Paper Man

Reynolds’ blue lantern is the highlight of Older Lars and the Unreal Guy. Kudrow and Daniels make a convincing Door in the Floor couple redux, and Emma Stone cements her status as the go-to indie girl. Clever cutting, heartfelt characters and a clever twist carry a sometimes overly redundant film.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World

George Michael vs. Anne (Bland), Superman, and Human Torch in stylized masterpiece from Edgar ‘Shaun’ Wright. Cera gives depth to his usual character. Uses incredible stylization to compliment, not replace, content but periodically goes too far. Struggles to top opening fights and premature Evans introduction but still manages admirably. Epic!
