The Paperboy won't appeal to everyone. But if you enjoy a deliciously dark Southern Gothic thriller, this one's about as good as they get.

Even though the film finally doesn't cohere or amount to much, I was never bored, and I have to admire Daniels for making the film he wanted to.

In an era when it's hard to create anything that's original, The Master is an original and important film. But that doesn't mean you'll necessarily enjoy it.

The narrative is crafted remarkably well. It may even bring tears to your eyes. In South Africa, Rodriguez is bigger than Elvis and the Rolling Stones combined.

ParaNorman is out in 3D and 2D. Unlike some movies, the 3D feature actually enriches the experience, which is really a lot of fun. The animation is beautifully conceived and rendered.
