'Source Code': Duncan Jones' 'Moon' Follow-up Reveals His Inner Romantic Optimistnew
Jones has wisely gone in the opposite direction of Moon with Source Code -- while it is very much rooted in science fiction, is a willfully optimistic, very nearly sentimental picture.

Hurried 'Jane Eyre' Adaptation Still Shinesnew
Charlotte Bronte's 19th-century masterpiece, Jane Eyre, has already been filmed nearly 20 times for screens big and small, so what more can possibly be said about this well-worn gothic romance? Not much, apparently, but at least director Cary Fukunaga's version is superfluously good -- an elegant, classicist picture of quality with just enough sinister gloom darkening its romantic edges.

Is it Too Early to Call for a Remake of 'The Time Traveler's Wife'?new
Wife is the kind of film that inspires discussion, one that's ripe with possibility and poignant symbolism, but that's a credit to Audrey Niffenegger's tale, not the film. Everything that director Robert Schwentke and screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin bring to the table is a by-the-numbers detriment.

The Smart, Timely 'District 9' Livens a Dull Summer Movie Seasonnew
The standard action plot demotes District 9 from a potential game-changer to simply a very good film. But considering the painful summer movie season we've endured thus far, you can't ask for much more than that.

'(500) Days of Summer' Inspires the Inner Crotchety Old Mannew
The makers of the parenthetically titled movie at hand would do well to set aside the pop-culture bells and whistles that choke their film and focus on the task of engrossing an audience in a love story between two intelligent people in their late 20s.
