The Incredible Imagery of 'The Fall'new
A story told by a paralyzed stuntman to an injured girl makes for one of the most inventive films in recent memory.

'Flawless' Features One of Michael Caine's Best Performancesnew
Unfortunately, it also features a mediocre and occasionally limp performance by Demi Moore, who gets a lot more screen time than Caine, which seems unfair, because she's married to Ashton Kutcher, and Michael Caine's real name is Maurice Joseph Micklewhite Jr., so, honestly, who's more deserving: someone who's boffing Ashton Kutcher, or poor Maury Micklewhite?

'Iron Man' is One of the Most Genuinely Enjoyable Superhero Films Evernew
Like most true Americans, I've spent a lot of time in the past 45 years imagining what the perfect Iron Man movie would be like. Now I feel like all that time has been wasted, because the perfect Iron Man movie has been made. (Note to film fans: It's called Iron Man, and can be viewed at local cinema-vending establishments.)

Summer=Expensive, Derivative Movies. It's Almost Summer!new
Every summer, America presents to the world its greatest product: crappy movies. Because sometimes, we need to take a break from all of the wars we're fighting and the economies we're destroying and mortgages we're foreclosing on, and just have a really bad time at the theater.

88 Minutes: Not 88 minutes long and not entertaining, but great for Al Pacino's libido.

The Judd Apatow Comedy Train Gets Back on Tracknew
Jason Segel, a hilarious bit player in Knocked Up, gets the limelight in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, a comedy that, while not as consistent as some of Apatow's classic efforts, certainly belongs in the same class.
