THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST ***

Daniel Alfredson directed this Crime/Thriller. Watch Preview. Cast: Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Lena Endre, Annika Hallin, Anders Ahlbom. Rated R for strong violence, some sexual material, and brief language. Running time is two hours and twenty-seven minutes.

The final installment of the "Millenium trilogy" – Lisbeth Salander is fighting for her life in more ways than one. In intensive care and charged with three murders, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

If you've seen the two earlier films in this trilogy, this is a must see. It wraps up the story and explains all that has gone on before. If you haven't seen the two earlier films, you'd probably be ahead to pass on this one as I don't think you'd get much out of it. There's not as much action in this summation since a great deal of the story is a courtroom drama where all is finally explained. In Swedish with English subtitles.

BURLESQUE **½

Steve Antin wrote and directed this Musical Drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Cher, Christina Aguilera, Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough, Peter Gallagher, Alan Cumming, Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci. Rated PG-13 for sexual content including several suggestive dance routines, partial nudity, language and some thematic material. Running time is one hour and fifty minutes.

Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the Burlesque club's proprietor and headliner.  The outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.

The only reasons to watch this film are the performances of Cher and especially Aguilera during their singing/dancing routines . Everyone else in the cast is way in the background with the exceptions of Tucci and Bell, who have a fair amount of screen time but clearly as second bananas. Those who liked Hough on Dancing With The Stars will have trouble recognizing her in her bit part and an even harder time seeing her dance. The plot is almost non-existent but it really doesn't matter since the musical performances carry the film nicely. A large screen with very good sound will add immensely to your enjoyment.

LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS **½

Edward Zwick directed this Romantic Drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway, Oliver Platt, Hank Azaria, Josh Gad, Gabriel Macht. Rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, pervasive language, and some drug material. Running time is one hour and fifty-two minutes.

An alluring free spirit (Hathaway)who won’t let anyone - or anything - tie her down meets her match in Jamie (Gyllenhaal), whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie’s evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love.

They're selling this as a comedy but I don't think most will find it all that funny. That isn't to say I didn't like it, but its laughs are few and far between. You find out early in the film she has Parkinson's which is why she is just as free a spirit as he is...she figures she doesn't have that much quality time left. The plot is their journey toward deciding if their love can overcome the obstacles she will be facing. The film is very well done and the pacing is fine. Those who find nudity uncomfortable should be warned there is a fair amount of it.

THE NEXT THREE DAYS ***

Paul Haggis directed this Thriller. Watch Preview. Cast: Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Brian Dennehy, RZA, Moran Atias, Lennie James, Allan Steele, Ty Simpkins, Leslie McCombs, Jason Beghe, Aisha Hinds, Kathy Fitzgerald, Olivia Wilde, Jonathan Tucker, Remy Nozik, Daniel Stern. Rated PG-13 for violence, drug material, language, some sexuality and thematic elements. Running time is two hours and two minutes.

Refusing to be deterred by impossible odds or his own inexperience, a man (Crowe) devises an elaborate escape plot to free his wife (Banks) from prison and plunges into a dangerous and unfamiliar world, ultimately risking everything for the woman he loves.

This was a pleasant surprise. I was expecting a pretty run-of-the-mill "lets break mom out of jail" film but this is a high calibre thriller. The pacing is a little slow at first as Crowe gives up on the law and starts using his intelligence (he's a college prof) to develop an escape plan. Once the planning gets started, the pace picks up and you've got a real thriller by the end. Most films of this type are fairly predictable, but not this one. I had no idea how this would end until we actually reached there. Banks, who is usually seen in comedy roles gets to do some emoting here and she does very well. Neeson and Dennehy have very little screen time...blink and you'll miss them. If you like a good action/suspense film this is one you'll want to see. Theatres/Times.

HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, PART 1 **½

David Yates  directed this Adventure/Fantasy. Watch Preview. Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Ralph Fiennes, Bill Nighy, John Hurt, Rhys Ifans, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Imelda Staunton, Jason Isaacs, Miranda Richardson, Warwick Davis, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Brendan Gleeson, Timothy Spall, David Thewlis, Julie Walters, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Jamie Campbell Bower, Richard Griffiths, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Fiona Shaw, Helen McCrory, David O'Hara, Natalia Tena. Rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence, frightening images and brief sensuality. Running time is two hours and twenty-six minutes.

Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort's immortality and destruction—the Horcruxes. On their own, without the guidance of their professors or the protection of Professor Dumbledore, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever. But there are Dark Forces in their midst that threaten to tear them apart.

I've seen all the other films in this series and this is easily my least liked of them all. There's no more Hogwarts, no more quixotic teachers (with a couple of exceptions), the pacing is slow, and for me, the plot seemed disconnected, and the overall mood was depressive. I haven't read this book but I talked to a few who have and liked it better than I did, so perhaps you need to have a good background to get full enjoyment. It's obviously an expensive, well crafted film, but not particularly entertaining as far as I'm concerned. If you want to see it, the largest screen and best sound will add a great deal to the experience. Times/Theatres.

Worthwhile (or not), 11/19/2010

MetaCritic indicates the best film this week is the drama FAIR GAME (69), followed by HARRY POTTER (68), and THE NEXT THREE DAYS (52). I've seen all but the first film but think THREE DAYS is more entertaining than HARRY POTTER. Check out the MetaCritic website for additional comments on each film.

UNSTOPPABLE ***

Tony Scott directed this Action/Thriller. Watch Preview. Cast: Denzel Washington, Chris Pine, Rosario Dawson, Kevin Chapman. Rated PG-13 for sequences of action and peril, and some language. Running time is one hour and thirty-eight minutes.

A veteran train engineer (Denzel Washington) and a young conductor (Chris Pine) race the clock to stop an unmanned runaway train – effectively a missile the size of a skyscraper -- and prevent disaster in a heavily populated area.

Action fans will be very pleased with this one. The plot, actors, and pacing are excellent and will keep you involved throughout. Washington and Pine have a nice screen chemistry and Dawson does her part authoritatively and well. The destruction scenes are effective and help with the suspense. About the only quibble I had with the train scenes is I don't think they were moving at anything close to the speed we were told they were, but that's relatively unimportant in the overall scheme of things. If you're a fan of action movies, this is worth your time. I'd see this on the biggest screen possible for maximum effect. Theatres/Times.

SKYLINE *

Colin Strause and Greg Strause directed this Sci-Fi/Drama. Watch Preview. Cast: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel, David Zayas. Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense sci-fi action and violence, some language, and brief sexual content. Running time is one hour and thirty-two minutes.

Strange lights descend on the city of Los Angeles, drawing people outside like moths to a flame where an extraterrestrial force threatens to swallow the entire human population off the face of the earth.

About the only thing positive I can say about this is: the aliens are somewhat original and the cgi effects are reasonably good. After that, it's all downhill. The plot goes nowhere, so there's not a lot of tension to keep your interest high. The actors are competent but they're basically TV actors and not the calibre it takes to carry an expensive motion picture. I like Balfour on Haven, but even there he's not the lead. Thompson has appeared on a lot of TV episodes, many of which I'm sure I've seen, but I don't remember her characters. Zayas is the most recognizable, if you watch  Dexter. The ending leaves you completely at a loss. I can only surmise a sequel is planned to explain the entire story. I'm guessing, however, this film won't gross enough to justify a sequel so you'll be left up in the air. Save your time and money, this one isn't worth it. Theatres/Times.

MORNING GLORY **½

Roger Michell directed this Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson, Jeff Goldblum. Rated PG-13 for some sexual content including dialogue, language and brief drug references. Running time is one hour and forty-two minutes.

A hard–working TV producer (McAdams) is fired from a local news program but finds a job at "Daybreak" (the last–place national morning news show). When she decides to revitalize the show by bringing on a legendary TV anchor (Ford) and pairing him with a co–host (Keaton), she is soon struggling to save her romantic relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.

This is a very predictable comedy that will be enjoyed mostly by the over 35 crowd, although the pacing is sprightly enough for a younger crowd and McAdams is popular with them also. For those of us who are older, the pleasure comes in watching an extremely good cast take us through a familiar story. Ford is very good in his curmudgeon role, Keaton is good as his female counterpoint and McAdams adds zest to the plot. The aforementioned pacing is very good and keeps you from needing to constantly check your watch. This isn't an award winner but it will keep you entertained for a couple of hours. Theatres/Times.

Worthwhile (or not), 11/12/2010

MetaCritic indicates the best film this week is the documentary INSIDE JOB (86), followed by UNSTOPPABLE (70), MORNING GLORY (57) and SKYLINE (32).

DUE DATE *

Todd Phillips directed this Comedy. Watch Preview. Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx, Juliet Lewis, Danny McBride, RZA. Rated R for language, drug use and sexual content. Running time is one hour and forty minutes.

An expectant first-time father (Downey Jr.) is forced to hitch a cross-country ride with an aspiring actor (Galifinakis) when he's put on the no fly list due to a misunderstanding.

I think Downey Jr. is a great actor but his character in this film is not one you're likely to like. I suspect Galifianakis is an acquired taste, but one I've yet to acquire. Throw in a plot that didn't ring true to me, or even make much sense, and you've got a film I don't think anyone over 35 is going to get excited by. Younger audiences may go for the stupidity that passes for humor in this film but I'm not sure that's even true, although a man and his dog masturbating simultaneously while someone else watches may be more appealing to them than I found it to be. This is just a waste of time as far as I'm concerned.

Worthwhile (or not), 11/5/2010
