"The Fall," a whacked-out fairy tale for grown-ups, is as stunning in its beauty as it is in its lack of logic. 

The Wachowski brothers have tumbled into a matrix of their own with "Speed Racer," one which has rendered them completely out of touch with the outside world. 

Like "Be Kind Rewind" from earlier this year, the small comedy "Son of Rambow" has a love of movies and is bursting with unbridled imagination. But unlike Michel Gondry's film, which got too gooey toward the end, "Son of Rambow" maintains just the right tone throughout with its guileless, makeshift charm.
 

A martial-arts movie by David Mamet. It sounds like a jarring combination at first, as if the two just don't to go together -- until you learn that Mamet himself is a purple belt in Jiujitsu. Clearly, this is a subject that's dear to his heart.  

NBCNC -- The legion of super hero movies gains a new member this Friday with the introduction of the Marvel Comics' character "Iron Man." 

The whole point of a romantic comedy is the comfort of the ritual -- the familiarity of it all, as if you're wrapping yourself in a warm, snuggly blanket of knowledge that the two attractive, charming leads will surely end up with each other in the end. 

Much of the allure of "Iron Man" comes from the fact that we are indeed talking about a man -- a real man who has lived a life and made mistakes and experienced regret -- not some scrawny, teenage boy who received his superhero powers through a bite from a radioactive spider. 

Tina Fey didn't write "Baby Mama," though you'd be forgiven for walking into it and assuming she did. After all, her face appears prominently on the movie's ubiquitous posters, alongside that of co-star and former "Saturday Night Live" cast mate Amy Poehler.  

Errol Morris doesn't condemn the soldiers at the Abu Ghraib prison, the ones who shot and posed for those photographs that shocked the world nearly five years ago, though it would have been easy for him to do so. 

The poster for "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" is the best thing about the movie, depicting the brainy potheads in orange prison jumpsuits staring in disbelief from behind a wire-mesh fence. 

One of the producers of "Deception" says in the movie's production notes that he views it as "something of a throwback to an earlier era of filmmaking." 

"Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?" It's a question to which Morgan Spurlock probably never really intended to find the answer.  

So perhaps the rumors of Judd Apatow's demise were greatly exaggerated. Following the disappointing performance of "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and the flop that was "Drillbit Taylor," Apatow is back in classic form with his latest production. 

Jackie Chan vs. Jet Li: This time, it's personal! Actually, these two martial arts masters have never faced each other before, which in theory is the primary allure of "The Forbidden Kingdom."  

Bad news: Al Pacino's serial-killer thriller "88 Minutes" loiters around for 19 minutes longer than the title suggests. Worse news: It feels like 188 minutes.
