Tim Burton’s adaptation of the popular children’s novel is inventively designed but unimaginatively plotted
In both visual and storytelling terms, Big Eyes is the most straightforward movie that Tim Burton has ever made
Phantom Menace is big, sprawling, and visionary, and while it can’t hope to live up to the original trilogy it still has plenty to like
The Adjustment Bureau is clean and competently made, centered around an intriguing Philip K. Dick premise
Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie is suspenseful and exciting and works well enough on popcorn terms to warrant a recommendation
Yes Man represents an amalgamation of Carrey comedies Fun with Dick and Jane, Bruce Almighty, and, mostly, Liar, Liar
Get Smart is content enough to re-create the tone and style of the original rather than becoming an overblown blockbuster
Wanted is is perfect action fare for undemanding crowds but as soulless as the cinema of Michael Bay
