Twenty-five years later, I still enjoy watching ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,’ even though it reminds me of my parents’ divorce. My parents split up just weeks before the film’s release (on June 11, 1986), and I was inconsolable. I was 19, just back home from my first year of college, still very sheltered and immature. With Mom [...]

No disrespect to the estimable Dennis Quaid, but if this faithful, 27-years-on remake ofFootloose were to have had any real point, the producers would have cast original star Kevin Bacon as the uptight preacher who bans dancing from his small town, the better to underscore the eternal truth of yesterday’s rebels becoming today’s conservatives. The new film [...]

Mike Morris, the governor of Pennsylvania in “The Ides of March,” is an image of the liberal heart’s desire, and not only because he is played by George Clooney. Morris, who keeps his cool while inflaming the passions of Democratic primary voters, is a committed environmentalist and a forthright secularist who sidesteps questions about his [...]

It’s a surprise because “Moneyball” is that rare sports movie that doesn’t end with a rousing last-second victory or a come-from-behind celebration. Fittingly for a book its author calls “a biography of an idea,” it deals not only with wins and losses but also with the quixotic quest of a man who wanted to revolutionize [...]

Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn has made a respectable name for himself over the last 15 years. With the great Pusher trilogy under his belt, and recent cult-hits Bronson and Valhalla Rising making waves in the industry, his latest and most accessible film Drive might be the one that finally gets him the mainstream recognition he deserves. [...]

Contagion’s main character is its villain: A virus. An invisible, indiscriminate killer figuring us out faster than we can figure it out. Something that wipes more than 20 million of us out before providing a clue as to how to stop it. As a result, director Steven Soderbergh delivers a tense, globe-trotting thriller that bests any [...]

With a fractured nuclear family that Eugene O’Neill would embrace and electrifying fight scenes in the not-quite-mainstream sport of mixed martial arts, Gavin O’Connor’s Warrior makes for a sturdy, visceral entertainment. It’s a long movie that feels short: It grabs you in early scenes, intense though low-key before all hell breaks loose, then keeps you riveted [...]

Snakes on a Plane director David R. Ellis goes from slimy serpents to deadly sharks in his new Louisiana Gulf creature feature Shark Night 3D. The story is familiar enough, but how does it compare to other recent aquatic outings like Piranha 3D? The stack-up is a little skewed. The story follows a group of seven college [...]
