Beasts of the Southern Wild Review
A special film that juggles laughter, sentiment and sadness without dropping any of the balls. Take note, indies.

Who knew that witnessing the end of the world could be so uplifting?
Quite possibly the best darn "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" movie you could hope for. Assuming, of course, you’re hoping for that.
A funny little movie – about a guy who seeks a partner for time travel – that sidesteps the typical trappings of a quirky indie.
This typical Adam Sandler vehicle delivers the requisite laughs, but what works as a series of skits doesn’t necessary make a good movie.
Though not a purebred prequel, "Prometheus" shares enough DNA with "Alien" to show an obvious family resemblance.
Even the considerable imagination and investment on display here can’t make this fairytale character – or Kristen Stewart – a viable movie star.
Bobcat Goldthwait turns out to be a better director than a stand-up comic in this vengeance-filled satire.
"Paranormal Activity" creator Oren Peli abandons the found-footage format for a more traditional – and sadly cliche-ridden – horror movie.
This third entry in the series is considerably better than MIB2, but the time travel plot may have you yearning to go back and watch the first one.
