‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix’ review: a dark and gloomy entry
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains fits and spurts of the magic of the previous films but generally underwhelms.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix contains fits and spurts of the magic of the previous films but generally underwhelms.

Factory Girl is a well-intentioned but tepid and underdeveloped look at Edie Sedgwick, whose life came to an untimely end at age 28.

Shrek the Third is a passable but largely disappointing addition to the franchise

A broad but mostly enjoyable, mildly entertaining comedy, Wild Hogs has its moments but mostly feels like a waste of comedic talent.

Copying Beethoven features a vigorous, over-the-top performance by Ed Harris and a virtuoso Ninth Symphony sequence

This return of the Turtles to the big screen provides some wonderful CG animation and grand design

Off-putting at first, Meet the Robinsons’ retro-50´s design (with a dash of Tim Burton) eventually becomes infectious

Notes on a Scandal is a wildly overpraised Fatal Attraction derivation from director Richard Eyre

Sketches of Frank Gehry is an earnest but conventional documentary on the famed architect

This cartoon version of Ghost Rider forgoes all respect for the source material and does succeed in a Schumacher-Batman kind of way

This big, flashy, flawlessly produced musical starts out wonderfully but loses us along the way

Joe Carnahan’s Smokin’ Aces has drawn comparisons to Tarantino, but owes much more to Guy Ritchie
