Blancanieves review: silent style
A valentine to early filmmaking, this silent-movie pastiche is gorgeous, lush, and bursting with passion. It presents a familiar fairy tale with a wondrous air of freshness and newfound intimacy.
Mirror Mirror (review)
It’s astonishing how little crazy one needs to bring to a movie at the moment to make it leap out as fresh and distinctive.
question of the day: What entertainment “crime” would you pardon?
Pop culture is littered with offensive crimes against decency: “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus. The oeuvre of Dane Cook. Rob Lowe singing and dancing with Snow White at the Oscars. Cop Rock. Gigli. Are any of them forgiveable?

An enjoyable 90 minutes, but it never approaches the so-beautiful-you-have-to-cry sequences that have become Disney’s trademark.
