<![CDATA[Disconnect - Log on for drama.]]> Its technology will be dated hopelessly within a few years, but for now, Disconnect stands as an accurate parable on the dangers of the Internet. ]]> <![CDATA[42 - This Jackie Robinson biopic is a solid hit.]]> In chronicling the real-life tale of Jackie Robinson, who broke Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947 when he joined the Brooklyn Dodgers, 42 is schmaltzy, sentimental and shameless. There is no dabbling in highfalutin niceties like subtext or nuance. Writer-director Brian Helgeland, who penned the hardly simplistic L.A. Confidential, keeps his focus simple and is content to let his hero worship fly.]]> <![CDATA[K-11 - Bar none, a one-of-a-kind kick.]]> How weird that K-11 is attracting more attention for who the director is (the mother of Twilight starlet Kristen Stewart) than for its outlandish subject matter (transgendered inmates). That oversight is as insane as this movie, new to VOD.]]> <![CDATA[Amour - The Oscar-nominated drama is cold-blooded, yet remarkable.]]> Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke isn't the obvious choice for a movie about love at its weightiest and most profound. In previous works like Funny Games, The Piano Teacher, The White Ribbon and Caché, he has crafted cinematic nipple twists that tweak audiences while examining humankind at its cruelest. ]]> <![CDATA[Wuthering Heights - Emily, blunt.]]> Wuthering Heights

<![CDATA[Hitchcock - It’s less suspense and more family plot in this muddled biopic of the master of suspense.]]> Alfred Hitchcock was more than the master of suspense. The director of such landmark motion pictures as Rear Window and Vertigo was instrumental in devising the language of modern film. As such, it seems a cruel irony that a movie about him would be made by decidedly lesser filmmakers. ]]> <![CDATA[Fred Won’t Move Out - A nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live there.]]> Fred Won’t Move Out

<![CDATA[Smashed - In an intoxicating performance worthy of awards attention, Mary Elizabeth Winstead gets 'Smashed.']]> In a short career largely dominated with genre films — from Final Destination 3 to this past summer’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter — Mary Elizabeth Winstead always has exuded a certain something. But nothing that ever suggested the level of performance she delivers in Smashed.]]> <![CDATA[Lincoln - Daniel Day-Lewis embodies America's arguably greatest president.]]> Lincoln practically shouts “prestige production” before you’ve even had a chance to buy your popcorn. A costume drama about one of this nation’s most revered historical figures, this is the kind of film irresistible to awards groups.

<![CDATA[The Girl - Every relationship has a Hitch.]]> Sienna Miller looks every bit the Hitchcock blonde she plays in The Girl, an HBO original film about the relationship between actress Tippi Hedren and the director who gave her not only her big break, but big trouble.]]> <![CDATA[The Perks of Being a Wallflower - 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' deftly grasps the pains and joys of high school.]]> John Hughes, for all the love people heap on his ’80s teen movies, was far too easy on high school. Maybe your high school experience was different than mine — and, if so, congrats. For many of us, however, those years were a marathon of self-pity, heartache, passion and anything else you’d find on an album by The Smiths.]]> <![CDATA[Elena - Money matters within the hierarchy of a blended family go under scrutiny in an icy Russian drama.]]> Elena

<![CDATA[Where Do We Go Now? - ]]> Where Do We Go Now? is easier to admire than praise. An Arabic-language film that’s part comedy, tragedy and musical, it was a surprise hit at the Toronto Film Festival, winning the People’s Choice Award. But while this Middle East fantasy certainly has good intentions, they aren’t enough to keep it afloat.]]> <![CDATA[Beasts of the Southern Wild - One of the great child performances anchors an imaginative fantasy.]]> Rather than going to Beasts of the Southern Wild, you should approach the theater with the idea of going with it.]]> <![CDATA[I Wish - A pair of young brothers need a miracle to reunite a family in a beautifully observant drama.]]> I Wish

<![CDATA[Hysteria - What’s all the buzz with ‘Hysteria’? It’s a genial comedy about a gynecological breakthrough.]]> Hysteria is the feel-good movie of the summer — not for any feelings invoked in its audience, but because it’s a romantic comedy about the birth of the vibrator.]]> <![CDATA[The Deep Blue Sea - Rachel Weisz commits the vice of adultery in The Deep Blue Sea, a drama so pedestrian-paced, it makes sex look boring. ]]> The Deep Blue Sea
