TRON: Legacy Review
The new "TRON" sequel looks like a stunningly beautiful car commercial or a vodka ad – but that’s not enough to sustain the film, which quickly dulls after you leave the games arena.

A love triangle with the no tension, no comedy, and zero romance. If that appeals to you, you deserve what you get when you see it.
This disappointing Coen Brothers foray into the Western genre has little of the Brothers’ trademark quality and barely improves on the John Wayne original.
If the thought of watching a film about how the Duke of York overcame his vocal impediment and gave one of the pivotal speeches of World War II already has you clicking elsewhere, then director Tom Hooper’s masterfully-crafted biopic may not be for you. You’ll be missing out.
A boy dies and we watch his parents deal with it. What sounds like melodramatic hooey is actually good stuff because of a nice performance by Nicole Kidman, fine writing, and quiet direction.
Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie play cat-and-mouse games in this adequate, if less than inspired, throwback.
It’s back to "Narnia" in the third installment of this competent, if not particularly good, franchise.
Like two well-matched pugilists, this boxing pic’s strengths and weaknesses wear each other down.
Biopic about former welterweight champ Micky Ward has neither the subtle heart of "Rocky" nor the brutality of "Raging Bull", but it does possess an achingly real performance from Amy Adams that’s a complete knockout.
A colorful character reviews his life through his own flashbacks of his three marriages. Sometimes it’s funny. Other times, it’s a bit strained.
