The Unborn
Review in a Hurry: A coed engages in a battle of unwits with a remarkably persistent but stupid evil spirit. Probably the funniest film of the year so far; then again, it's early, and it's not supposed to be funny.
Gran Torino
Review in a Hurry: Clint Eastwood does Archie Bunker by way of Dirty Harry in this supremely odd film about an elderly, racist crank who becomes a hero to his Hmong neighbors.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Review in a Hurry: So Brad Pitt keeps getting younger, Cate Blanchett keeps getting older. You know, exactly the opposite of what happens in real life.
Valkyrie
Review in a Hurry: Tom Cruise goes back in time to assassinate Hitler! Except without any time travel stuff, which might have made this otherwise limp docudrama interesting.
The Spirit
Review in a Hurry: There's too much "biff!" and not enough "pow!" in comic-book legend Frank Miller's solo directing debut, a hallucinatory take on an old newspaper serial about a dead cop (Gabriel Macht) who keeps on fighting crime.
Frost/Nixon
Review in a Hurry: A frequently tepid post-Watergate docudrama that's buoyed by two knockout performances.
Transporter 3
Review in a Hurry: Jason Statham drives again in this wanna-B-action thriller that won't do anything but torque you off.
Bolt
Review in a Hurry: A deluded dog who isn't really a superhero—but plays one on TV—embarks on a cross-country search for his missing master. Charming and frequently exciting.
Review: Quantum of Solace Packs Action—but Lacks
Review in a Hurry: It's like Casino Royale with cheese: Daniel Craig's second outing as 007 has all the action it needs and then some, but lacks the focus of its predecessor.
Quantum of Solace
Review in a Hurry: It's like Casino Royale with cheese: Daniel Craig's second outing as 007 has all the action it needs and then some, but lacks the focus of its predecessor.
Role Models
Review in a Hurry: A buddy comedy that's neither buddyish nor funny in the early going, but finally shapes up in the end.
Splinter
Review in a Hurry: A few scenes in this indie horror flick might get under your skin, but the rest of the time you'll be bored out of your mind.
