'Fantastic Mr. Fox'

Our rating:

The news that Wes Anderson, the custom-tailored arch auteur of urban awkwardness and fractured family in films like "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums," would be adapting a stop-motion animated adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's saga "Fantastic Mr. Fox" sounded, at first, crazy ...

	Old Dogs Our Rating: "Nothing ... should get in the way of 'Old Dogs' claiming [worst film of the year]. It is an irredeemable affair." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Ninja Assassin Our Rating: "... no amount of CGI'd gore can save 'Assassin' from being dramatically lame, visually impaired and kinetically flat-footed." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Road Our Rating: "... an honorable failure, given there was never any real hope of translating [Cormac] McCarthy's style-driven novel into film ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Twilight Saga: New Moon Our Rating: ... a less pretentious movie than its predecessor. Writer Melissa Rosenberg... has loosened up a bit. Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Blind Side Our Rating: "... you can feel it earn every yard like an offensive drive in football, darting and weaving through cynicism, sentimentality and laziness ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Planet 51 Our Rating: "... will appeal only to people who think immersing a hapless infant in multicolored Jell-O for 90 minutes is a good thing." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes 2012 Our Rating: "... a high-octane, big-screen soft-core guilty pleasure orgy of destruction ... [with] something like a plot ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Pirate Radio Our Rating: "All that really anchors the slight story line ... are deliciously flamboyant personalities and a smokin' soundtrack ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes \| DVD Disney's A Christmas Carol Our Rating: "If Dickens had been capable of time travel, back in his day ... I'm guessing he'd get a kick out of this 'Carol.'" Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire Our Rating: "... a mixed bag ... doesn't so much evolve as flip-flop into sunlight ..." Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Men Who Stare at Goats Our Rating: "... may result in your falling down laughing, courtesy of a devilishly smart script, subversive japery and a flawlessly funny cast. " Full Review Trailers & Clips \| Photos \| Reviews \| Showtimes The Box Our Rating: "... a lot of both the fun and fear go out of the film as you feel it stumble towards the finish line and realize it's stuffed with recycled goods.
