Pan's Labyrinth

Whether you see it as a full-on fantasy movie or as a look into the imagination of a young girl living under horrible circumstances, Pan’s Labyrinth is a magical, visual stunning fairytale adventure for adults.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Fluffy and bright and poppy, High School Musical 3 sends its stars off into the world after high school in a fittingly sing-y and dance-y way—fans will be happy.

Casino Royale

Daniel Craig is this generation’s James Bond, and this spy story of how 007 got his license to kill gives us all the action, romance, and kick-ass chase scenes that we can handle.

Coraline

It’s a freaky, creepy world for our gal Coraline, and this latest animated masterpiece from the man behind The Nightmare Before Christmas let’s us explore it with her.

Yes Man

Carrey fans will enjoy this lighthearted film, and it might even make you want to learn Korean or, at the very least, loan a homeless guy your phone.

The Last House on the Left

Not a bad effort, but well made as it is, it suffers from the predictability that its predecessor didn’t have to worry about.

The high rating is more of a testament to the cast than the story itself—it’s decent, but Will Smith brings an extra level to this not-so-feel-good film.

Body of Lies

Ridley Scott plus Russell Crowe plus Leonardo DiCaprio plus political intrigue and action equal a thoroughly engaging thriller that will hopefully find more success on DVD than it did in theaters.

Juno

Juno has its moments of too cool for schoolness, but there’s a great big ‘ol heart in there that makes it worth it. Fo shizz.
