Fright Night
My favorite vampire flick in years. Funny, well-executed, and Colin Farrell is definitely on the comeback trail. The director, Craig Gillespie, used to work for me. I'm very happy for him.

The Help
I loved the book and liked the movie very much. One quibble: it's the kind of beautifully photographed confection that some smug and self-righteous folks just love to munch on.

30 Minutes or Less
Unfortunately the title says it all. It's hard to spend more than 30 minutes with this one—even though the cast is pretty good—and the director's last movie, Zombieland, was a gas.

The Guard
A kookie, funny, irreverent, well acted, artfully directed Irish cops-and-robber tale. Be warned though—there's a lot of the F-word. Apparently that's our chief export to the Emerald Island.
