrimes” makes sci-fi lemonade out of low-budget lemons. More Reviews
