Some movies come directly to you, begging for your attention if not demanding it outright. And other movies sit still and quiet even as they hold out a hand, beckoning you closer until you’ve been drawn in almost in spite of yourself. Tomas Alfredson’s Tinker Tailor, Soldier, Spy , an adaptation of John Le Carré’s 1974 novel, is the latter type.

Earlier this fall, Forbes figured out which dead celebrities are still making millions from the grave . In the continual spirit of measuring Hollywood stars by their bank accounts, Forbes has calculated which of today’s actors and actresses provide studios with the best return on their investments. Can you guess the five most bankable stars in Hollywood today? I’m betting that you can name at least two…

This red-band promo clip of Young Adult indicates that Mavis Gary’s (Charlize Theron) confrontation with Beth Slade (Elizabeth Reaser) will be mean, profane and pretty embarrassing for both characters. According to my calculations, that’s a level-four tantrum in the “angry lady” cinematic universe. Young Adult opens in limited release this week, and to celebrate, let’s counting down 10 classic types of female conniptions in film. Everyone from Ellen Ripley to Joan Crawford is accounted for — but who’s the grande dame of femme freakouts?

After approximately eighty roles in television and film, four Emmy awards, two Tony nominations and countless Kaiser Permanente ads, the inimitable Allison Janney has certainly earned her place among Hollywood’s best character actresses. In her most recent film, the Civil Rights-era comedy-drama The Help — Tate Taylor’s adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s novel — the Ohio-bred thesp channeled her own mother to play the worrisome mama bear to Emma Stone’s boundary-pushing protagonist. In lesser hands, Charlotte Phelan could have been a thin character — a Southern woman more concerned with her daughter’s marital prospects than her happiness — but Janney summoned fear, humor and subtlety for a fully-fleshed and fully-flawed character who earns her personal growth.

If I had been working as a film critic in 1968, I would have warned pregnant women against seeing Rosemary’s Baby . Today I’d say the same thing about We Need to Talk About Kevin : You don’t know what you might be getting when your little bundle finally arrives, and it’s probably better not to think about it in advance.

I love when celebrities can’t behave on airplanes. Travel is the only occasion where they can’t hide from plebes, and I imagine it hurts them tremendously even to acknowledge the tiny plastic cups of Diet Coke around them. Or the little Wheat Thins packets. Three recent celebrity snafus on airplanes deserve full cinematic adaptations (including one that just occurred a couple days ago), and I’ve decided to cast them before Jason Reitman can turn their traumas into Oscar material starring George Clooney and Vera Farmiga. Come fly with these lunatics!

Perhaps it’s fitting that talking about I Melt With You means talking about all the things it tries — and fails — to be. The story of a boom-and-bust weekend shared by four reuniting college cronies, I Melt With You is driven by music from its title on, setting the perennial crisis in middle-aged masculinity to glittery eighties beats. An industrial grade melodrama with more cuts than a pound of Bolivian marching powder, the movie aspires to all sorts of aesthetic heights — from Reagan-era reckoning to Iron John implosion to feature-length video for a Jay McInerney cover band. That might make it sound like more fun than it is: Although a stark performative moment here and a cold, sexy shot there slip through, all of the film’s lesser ambitions are undone by its most risible one — to be serious, and thus be taken seriously.
