In Theaters Now: The Dark Knight Risesnew
On Friday night, I anxiously peered through the movie theatre dim for a gun totting psychopath. I scanned the exits, though doubtless, I would’ve been powerless to protect myself or anyone around me from harm. Call it irrational paranoia or rational cautiousness, I feared that a copy cat or a conspirator in league with James Eagan Holmes would visit death upon the audience. We see movies to temporarily escape the realities of our lives yet, while we share the director’s vision, we are terribly vulnerable to acts of violent lunacy. As the trailers rolled by, I wondered how this hadn’t happened before and how long before it will happen again.

Lewd subject matter aside, Hysteria is a charmernew
Here's a film that could easily have been tasteless, leering, and puerile, but instead Tanya Wexler's Hysteria is funny, charming, warm, smart, and probably the best romantic comedy since Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day back in 2008.

‘Amazing’ Spider-Man devolves to merely average in this unnecessary rebootnew
With the first three Spider-Man movies raking in almost $2.5 billion worldwide at the box office from 2002 to 2007, there was no way Marvel Studios and Columbia Pictures were going to allow the franchise to fade away just because their lead actor and director didn’t want to return for a fourth go-’round.
