Reviews of new movies released in theaters

A Little Help – Jenna Fischer is excellent, but not enough

Jenna Fischer admirably carried ‘A Little Help,’ but her fantastic performance wasn’t enough to overcome some of the problems with the script for this fairly unambitious little character study.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes doesn’t monkey around with the classic

The ‘Planet of the Apes’ reboot sets itself apart from the originals by establishing its own origin story … and ends up being better than it had any right to be.

Another Earth – Disappointing and overly pretentious drama with a sci-fi twist

‘Another Earth’ presents an interesting sci-fi conceit and dramatic story arc but fails to live up to its potential.

Crazy, Stupid, Love. – Funny and enjoyable comedic drama about love

‘Crazy, Stupid, Love.’ is a surprisingly good movie with enough laughs to balance the awkward drama that’s affixed to romance.

Cowboys & Aliens – A solid summer event

Can ‘Cowboys & Aliens’ live up to the hype based on its source material, amazing cast, powerful director, and all around geek resonance? In a word (or three): Sure, why not?

Friends with Benefits – Romantic comedy that starts strong and ends weak

‘Friends with Benefits’ is an above average romantic comedy in acting and humor, but falls into the same traps it tries to satirize.

Captain America saves the world!

Yet another Marvel Comics character comes to the screen this year, skillfully honoring the origins of the character and preparing us for next summer’s epic, ‘The Avengers.’
