'Turning Green'

MOVIE REVIEW: An unhappy teen seeking a way out of Ireland turns to illegally importing and selling porn magazines.

'Died Young, Stayed Pretty,' about rock poster artists, loses focus

CAPSULE MOVIE REVIEWS: Also reviewed: 'Looking for Palladin'; 'The Wedding Song'; 'Victory Day'; 'Yes Men Save the World.'

'Precious' cuts deep

MOVIE REVIEW: The heartbreaking, hopeful tale of an abused, pregnant teen should not be missed.

Robert Zemeckis' 'Christmas Carol': Bah humbug. Too many special effects

MOVIE REVIEW: Jim Carrey plays multiple parts in the motion-capture animated re-imagining of the Dickens' classic.

'The Box'

MOVIE REVIEW: Too bad Norma and Arthur didn't leave it on the porch. Richard Kelly's latest is no 'Donnie Darko.' The morality tale is fractured, foolish and slow as molasses.

'The Men Who Stare at Goats'

MOVIE REVIEW: This kinda true story of an experimental Army unit is a showcase for George Clooney & Co.

'Araya'

MOVIE REVIEW: The 1959 film's style is dated, but it is visually glorious and tells a fascinating story.

'The Fourth Kind'

MOVIE REVIEW: They try to get 'real' about strange occurrences. Instead they get ludicrous.

CRITIC'S PICK

'A Town Called Panic'

CRITIC'S PICK

Movie review: 'The Men Who Stare at Goats'

REVIEW: A super-secret unit with paranormal abilities? Sounds outlandish, yet this movie, with its fun performances by a big-name cast, is based on nonfiction.

New films are on the serious side

ON FILM: This season's movies, including 'Precious,' 'The Road,' '2012,' 'Avatar' and 'Up in the Air,' may seem hard to digest in troubled times, but their cast, directors and stories make them worthwhile.

'Michael Jackson's This Is It'

MOVIE REVIEW: The concert film beautifully shows what might have been.

'The House of the Devil'

MOVIE REVIEW

'Saw VI' takes a stab at healthcare reform

MOVIE REVIEW: By pandering to populist anger, the latest in the franchise sinks lower than ever.

'As Seen Through These Eyes'

CAPSULE MOVIE REVIEWS: Also: 'The Canyon,' 'Hannah Free,' 'Motherhood,' 'Stan Helsing'

Review: 'Amelia'

MOVIE REVIEW: The aviatrix loses her personality in this superficial film.
