As a film, “Jack Reacher” reflects the aims of best-selling author Lee Child, who created the character in the mold of classic loner, knight errant types of westerns and other literary and film traditions. You’ve seen this type of hero, and this type of movie before, but when it’s done well, as is in Reacher, it doesn’t matter. it’s still enjoyable.
“Lincoln” is all but a shoe-in for multiple Oscar nominations: it’s packed full of lyrical writing from screenwriter Tony Kushner, memorable performances from talented character actors, and many opportunities for Daniel Day-Lewis to show once again why he’s the premier method actor of his generation.
“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2” is easily the best film in the series. It utilizes the long-established chemistry of the cast to maximum effect as it builds towards the stunning battle sequence that makes up its climax, and even the most Twilight-disinterested movie goer can and will find themselves emotionally invested in the drama, whether they want to be or not.
