A Partly Cloudy Look at the Summer Movies Aheadnew
June starts with the third Harry Potter movie, which finds our almost-adolescent heroes and hot older heroine smoking pot, having three-way sex, and road-tripping across Mexico. No, wait, that’s the last movie directed by Alfonso Cuarón, "Y Tu Mamá También," and we’d much rather see a sequel to that.

Moore of the Same, But Less Convincingnew
You can share Moore’s every political sentiment in the movie yet fail to be persuaded by his logic. It’s all associative, an argument by induction and inference. All the cheap shots and easy cuts—Iraqis bleed, Bush smirks—fail to make a coherent case.
