Print Kurt Loder Read Full Bio 'The Secret World of Arrietty' Review: Animated Delight Could Spark New, Inventive Franchise English author Mary Norton’s 1952 fantasy novel "The Borrowers" has been adapted a number of times over the years, mainly for TV. But it’s hard to imagine any previous version of the tale being more lustrously fashioned than "The Secret World of Arrietty," the new animated feature from Japan’s Studio Ghibli. 20 Feb 2012 'Thin Ice' Review: Thriller Insures Familiar Twists There are several things one might say about "Thin Ice"; unfortunately, some of them must remain unsaid. Set in the wintry Midwest, the movie is a dark, twisty crime thriller that recalls the Coen brothers’ snowbound "Fargo" and John Dahl’s switcheroo classic "The Last Seduction." It features colorfully comic performances by Greg Kinnear (in sleazeball mode), Alan Arkin (doing a variation on the windy codger he played opposite Kinnear in "Little Miss Sunshine"), and especially Billy Crudup, who charges the film memorably as a menacing psycho. 17 Feb 2012 'In Darkness' Review: The Holocaust as You've Never Seen It on Film "In Darkness," Poland’s submission for this year’s Best Foreign Film Oscar, is a movie that drives home the abomination of the Holocaust in a freshly chilling way. 10 Feb 2012 'Safe House' Review: 'Bourne' Lite - Great Taste, Less Filling Name this movie: An ace CIA operative, condemned as a rogue and now hunted by the Company, bashes and crashes his way through colorful foreign settings, pursued by heavily armed hit men, while back at Langley headquarters an inscrutable deputy director and one of his top lieutenants are arousing the suspicion of another officer, a woman, who’s starting to wonder why her two bosses are so intent on terminating this troublesome renegade. 9 Feb 2012 'Chronicle' Review: Found Footage Cinema Grows Up 5 Feb 2012 'W.E.'
