New movie releases
Veronica Mars
- Rated as: 3/5
Rejoice, Marshmallows: Your favorite sardonic private eye is back, grown from surly adolescence into hardened adulthood.
Enemy
- Rated as: 3/5
All the way back to Donnie Darko, Jake Gyllenhaal has had an inchoate sense of evolution about him, a tricky quality that better actors can’t pull off half as well.

- Rated as: 3/5
Jason Bateman plays right to his secret strengths as Guy, a bitter 40-year-old schemer who enters a national spelling bee by exploiting a loophole.
The Art of the Steal
- Rated as: 2/5
In this well-cast but tedious heist comedy, Kurt Russell plays an ex-con tempted by the proverbial One Last Job.
On My Way
- Rated as: 3/5
This lightweight, pleasingly low-key drama has a bit more narrative incident than Catherine Deneuve driving around the French countryside—but not much.
Grand Piano
- Rated as: 3/5
The tempo is swift though the timbre is hollow in this superficially engrossing thriller.
Interior. Leather Bar.
- Rated as: 2/5
There’s a frustrating almost-ness to James Franco, including his latest experiment.
300: Rise of an Empire
- Rated as: 3/5
