Review: An odd kind of hero
- I’d like to see a sequel to “Hancock.” Here’s a movie filled with bright ideas, crammed uncomfortably into a story burdened by confusing and often contradictory exposition. It begins as a comedy and ends rather unexpectedly with a flourish of melodrama, but it’s never dull.

Review: ‘WALL-E’ is Pixar perfect
- What a wonderful world

The man behind ‘WALL*E’
- There’s something to be said for an idea that won’t go away, especially when it’s conceived by a man whose creative track record remains gloriously unblemished.

Review: ‘Hulk’ isn’t incredible
- If French director Louis Leterrier’s goal in rebooting the “Hulk” saga for the big screen was to distance Marvel’s franchise from Ang Lee’s brooding 2003 deconstruction of the not-so-jolly green giant, you’d have to consider “The Incredible Hulk” a rousing success: While Lee incurred the wrath of comic-book disciples with his thoughtful character study, Leterrier and screenwriter Zak Penn dispense with the angst and focus on the smash.

Review: Trek down ‘Foot Fist Way’
- Fred Simmons is a crude caricature of a human being, boorishly oblivious and misanthropic in his dealings with his adulterous wife (Mary Jane Bostic) and the students at his tae kwon do academy.

The miracle on 73rd Street
- After four “Sex”-starved years, fans of HBO’s most-watched sitcom can finally exhale.

Review: Goin’ back to ‘Indiana’
- For a generation weaned on the strange, playfully inventive exploits of Indiana Jones, the resurrection of George Lucas and Steven Spielberg’s long-dormant franchise inspires feverish excitement and a hint of trepidation. Could lightning strike a fourth time, despite the 19-year layoff since Harrison Ford last donned his well-worn fedora? Or would his legacy be tarnished by a lackluster reprise?

Review: C.S. Lewis’ second coming
- For “Prince Caspian,” his audacious but curiously unaffecting follow-up to “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” director Andrew Adamson amplifies everything — the feral swordplay, the tender (but regrettably unsubtle) moments when teenage angst gives way to unrestrained infatuation, and the climactic battles pitting the inhabitants of Narnia against an army of assassins.

The man who would be king
- Following the success of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” his movie adaptation of the C.S. Lewis classic, New Zealand-born director Andrew Adamson faced a unique hurdle in crafting its follow-up, “Prince Caspian,” which opens Friday and has a special screening Saturday at the Metreon.

Review: Stealing a disturbing ‘Memory’
- Watching first-time director Gil Kofman’s “The Memory Thief” is a singularly disquieting experience, but isn’t that the point?

Review: A man of metal and mettle
- Robert Downey Jr. tends to invest his characters with an air of self-satisfied irony, often serving as a de facto narrator whose glib commentary has the effect of distancing him from the action around him. He’s a bemused observer, above it all and in love with the sound of his own voice.

Review: Terrorism enters stoned age
- Whether “Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay” could have succeeded in spawning a franchise on its own is questionable, but as a politically charged follow-up to the winning 2004 comedy that introduced the pair as twenty-something stoners in search of the perfect late-night snack, it hits more often than it misses.
