Oscar nominations: 'Lincoln' leads Academy Award contenders with 12
With a conspicuous diss of Kathryn Bigelow, the un-nominated director of “Zero Dark Thirty,” the Academy Awards nominations were announced Thursday morning. “Zero Dark Thirty” was one of nine films given the best picture...

When movies feel like TV
Last month after a screening, even as the lights came up in the theater, I could feel "Zero Dark Thirty" fading, its images and impact already softening in my head. No, no, wait: not fading — mingling. If our cultural experiences rub shoulders at...

To the screen, and back again
I'm 51 and Bilbo-free. Somehow "The Hobbit" has eluded me my entire reading life. What was I reading in junior high when I first noticed everyone else was reading it? "Big A: The Story of Lew Alcindor," maybe. Or William K. Everson's book on Laurel &...

Swedes make a mean cup of joe
Here's a tasty legacy from the visit I shared with some of my Swedish cousins a few weeks ago: Gevalia! It's a brand of coffee in Sweden, and it's good to the last drop. I had it when I was in Sweden two years ago and sort of forgot about it because I...

'Silver Linings Playbook' review: A wonderful romantic comedy about mental health?
***1/2 (out of four) I don’t love the title. Yet I’m highly in favor of almost everything else about “Silver Linings Playbook,” which turns grief and mental illness into rich fodder for warmth, connection and comedy. That’s...

Chris Tucker interview for 'Silver Linings Playbook'
Anyone looking for the loud, boisterous version of Chris Tucker may be disappointed. Asked to tell me a joke, Tucker’s delivery is so understated I react late to the punchline, expecting something juicier than, “I went to a psychic and she...

'The Words' review: Bradley Cooper comes to life in a thoughtful movie about dreams and guilt
*** (out of four) It’s been years, maybe around the time of “Wedding Crashers,” since the once-charismatic "PECLB0000005706">Bradley Cooper (“The Hangover”) truly held the screen rather than merely existing on it as...

'The Words' bound by a purloined book ★★ 1/2
"The Words" is a peculiar, old-school beast to encounter in the movie year 2012, lacking utterly in computer-generated effects, not to mention Avengers and masked superheroes in general. It's more or less a grown-up picture, and not bad at that, though...

Q&A: 'Hit and Run' star/writer/co-director Dax Shepard
Since tackling more serious material than, say, “Without a Paddle” or “Employee of the Month,” with the excellent indie “The Freebie” and NBC’s solid “Parenthood,” Dax Shepard has noticed that...

'Hit and Run' review: Dopey action-comedy features a car with a missing engine. How fitting.
** (out of four) Star/writer/co-director Dax Shepard’s “Hit and Run” possesses such a sheepish, hey-man-I’m-trying-here charm that deriding it feels a little like poking a puppy. However, a chase movie should never be sluggish,...

'Hit & Run': Retro plot takes wrong turn ★ 1/2
In adolescence many of us were cinematically weaned on (or permanently stunted by; I'll let the courts decide) the likes of "Dirty Mary Crazy Larry" and "Gone in Sixty Seconds," rough-edged and disreputable time-killers whose co-stars were whatever the...
