Being a hardcore My So-Called Life wiener, I'm more than happy to accept Claire Danes as a literal falling star, and Ricky Gervais, Robert DeNiro, Peter O'Toole, Sienna Miller, and Michelle Pfeiffer in the supporting cast bodes very well.

Though director Shane Meadows' understanding of psychology appears to be strictly at the base level, he depicts Combo as a deeply complex and fascinating character, torn by humanism and patriotism.

Understanding that women are complex, unique individuals, I can appreciate how one woman can embody several different emotional states.

Keeping track of the story really takes the passenger side to the kinetic action, elaborate chases, and gorgeous pan-European scenery. This time, it looks as though Jason might finally uncover the truth about his identity.

Hot Rod comes off as one good (though really long) Saturday Night Live skit broken up by digital shorts.

That said, The Simpsons Movie is everything I wanted it to be, although I did not know exactly what it was that I wanted it to be going in.

Cheadle's and Ejiofor's on-screen chemistry is mesmerizing. They worked amazingly well together as they showcased the constant tension between program manager and talent as well as the natural tension that develops between male friends.

So, I know everyone is wondering—what about Travolta? He is the only member of the cast that I really did not love in the role. More than anything, he was distracting.

Horsley's performance is truly excellent, and Clement's is by no means bad; it's just that his character was not given enough depth by Cohen.

The problem with Introducing the Dwights is that there are four, maybe five, storylines concerning a small number of characters in only an hour-and-40-minute movie.

This fifth installment of the series does not feel like a rushed summary of its namesake; it is fairly well-paced and surprisingly cohesive, thanks to some shuffling around of plot points.

Maturing from her It Girl status of the mid-90s, Posey has transformed into a radiant actress, clearing herself of minor roles in shitty Meg Ryan or Cameron Diaz films and focusing now on films like Hal Harley's Fay Grim or this.

Where Bay succeeds is in boiling a long-running, continuity-laden franchise down to the bare essence of what makes it so appealing in the first place.  The result, much like Bryan Singer's first X-Men film, is true enough to the original to satisfy the diehards but streamlined to appeal to a mainstream crowd.

How is it that the opening of a film which revisits what millions of Americans were captivated and eventually disturbed by is hardly raising any national conversation at all? Could it be that Jolie's off-camera life is overshadowing the important message and emotions the story is meant to present?
