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.

Magic Mike turns the tables on the usual movies with women as sex objects, and does it in a way that has to strike a balance between raunchy and charming. If you buy the balance, Magic Mike finds "the sweet spot."

Writer/Director Wes Anderson is well-known for absurd comedies... a genre with a limited but loyal following. Mainstream audiences, however, often have difficulty caring about the characters when the humor is so offbeat. Moonrise Kingdom overcomes that hurdle.

Popcorn Preview: Hysteria
