Found in: Movies, NewsHansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters represents the latest salvo in Hollywood’s barrage of “gritty/clever” updates on classic fairy tales, the littermate of Mirror Mirror, Snow White and the Huntsman, Red Riding Hood, Beastly, etc. (It won’t be the youngest of the lot for long, with Jack the Giant Slayer and Maleficent on the way.) All things considered, it’s been a brutally banal run. In a risk-averse industry of copycats, uninspired genre/subgenre streaks are not all that unusual, but still, there’s usually a progenitor, a movie that blows up the box office and triggers the cascade. With a little... read more

Found in: Movies, FeaturesThe Bourne Legacy
In a nice bit of visual symmetry, The Bourne Legacy picks up with the same image that both launched the billion-dollar series a decade ago and concluded Matt Damon’s contribution to the franchise in The Bourne Ultimatum: a body floating in the water. When we last saw amnesiac Jason Bourne, he’d figured out who he was, decided he wanted out and slipped away in the murky depths of New York’s East River. His character motivation, as compelling as it was—literally, who am I?—was played out, providing a graceful exit for Damon and director Paul Greengrass and opening the door for... read more

Found in: Movies, NewsThe Town review
After a string of what could only be called embarrassments—Reindeer Games, Gigli, Jersey Girl, Paycheck,Surviving Christmas—Ben Affleck seems like he’s ready to be taken seriously again. He dropped the high-profile relationship with the Jenny From The Block (you just know they both now regret that music video in which they mauled each other), took some time to clean himself up, got married to Jennifer Garner, accepted quieter parts like his supporting role in Hollywoodland, and emerged, incredibly, as a serious director in 2007 with Gone, Baby Gone. And now, four years after Project Rehabilitate Ben was launched, it can officially... read more
