Push

McGuigan’s lucky hand parks this somewhat silly psychic film, not at all based on anything by Sapphire, in the realm of creative cinematic realization. Visually stunning and tightly cut, with solid performances from under appreciated cast. Too bad a Stitcher couldn’t have healed the third act and attracted more watchers.

Coraline

Interesting clay-mation/digital hybrid takes full advantage of 3-D technology. Story transforms irritatingly from simple fairytale to intensely convoluted horror story far removed from logic. Suffers from complicated book adaptation syndrome. Excellent film for simultaneously scaring girls and producing fetishes in boys. Features the creepiest porcelain spider woman since Toy Story.
