Les Misérables
Do You Hear the People Sing?
To Love Another Person is to See the Face of God

Now, after 158 exhilarating minutes of cinematic bliss, I must admit I am a believer. Les Misérables is a stunning achievement—a rare experience that reminds us of why we love going to the movies.

Stumbling to Erebor
A Shaky Beginning to the Long-awaited Trilogy

Leave it to big studio execs, hungry to milk every cent from this franchise, to stretch one book over three movies. Halfway through this film, I felt like the whiny kid in the back seat asking his parents repeatedly, “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?”


The Green Hornet
Get Some Justice!
An Unlikely Hero Finds A Purpose

The transformation of Britt Reid from a hedonistic, self-absorbed jerk to a justice-seeking hero is a common thread in films of this sort. When Reid first wrestles with the idea of becoming the Hornet, he convinces Kato by pleading with him to help him “get some justice.”


Country Strong

Iron Man 2

When the film is allowed to slow down, a heartbeat is revealed—if only the filmmakers were patient enough to let it play out. It is in re-connection to his father that Stark gets a glimpse of how his power can be used for something greater than himself.
