Trust me, Diane Lane is tougher than ‘Rambo’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Here’s my indubitable list of what matters most among new movies this weekend:
1. “Untraceable” — Surprisingly watchable thriller with Diane Lane in her usual good form. But far from the “Silence of the Lambs” it wants to be.
2. “Persepolis” — The second best animation feature of 2007 (I favor “Ratatouille”) with an intriguing first half and a sputtering finale.
3. “How She Move” — She moves better than “Stomp the Yard.”
4. “War Dance” — A warm, Oscar-nominated documentary about kids competing in Uganda’s national music chamionships. The smiling little drummer boy has mondo talent.
5. “Rambo” — I saw all I needed of this character two decades ago.
6. “Meet the Spartans” — A gutter-level spoof movie not shown in advance to critics for review — and there’s your first clue.
