A surprising story from South Kor...
Launching on video-on-demand today before hitting theaters in limited release on March 12, Stolen feels like a movie whose ambitions outstrip its talents.
Tim Burton and screenwriter Linda Woolverton have taken the classic story and turned it into a modern action-fantasy film -- minus the humor of Carroll, or the absurdity or the heart.
Once upon a time, movies like Brooklyn's Finest were part of the mainstream. Tough and sorrowful, they offered flawed heroes, usually cops with tarnished ideals.
Some movies provide a light snack - and some provide a banquet, a feast of ideas, sensations and images that pull you into a world you never could (an...
This film by Breck Eisner is taut, tense and veined with just the right amount of humor. It knows what it's about and gets to it, without a lot of fuss or frills.
At once a tale of teen girls jockeying over friendship, prestige, boys and their own identities, Toe to Toe features two exceptionally layered performances at its center.

Valentine's Day wants to do for that Hallmark holiday what Love Actually did for Christmas: exploit it to make a romantic comedy. Just one problem: it's not funny.
An Oscar nominee as best foreign-language film, Israel's Ajami is a reminder that things can always -- always -- be worse. Yet Ajami isn't a downbeat film -- though it is a relentless one.
