Diane Lane
Unfaithful (2002)
Works precisely because it is so upsetting, unusually so for a studio film, and so empathetic for Connie at the hands of her attractive manipulator.
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Must Love Dogs (2005)
Cutesy stuff, breezily amusing but...a basically weightless and disposable date movie.
Hollywoodland (2006)
In what may be the single most damaging performance in any film this year, Affleck puts on extra pounds, a fake honker, and a horrifyingly bad debonair act.
Untraceable (2008)
Sets the tone with an opening suite of scenes that put a kitty in danger.
Lonesome Dove (TV) (1989)
Remains the gold standard for the TV miniseries format...stands among the best Western films ever made.
Jumper (2008)
If
Jumper
too often feels like a special-effects demo reel in search of a story, at least the eye candy is pretty darn sweet.
The Perfect Storm (2000)
An expertly crafted Hollywod entertainment...[constructed] as a series of grippingly fateful 'moments of truth.'
Nights in Rodanthe (2008)
It’s too easy to hold the film’s at arm’s length and scoff at Sparks’ cynical repetition of psycho-romance clichés and meteorological metaphors.
Secretariat (2010)
(To the tune of “Mister Ed”:)
We’ve had us a film about a horse.
Seabiscuit
got Oscar nods, of course.
So another race horse on us they’ll force:
Secretariat
!
My Dog Skip (2000)
Man of Steel (2013)
Man of Steel (2013)
On balance, this new cinematic take on a 75-year-old icon constitutes a worthy Superman movie and a modest improvement for a franchise that had creatively stalled.
Inside Out (2015)
Like a cross between
Wreck-It Ralph
and
Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood
,
Inside Out
dazzles while taking care to send positive messages about the roles of feelings and the value of recognizing and embracing them...
Trumbo (2015)
Plays not as straight hagiography but rather as a portrait of a flawed hero...Cranston gives a floridly theatrical leading performance in keeping with Trumbo’s wit...
Justice League (2017)
These comic-book cinematic universes...train audiences to see the forest for the trees...Enjoy the trees. For the forest is a tad gnarly.
