Soul Surfer

The film’s Christian elements didn’t bother me as much as its bland characters, lack of tension, and biopic predictability.

Interview: Jon Betz & Taggart Siegel

Talking bees and colony collapse disorder with the makers of Queen of the Sun.

The Art of Getting By

A typical tale of 1st world teen angst is saved by the performances of its two stars.

Mr. Popper’s Penguins

Parents may feel that Jim Carry + penguins is a sure thing for entertaining kids. But divorced/single parents should be careful.

Beginners

One of my fav movies of 2011 so far, Mike Mills’ largely autobiographical film interweaves honesty with humor, emotion, and the unreliable power of memory.

The People Vs. George Lucas

One of the best movies ever made about geek culture, TPVGL never makes fun of its intelligent, passionate subjects and their obsession.

The First Grader

Based on a true story, this film is one of my favorites of the year and is a testament to the power of education as well as a lesson on the Mao Mao Uprising.

Everything Must Go

Will Ferrell gets serious in this indie about a man who decides to live on his lawn when his life comes apart.

Thor

Suffers from the fact that it feels like two separate movies, one charming, the other leaden and boring.

The Beaver

A strong, daring movie about mental illness. Unfortunately, it’s hard to recommend since I’m still unwilling to forgive Mel Gibson for being such an awful person.

Atlas Shrugged, part 1

Aside from its crappy, mean-spirited philosophy that has inspired generations of republicans, it’s simply a shitty movie.
