A call to action
Theodore Braun’s probing documentary about the genocide crisis in Darfur takes a hopeful approach.
Incompetent Jessica Alba
“Do you think my new heart will love you as much as my old one?â€
Call the script doc
Forget whatever you know about Guy Ritchie films.
Noir makes a return
Tom Bower is the grizzled glue that keeps the picture from coming undone.
This Compass doesn't point to Pullman
Just as there are many universes in the world of Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass (published in Great Britain as Northern Lights ), so there are many movies in this New Line adaptation.
The redemption of fictional reality in Atonement
Writers grow tiresome when they (a) write about writers, (b) write about writing, or (c) write about the difference between “fiction†and “reality.â€
Sleek, funny, sad
Failed ambitions and general fecklessness characterize Martin.
The spirit of childhood in Edenic Turkey
The coast of Turkey looks downright Edenic in Reha Erdem’s meditative and visually exquisite pastoral.
Children at war
Like countless reality TV shows and other current-day documentaries, this film from Sean Fine and Andrea Nix is organized conveniently, and conventionally, around a contest.
Margot  has snob appeal
Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale marked him as the reigning bard of disaffected 16-year-olds from privileged, culturally elite, miserably broken families.
Todd Haynes’s not-Dylan movie
If Bob Dylan were a real movie director, I’m Not There is probably the movie he’d make about his own life
Hallmark cribbing
Christmas movies have always meant boring white people going home to settle lifelong resentments and eat ham.
Ridiculously alright
Frank Darabont’s adaptation of the Stephen King novella spawns a horror beyond human comprehension. Yes, I’m talking about another performance by Marcia Gaye Harden.
Not quite the Bourne franchise
Timothy Olyphant, long a garnish in films like Go and Live Free or Die Hard , takes centerstage in this video-game-to-big-screen-actioneer.
Better than generic holiday fare
Wicked (cartoon) witch sends adorable fairy-tale princess down a rabbit hole and she’s deposited, suddenly human, in present-day Times Square.
Full-blown FX
As Beowulf (mostly in voice), the reliable and paunchy Ray Winstone develops a digitally chiseled physique.
A meditation on 400 years
Lengthy, beautifully composed shots of gravestones and historical monuments encourage us to mourn fallen heroes as well as to recognize our own vulnerability to larger forces.
An antidote to intelligence and insight
Kirsten Sheridan’s movie is about Music: how Music connects all of us, how Music is everywhere, how all Music is uplifting, dammit, no matter what.
Changing the way we see
The shapes and lines of Kelly’s big, bright, flat-color abstractions are, it turns out, taken from life.
Film in the Time of Oprah
Granted, this is hardly the first Hollywood film to feature Latinos practicing ESL in their own land, but with lines like “Her smell is in my noh-streels,†it’s among the dumbest.
Meet Super Creep
This one’s a lot to sit through.
