| Posted: Launching a fantasy franchise with the bankability of a "Harry Potter" or "Lord of the Rings" can be a tricky proposition, as demonstrated with "The Golden Compass," but "The Spiderwick Chronicles," based on the series of imaginative young people's books by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black, could just be the ticket. |
| Posted: At 190 minutes, it is so fanatically faithful in tracing the roots of Japan's left-wing movement and ensuing fractured radicalism that it is a physical and emotional long haul for any viewer. |
| Posted: Wang's habit of keeping narrative rhythm at an even keel and the deliberate muffling of emotional intensity make the cinematic result a bit anemic. |
| Posted: Fernando Eimbcke's carefully crafted film hits many of the same marks as his well-liked debut "Duck Season" but with a little less verve. |
| Posted: As Julia, Tilda Swinton belongs to that league of great cinematic alcoholics such as Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick in "Days of Wine and Roses" and Ray Milland in "The Lost Weekend." |
| Posted: Ogigami gives the characters and the audience space for imagination. Suffice that everyone needs to take a break and unwind. |
| Posted: The ferocious grip that cultural and religious training has on its subjects becomes frighteningly clear. |
| Posted: The setting amid Turkish immigrants in Germany is atmospheric, and the grim and violent episodes familiar in such tales are quite well done. |
