Why Rambo Fightsnew
Rambo has speed and power, even grace, which is to say it serves up its heapin' helpin' of red meat on a silver platter. But it's not just a splatter-fest. Stallone's picking up on the nihilism that's out there — the idealism, too.

There are several ways to approach Sylvester Stallone's new Rambo, and while none of them make this bad movie much better, they do make it more interesting.

Over Her Dead Body's plot is ludicrous. Thank god for lowered expectations, 'cause this pithy piece of fluff is downright funny.

The 3D and the surround sound may temporarily create the feeling of actually being in the front row of a U2 concert, but that's only if you can ignore the fact that no one around you is dancing or cheering or even singing along, all essential concert-going experiences.

'Cloverfield''s 9/11 Infelicitiesnew
Last weekend's $46-million top-grosser essentially says that its characters and, by extension, its paying audience, deserves to be killed: New Yorkers, Americans, Abrams' target demographic. I never thought I would see a movie made in the United States that was so gung-ho about 9/11.
