Although its name doesn't indicate it clearly, “When a wolf falls in love with a sheep” recounts a love encounter between two young adults who've lost their purpose, searching for their next step in life.

“Trouble With the Curve” is a baseball dramedy that telegraphs its pitches, an amiable, meandering character study whose big plot points hang there like the curveballs of its title. We see them coming a long time before they cross the plate.

From the outset “When a Wolf Falls in Love with a Sheep” really just looks like your everyday rom-com with the boy-meets-girl-falls-in-love scenario. It is set, however, in a world we might consider quite the opposite of romantic — stressful, suffocating cram schools.

Starring Daniel Craig as 007 for a third time and Spanish actor Javier Bardem as Bond's latest nemesis, critics have already declared the 23rd Bond film to be one of the finest in the suave British spy's 50 years on the screen.

Amovie about the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis probably doesn't sound like it would be a laugh riot — or should be — but that's just one of the many ways in which “Argo” is a glorious, gripping surprise.

Efforts to restore investor confidence in Greece's struggling economy took a double blow this week when a major European bottler and a prominent dairy company announced relocation plans.

Cheeky and snarky but with an infectious energy, “Pitch Perfect,” a comedy set in the cutthroat world of competing college a cappella groups, makes us fall in love with the very thing it's making fun of. It's ridiculous and predictable but also just a ton of fun, so you may as well give up and give in to your inner musical theater geek.

In nature, lightning occasionally strikes the same place twice. In the movies, it almost never happens. So as good as Liam Neeson was in “Taken,” as good as he often is in “Taken 2,” the sequel － about the family of all those Albanians he killed in “Taken” taking their revenge － is an often silly movie where the strain to stay credulous shows.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, two comedians who couldn't find the word subtle in the dictionary if you spotted them the first five letters, have come together to take a shot at politics. Ferrell plays ineffective North Carolina Congressman Cam Brady, who appears headed toward another term unopposed until Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) throws his knitted sweater into the ring.
