Review: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER

There's something about superheroes that's been lost over the years. We never grew to love them simply because we thought they were cool, or because they beat up the bad guys. These things were part of it, but the real reason we've always been drawn to them is the fact that we can relate to them, and see them as real people. In the characters of Joe Johnston's Captain America, we find a return to that nostalgia - a return to what makes superhero movies so great.

Early Review: THE LOVELY BONES

Watching Peter Jackson's The Lovely Bones is like dreaming. Sometimes you feel like what is happening is of the most dire importance of your life, and other times you are barely paying attention. Sometimes you begin to space out as the scenes drag on, and other times your leg jerks uncontrollably as your brain experiences psychological panic. And every now and then, you go from idea to idea, scene to scene, and though everything seems disconnected and random, you never really think about it until you have woken up.
