Criminal is an ugly, weird, psychotic flick that wastes too many of its esteemed assets. Review by Matt Cummings WARNING: Major spoilers ahead. There's not much that the spy thriller Criminal gets right, and that's too bad because its fascinating premise and great cast are outshined by a shoddy script, marginal execution, and the sense that some studio head pushed this project into the wrong direction. The violent world of spy craft has taken another soldier, this time in murdered CIA operative Bill Pope (Ryan Reynolds). But his sacrifice yields an interesting by-product: he was on his way to pick up the launch codes for the entire American defense network, which was stolen by a shadowy character named The Dutchman (Michael Pitt). The bag's disappearance and location of The Dutchman have also spurred interest by other parties, including the psychotic anarchist Heimdahl (Jordi Molla), who desires to sell the laptop to the highest bidder in the hopes of e

The fantasy Seventh Son never endears itself, making swooping dragons, witches, and epic battles about as bland as possible. Review by Matt Cummings In Sergey Bodrov's teen lit fantasy Seventh Son , a young man (Ben Barnes) is whisked away by the dangerous Seeker Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), who believes his special talent as a seventh son of a seventh son will help him to combat the reemergence of the witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), who was imprisoned decades before by Gregory.

German actress Antje Traue has emerged as a strong contender for the role of the villainess in Warner Bros’ Superman: Man of Steel movie. The movie, deep in casting mode and toplined by Henry Cavill , already has one of its bad guys in the form of Michael Shannon , who is playing General Zod. The story is calling for a female counterpart although it is unclear if the character’s name is Ursa , who appeared memorably in Superman II as well as Smallville and the comic books, or Faora , a comic book character. Both are super-powered Kryptonian antagonists. Traue has no offer but has tested for the role. It is unclear which other actresses have tested for the part as well. Traue has appeared with Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster in Pandorum and has the Renny Harlin action movie 5 Days in August, which also stars Val Kilmer and Rupert Friend, in the can.
