WHAT I LIKED: Like any great spoof or satire, 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery,' turns up the dials and exposes all the stupidity in whatever thing it's riffing on. Here the thing in question is of course the Bond series, so what we ge... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Someone to Watch Over Me,' is about a married cop called Mike (Tom Berenger) who's assigned to protect a Manhattan socialite (Mimi Rogers) and starts to fall in love with her. It's all delivered very well; their chemistry is tenderl... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: "High concept," movies tend to work best when they use their idea to go below the surface and test characters or themes in innovative ways. Mark Waters' 'Freaky Friday,' does just that, as it body-swaps a conflicting mother (Jamie Le... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Surprisingly enough, with a story about balancing your aspirations with your values and relationships as you grow up, the team behind the first movie found a new message to base 'High School Musical 2' around. That results in some ne... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Like most films aimed at teenage girls, Kenny Ortega and Peter Barsocchini's 'High School Musical,' catches a lot of flak, but, from 'West Side Story,' to 'Mamma Mia,' it's no less cheesy than most movie musicals when you think about... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Lenny Abrahamson and Emma Donoghue's 'Room,' is a film of two halves; one an unbelievably tense tale of a kidnapped woman ("Ma") and her captive-born daughter, and the other a meditative character study about the pair reintegrating i... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Alfred Hitchcock is the master of suspense because, rather than always keeping you guessing, his films very deliberately and sadistically tease what's going to happen before the characters catch on. Being a less atmospheric film than... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Márta Mészáros' 'Adoption,' is a film about women, whose opportunities are restricted by men, quietly taking a stand for themselves. We meet Young Anna (Gyöngyvér Vigh) and all the other girls at the care home she's at who have... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: Adapting longform novels into 2-hour movies can be a challenging directing exercise, as it generally involves chopping out a lot of unnecessary plot and world-building to get to the heart of the story. Lucy Alibar and Olivia Newman's... Read the full review »
