Spiderwick is both a smart children’s fantasy and a CGI-dependent weepie.

Ian McEwan’s Atonement, now as a bodice-ripper.

Mr. Magorium is far less fantastical than its title.

Robert Redford’s terribly earnest, quite terrible war drama has an odd upside.

A blow-up-doll fantasy, better off blown off.

It’s not torture, but the latest Mideast thriller is as conventional as they come.
