Movie Review: THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 12/22/2011
THE ADVENTURES OF TIN TIN movie poster | ©2011 Paramount Pictures

Rating: PG Stars (motion-capture): Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost Writers: Steven Moffat and Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish, based on the comic book series by Herge Director: Steven Spielberg Distributors: Paramount/Columbia Release Date: December 21, 2011 THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN is a curious sort of film. Based on the comic book series by the Belgian writer/artist Herge (real name Georges Prosper Remi, 1907-1983), the motion-capture adventure gives dimensionality to the look of the original artwork, but relies on a kind of Boy’s Own Adventure sensibility that seems a little thin by contemporary standards. Director Steven […]Read On »

Stars: Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Ryan McPartlin Writer: Alex Katsnelson Director: Michael Schultz Network: NBC, Friday nights, 8 p.m. Original Telecast: December 16, 2011 There is definitely something up the sleeves of the team and producers of CHUCK this season. On one hand, it seemed as though they’d written themselves into a corner, but now with “Chuck Vs. The Curse,” it may not be a corner, but a secret passageway. But where that passageway is leading is beyond me. At the end of last week’s episode, the team at Carmichael Industries – the private spy company […]Read On »
