★★ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - Written and directed by Taika Waititi, the film is a light-
hearted coming-of-age story of the sort seen plenty of times before. Think
of it as a less acerbic "Napoleon Dynamite" for the pre-teen set. "Boy" is
amusing on occasion, but there isn't much verve to it and its attempts at
charm come off forced.

★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - The advertising and marketing teams at Relativity Media
responsible for creating the trailers and TV spots for "Mirror Mirror"
should be fired at once. What appeared at first glance as an embarrassment
for visionary filmmaker Tarsem, is actually a quick-witted, mouth-watering
feast for the eyes that tweaks but lovingly adheres to the magical,
foreboding soul of Brothers Grimm.

the Titans
★½ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Overlong at 99 minutes, "Wrath of the Titans" follows the same
predictable formula as its predecessor as Perseus is pitted against a
cavalcade of beasts. With sturdier momentum, it might have worked on a pulp
level, but director Jonathan Liebesman grows lazy very quickly, each
challenge less thrilling and formidable than the last.
