The Batcomputer

Mona Lisa Smile (2003)
Criminal (2004)
By the end, those who haven't seen
Nine Queens
may applaud the entertaining sleight-of-hand...those who have may lament that
Criminal
is the proverbial old dog.
Happy Endings (2005)
Secrets and lies laid bare by a strong cast make Roos' happy endings cathartic and reassuring.
Monster House (2006)
Seems less a joyous return to innocence and more like the nightmares we have while contemplating the real-estate market.
World Trade Center (2006)
Despite what you may have heard,
World Trade Center
isn't entirely apolitical, just understated in its commentary.
Trust the Man (2006)
By the end, I felt empty and unconvinced that I'd spent 103 minutes with genuine personalities.
Sherrybaby (2006)
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
A fantasy, so it's not obligated to be logical, but it should at least have
internal
logic and follow its own set of rules. A failure to do so untethers the film.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Ledger slips into the purple suit as if it were an animal skin for a primal, archetypal dance...Nolan's richly realized adaptation of a modern American mythology fulfills our faith in the material and its interpreters.
Crazy Heart (2009)
Bridges ably does his own guitar playing and singing, another reason
Crazy Heart
is a gift to those who have long appreciated his talents.
Nanny McPhee Returns (2010)
One is always in good hands with Thompson, even in this kiddie franchise...for the kids, there’s not only the sobering reminder that they're works in progress but also lots of...fairy-tale magic, with a touch of
Babe
’s farm charm.
Hysteria (2012)
Opens with the legend 'This story is based on true events,' adding, 'Really.' Except that it isn’t. Not really.
