Holland and Mark Wahlberg give this video game adaptation all they’ve got, but the breezy fun sags about halfway through

David O. Russell’s The Fighter ranks as one of the best boxing movies ever made, right up there with Rocky and Raging Bull.
The Other Guys succeeds where many others have recently failed as a ribald spoof of an oft-spoofed genre
The Lovely Bones is also an incredibly misguided film that feels icky and unpleasant and all sorts of wrong
Max Payne is surprisingly effective most of the way but ultimately falls prey to genre clichés and lapses of logic
Shyamalan’s The Happening is a compelling and challenging film that will likely polarize audiences
We Own the Night is a compelling if conventional cops and dealers story that hits enough high points to make it shine, if not soar
Shooter is a completely senseless but highly entertaining thriller
