What red-blooded, fun-loving, popcorn-munching movie loyalist wouldn’t want Quantum of Solace to be good? After all, it reunites us with Daniel Craig’s bracing James Bond, this time (Bond’s 22nd on screen) with the great French actor Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) as his evil opponent. Sounds promising, right? And how about that […]

As he’s aged and moderated his public image, Clint Eastwood has taken to directing movies with a certain unhurried, chivalrous confidence. When it charms, people call it “classical.” Otherwise, maybe the word they’re looking for is “fogeyish.” In the clunky, overlong Changeling, a true tale of child abduction, authoritarian corruption and maternal indignation in late-’20s […]

What we have with Appaloosa is a faithful adaptation of Robert B. Parker’s 2005 novel, directed by Ed Harris and co-scripted by him and Robert Knott. It’s Harris’ second film as director and certainly a departure from his first, 2000’s Pollock. Harris and Viggo Mortensen play two transient 1882 lawmen, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch, […]
