And Nicole Kidman is a revelation.
It's a rousing film, with so much texture that once it gets you, you're good and got.
Carrey triumphs, by playing Steven as a man who plays other people.
I can't help liking a movie with chameleon reaction shots.
David Edelstein and Miranda Siegel duke it out.
My daughter forgave me for taking her to this, but yours may not.
Scene by scene, 'The Next Three Days' feels off.
The movie pokes fun at shallow, self-satisfied TV morning shows that are no less artificial than this chick flick.

The sequel to the 2007 original is at least not the dud 'Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows' was.
The Mexican film 'Nora's Will,' in its wry, understated way, is a far more searching depiction of life after death than Clint Eastwood's mawkishly supernatural film.
The movie has an aura of hipness and a cast to die (in a hail of gunfire) for, but nothing can quite get it airborne.
There's something decadent about privileged white Americans hurting themselves for laughs and extreme profit.
