 May 18, 2012, 9:08am CST (“Battleship”: Who Said Hollywood Ain’t Patriotic?) Have you seen those slick U.S. Navy “A Global Force for Good” commercials with their sweeping shots of destroyers, aircraft carriers, and space satellites and its sensuous close-ups of weaponry and hardware? “Battlefield,” the latest big screen incarnation of a Hasbro toy franchise, is a two hour and thirteen minutes long version of those commercials.

 May 16, 2012, 9:53am CST (“The Dictator,” the Perfect Comedy for the NATO Summit) I didn’t see Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Borat” and “Bruno” when they were first released. In fact, I have yet to see them, in part because their “ambush” style of pseudo-documentary filmmaking makes me uncomfortable. But after seeing his latest film, “The Dictator,” I was forced to face my own prejudices. Isn’t satire, after all, supposed to make us feel uncomfortable by confronting us with the sad and ugly truths we willingly ignore while laughing at them?

 May 10, 2012, 9:50pm (Out of the “Dark Shadows,” a mediocre movie emerges) The time has come for Johnny Depp and Tim Burton to go their separate ways, even if for awhile, just like Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro did in 1983 after the release of the bitingly dark satire “The King of Comedy.” The only difference is that Scorsese and De Niro took a break from each other at the height of their creative powers while the Burton-Depp partnership is beginning to run on empty.
