'Despicable Me'
Movie criticAn agreeable jumble, the animated feature "Despicable Me" sells its 3-D in ways you wouldn't call sophisticated or witty. But you certainly notice it. Front car in a roller coaster, up, up, up, then down, down, down — aaaaahhhhAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!...Tags: Charles Addams, Clash of the Titans (movie), PG Rated Movies, Plastic Surgeons, The Addams Family (musical)

'Inception'

Middle Men
2 stars
Far too much of the loosely factual Internet-porn origin myth "Middle Men," set on the fringes of the 1990s adult-entertainment industry in Southern California, is relayed through voice-over narration read by Luke Wilson. Nobody minded when Ray...Tags: Middle Men (movie), Kelsey Grammer, Consumer Goods Industries, Social Issues, Entertainment

'The Expendables'
Chicago Tribune Movie critic2 stars The cinematic equivalent of Ribfest, Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" is all gristle and meat, featuring more leathery tough guys than "Cruising," "The Dirty Dozen" and the '80s and '90s Cannon films canon put together. Is it fun? Sort of....Tags: John Thompson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Steve Austin, Crimes, Entertainment

'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World'
Chicago Tribune Movie critic3 stars It's easy to make a movie in a style approximating that of a comic book or graphic novel. "Sin City" did it. "Road to Perdition" did it. "Watchmen" and "Kick-Ass" did it. As did "Ghost World." Except for that last one, the others fell short as...Tags: Chris Evans, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (movie), Jesse Eisenberg, New York, Watchmen (movie)

The Astronaut Farmer
Zap2It.comRugged individualism made this country. Didn't it? Then again, there are those who argue that the same classical American trait, minus concern for our neighbors, has gone an uncomfortably long way toward unmaking it. Either way, "The Astronaut Farmer" is...Tags: Science and Technology, Bruce Dern, Entertainment, Texas, NASA

'Find Me Guilty'
Chicago TribuneFor half a century, hot or cool, the trial dramas of director Sidney Lumet have established a clean, gliding visual order even when there's disorder in the court. Before "Twelve Angry Men" (1957), Lumet worked in live television, a medium not conducive...Tags: Lawyers, Vin Diesel, New Jersey, Crimes, Spike Lee

'Beowulf & Grendel'
Chicago TribuneTwo elements of "Beowulf & Grendel" make a mixed-up and unbalanced picture nearly worthwhile. One is Iceland. Shooting in various, epically craggy corners of a country that hasn't been location-scouted to death, the film's makers resort to not a single...Tags: Death, Gerard Butler, Forehead, Gaming, Heroism

'The Devil Wears Prada'
Zap2It.comEvery third movie or so, Meryl Streep does something swell--and effortless, which isn't one of her defining qualities--to renew her membership in the Great Actress pantheon. "The Devil Wears Prada," a surprisingly sharp adaptation of the Lauren Weisberger...Tags: Manhattan (New York City), Entertainment, Anne Hathaway, Sex and the City (movie), Anna Wintour
