The trailers, which anyone who’s taken in a movie in the last year has seen, reveal little but hint at a lot. Fortunately, the movie is a great watch even if the conclusion may leave some audiences grumbling. ]]> http://calitreview.com/6820/feed 4 http://calitreview.com/6732 http://calitreview.com/6732#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:46:41 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6732 http://calitreview.com/6732/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6712 http://calitreview.com/6712#comments Thu, 18 Feb 2010 03:50:26 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6712 http://calitreview.com/6712/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/6635 http://calitreview.com/6635#comments Mon, 15 Feb 2010 22:58:45 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6635 http://calitreview.com/6635/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6526 http://calitreview.com/6526#comments Sat, 13 Feb 2010 17:01:30 +0000 Julia Rhodes http://calitreview.com/?p=6526 The Wolf Man. The unforgettable image of a monstrously deformed Lon Chaney, Jr. thrusting out his chest, baring his claws, and baying at the full moon is one of Hollywood’s most lasting. Director Joe Johnston’s The Wolfman, also a Universal production, is a pitch-perfect reboot of the classic horror movie. ]]> http://calitreview.com/6526/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6535 http://calitreview.com/6535#comments Sat, 13 Feb 2010 09:27:52 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6535 http://calitreview.com/6535/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6437 http://calitreview.com/6437#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:21:07 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6437 http://calitreview.com/6437/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6453 http://calitreview.com/6453#comments Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:06:26 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6453 http://calitreview.com/6453/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6427 http://calitreview.com/6427#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 22:45:25 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6427 http://calitreview.com/6427/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6360 http://calitreview.com/6360#comments Tue, 09 Feb 2010 17:14:21 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6360 http://calitreview.com/6360/feed 0 http://calitreview.com/6337 http://calitreview.com/6337#comments Sat, 06 Feb 2010 17:00:59 +0000 William Bibbiani http://calitreview.com/?p=6337 From Paris with Love also has a noticeably sexist undercurrent to its detriment, giving what would normally have simply been a bland meal a genuinely unpleasant aftertaste.]]> http://calitreview.com/6337/feed 1 http://calitreview.com/6315 http://calitreview.com/6315#comments Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:36:23 +0000 Paul Comstock http://calitreview.com/?p=6315 The Fourth Wall which will provide a less formal and more immediate forum for our film critics, Julia Rhodes and William Bibbiani, to discuss movies and the movie industry with our readers.]]> http://calitreview.com/6315/feed 0
