I'm glad to report that I've seen the first genuinely frightening movie in some time. That would be, of course, James Wan's haunted house phantasmagoria, "Insidious."
This week's other selections include Duncan Jones's "Source Code," which is a mostly enjoyable head trip that only falters when it comes time to explain itself.
Also in theaters is Susanne Bier's Academy Award winning "In A Better World," a solid multi-character film that acts as a treatise on violence. The film has received some less than glorious reviews from critics following its Oscar win. And while I'm not sure the film's culmination is completely successful, the picture still has its fair share of powerful moments, solid performances and stunning cinematography. It's well worth a look.
Later this week, I'll be checking out Kelly Reichardt's acclaimed "Meek's Cutoff" and Joe Wright's action thriller "Hanna."
Here are my reviews for "Insidious," "Source Code" and "In A Better World."
