MOVIE REVIEW: 'Another Earth' delivers a great brain-teaser
Manning and co-writer/director/cinematographer/editor Mike Cahill take only 90 minutes to tell a story more seasoned filmmakers couldn't do half as well with twice as much time.
MOVIE REVIEW: 'The Change-Up' blends bromance, body-switching genres well
If judged solely on originality, "The Change-Up" wouldn't fare well.
MOVIE REVIEW: 'Planet of the Apes' franchise is back and (almost) better than ever
In the wake of a brilliant first installment, a worthy follow-up, three additional horrible sequels, two TV series and a thoroughly muddled reboot, the "Planet of the Apes" franchise is back and (almost) better than ever.
DISC SPOTLIGHT: "The Big Lebowski"
Even amongst hardcore Coen brothers fans "The Big Lebowski" is highly divisive.
A Fitting End: 'Harry Potter' delivers magic in final movie
As series sendoffs go, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" sees to every last detail and dangling plot thread with grace, style and a level of class rarely seen in mega-budget Hollywood blockbusters.
MOVIE REVIEW: 'Horrible Bosses' plays too safe to be great
Too often missing the mark as the black comedy it thinks it is, "Horrible Bosses" instead plays out as a broad physical comedy with forced story devices and frat-boy-level giggles.
DISC SPOTLIGHT: Beverly Hills Cop Blu-ray
Only recently displaced by "The Hangover" as the highest-grossing "R" rated comedy of all-time, "Beverly Hills Cop" (the only worthwhile installment in a four-part franchise) turned leading man Eddie Murphy into an international superstar and is one of only a handful of indispensable early '80s flicks.
DISC SPOTLIGHT: Stand By Me Blu-ray (R)
Culled from the same Stephen King novella collection as "Apt Pupil" and "The Shawshank Redemption," "Stand by Me" (adapted from "The Body") is the grittiest if not the best pre-teen coming-of-age movie from the '80s.
MOVIE REVIEW: Film seems like an overlong 'How I Met Your Mother' episode

Opening with spectacular aerial and long-distance shots of Iceland and Manhattan, "Inside Job" quickly and firmly establishes itself as one of the most beautifully filmed documentaries ever made.
