Friday Movie Reviews



Armored (Sony)

No reviews available

Brothers (Lionsgate)

Hollywood Reporter (Kirk Honeycutt): "A remake of a Danish film has much to admire but never comes together with the impact of the original."

Everybody's Fine (Miramax)

Daily Variety (Andrew Barker): "Though a bit too artful to merit the pejorative "tearjerker" label, the film is rigorously streamlined to deliver a good emotional uppercut by the end, and purely on the strength of its craft, it connects."

Up in the Air (Paramount)

Daily Variety (Todd McCarthy): "The tale of an aloof, high-flying exec whose millions of frequent-flyer miles can't keep him permanently above the emotional turbulence he seeks to avoid, "Up in the Air" is a slickly engaging piece of lightweight existentialism highlighted by winning turns from George Clooney and Vera Farmiga."

Hollywood Reporter (Stephen Farber): "Laughs and heartbreak meld seamlessly in this brilliant character drama."
