Review: Stillman shows no distress with 'Damsels' 
With “Damsels in Distress,” his fourth, funniest and most accessible film, writer-director Whit Stillman (“Metropolitan,” “Barcelona,” “Last Days of Disco”) shakes off his “acquired taste” label.

Review: It feels like a ‘Five-Year Engagement’
Like a delectable meal that goes on too long, “The Five-Year Engagement” continues past gratification to overindulgence. It’s a very good movie. If a tough editor trimmed it from 124 minutes to 90, it would be wonderful.

Review: 'The Lucky One'? It's not Zac Efron

Review: Toss ‘Goon’ in penalty box
The fact that a movie as harsh and despicable as “Goon” can be promoted as a comedy says terrible things about the state of the American film industry.

Review: 'Think Like a Man' delivers man- (and woman-) sized laughs
A humorous self-help relationship book becomes an amusing and often biting take on the war between the sexes with “Think Like a Man,” based on comic polymath Steve Harvey's “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.”

Review: Disney swings from trees with ‘Chimpanzee’
Disney’s 2012 movie offering for Earth Day is a gorgeous and technically dazzling look inside the world of chimpanzees – their use of tools, their nurturing instincts, their means of organization during fights and hunts for smaller monkeys, whom they sometimes eat.
