Movie review: Music brings the haunt to ‘Side Effects’
The music tells us what kind of movie “Side Effects” is going to be. It coils beneath what seems like a realistic plot and whispers that something haunted and possessed is going on. Imagine music for sorcery and then dial it down to ominous forebodings. Without Thomas Newman’s score, this would be a lesser film, even another film.

‘Warm Bodies’ takes the zombie's point of view
As much as I enjoy “The Walking Dead” on AMC and movies such as “28 Days Later,” one of my ongoing complaints about the explosion of the zombie genre is the general mopery and overall predictability of those ever-staggering creatures.

MOVIE REVIEW: Pat is curiously confident and upbeat for a man just released from a mental hospital and under a restraining order from his ex-wife. That’s because he’s determined to repair the damage he’s done to his life and surprise everyone by moving ever onward and upward.
By Roger Ebert , January 18, 2013
