Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake has same badass heroinenew
Nothing in David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo quite lives up to the menacing, ambiguous, death-metal rapturous credit sequence that opens the director's adaptation of the best-selling Stieg Larsson novel of the same name.

Spielberg's Adventures of Tintin is surprisingly funnew
With The Adventures of Tintin, Steven Spielberg remembers that even if you make a movie that isn't about that much, at least make it an exciting, awe-inspiring movie about not that much.

With War Horse, Spielberg makes his WWI movienew
Steven Spielberg adeptly captures the transitional nature of the Great War, one of the last fought with horses and swords.
The American Girl with the Dragon Tattoonew
David Fincher's remake of Girl remains as cold as its Swedish winterscape, but the actors frequently appear to be mechanically hitting their marks, often in conspicuous proximity to product placement.
Grifter vs. Grifternew
Leverage is Mission: Impossible with a sense of humor about itself. In every episode, Timothy Hutton’s gang of thieves and hackers pull off a difficult task to help some underdog. They also pull off the difficult task of entertaining us, making it look easy.

In Young Adult, Charlize Theron Doesn’t Want to Grow Upnew
A toxic spin on all of those cutesy chick flicks where career girls yearn for marriage, the latter film is the convention-busting story of semi-slovenly, semi-slatternly 37-year-old Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron), who is hellbent on busting up a marriage.
