  1. Student's short film predicts a long career

    One of the best films I saw at Cannes earlier this month lasts all of 21 minutes and was shot last summer in Chicago by an Iranian writer-director of quiet but enormous talent. Anahita Ghazvinizadeh's "Needle" concerns a 6th-grader, played by Florence...

  2. Topsy-turvy romance 'Upside Down' turns out to be a bit flat ★★

    All you need is love, according to "Upside Down," to save your planet from the dystopian doldrums. Nice sentiment: Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," among others, got there first.

  4. 'Cloud Atlas'? Shrug ★★ 1/2

    A big-budget film's marketing mission is simple: Eliminate the idea of an unsuspecting audience. Did people know what they were getting when they got "Transformers: Dark of the Moon"? Yes. They got what they were shown in the 30-second ads, over and over and over.

  5. 'The Hunger Games' adaptation hits the target ✭✭✭

    The hypocrisy at the heart of "The Hunger Games" is irresistible. Novelist Suzanne Collins, whose trilogy has been decreed "awesome" by, among others, my 5th grade son, indicts violence and organized brutality as tools of mass-audience manipulation.

And land mines. And fearsome dogs, conjured by the dogs of the totalitarian state.
