Movie of the week: This is 40

The ingredients are in place for a very enjoyable, smart, fluent comedy with wittily managed moments of sadness and bittersweet regret.

Not the movie of the week: Trance

Danny Boyle's 'Trance' is frankly a disappointment: a strident, chaotic, frantically overcooked film.

Movie of the week: Zero Dark Thirty

This is an effective thriller, uninterested in anyone other than the home team.

American movie of the week: Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln's second term has been brought to the screen by Steven Spielberg as a fascinatingly theatrical contest of rhetoric and strategy.

Movie of the week: Argo

'Argo', Ben Affleck's new movie as a director, is an amazing real-life caper straight out of 'Ripley's Believe It or Not!'

Musical of the week: Les Miserables

The film conquers its audience with weapons all its own: not passion so much as passionate sincerity; not power so much as overwhelming force.
