Opening This Week: Hop Nationwide - Kids will be drawn to "Hop" as Easter nears, no doubt about it. It won't be an offensive waste of time for anyone, but there is no denying how much better it might have been with an extra screenplay polish and a greater willingness from director Tim Hill to think outside the box. Insidious Nationwide - As uneven as "Insidious" sometimes is, it can also be dread-inducingly, cling-to-your-armrest scary. Tiny Tim's legacy might not have been to terrify the living hell out of people, but that is what it will be once this movie gets done with him. Source Code Nationwide - The moviegoing public needs more Hollywood films like "Source Code." The screenplay is trim and compact, not a second wasted, but it is the striking appeal of Jake Gyllenhaal and Michelle Monaghan that raises the film above the level of a crafty technical exercise. |
