Movie Features

Review: 'The Ghost Writer' Review: 'The Ghost Writer'
Few filmmakers make a better case that the story is in the telling than Roman Polanski. The director's 18th feature, the conspiracy yarn "The Ghost Writer," exudes excellence in its confident rhythm and incisive attention to intellect and emotion. Above all, there's an ineffable je ne sais quoi to Polanski's style, an audio-visual elan. --PC

Review: 'Alice in Wonderland' Review: 'Alice in Wonderland'
It couldn't have been too hard a sell: mega-bucks to burn and choice, tailor-made parts for director Tim Burton's two most frequent screen partners, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. But despite Depp's Mad Hatter and Carter's Red Queen, the "inspiration" on display feels, well, old hat. -- PC
