'2 Days in Paris': Woody on the Seinenew
One tends to love every third minute in Delpy's film -- the Woodyisms could have been fleshed out a bit with that imitation manly-man suavity that Allen does in-between panic attacks.

Plain 'Jane'new
It is lavishly produced and beautifully decorated, but with its tame story about true love, it comes off as a pile of exquisitely wrapped presents containing last year's gifts.

In its heart, Kong is a classic David-and-Goliath story -- only this time, Goliath is a sociopathic grownup version of the geekiest kid in high school, and the results are far funnier.

'Resurrecting the Champ': Punching His Weightnew
It's a movie about wanting to be better than you are, but its real lesson is how Josh Hartnett, at least this once, has accepted who he is.
