The Snicket movie gets the books' look right, if not the fear.

An Empire of Twonew
Zhang Yimou takes the politics out of his new historical romance. But the movie also feels like opera with the music taken out.

East Side Storynew
More multiculturalist than conqueror, Oliver Stone's Alexander the Great puts vision ahead of victory. Be warned: It's a long march through Asia.

Bridget Behind Bars!new
Desperate to propel a plot when chemistry doesn't work, this sequel puts its heroine through the wringer. Female viewers may feel similarly abused.

Kerry's Best Campaignnew
Will his new biopic make John Kerry president? Not likely, but it's one of the very best of the Democrat-friendly docs stampeding in the wake of "Fahrenheit 9/11."

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.
