IN THEATERSMarie Baie des AngesSitting in the dark, staring blankly at Marie Baie des Anges, I kept myself awake by wondering at the state of French film in America.
IN THEATERSThe AvengersThis big-budget version of the well-liked 1960s TV series (which I've never seen) smells like something cooked up by a talent agency that still thinks a film is just the sum of its thespian parts.
IN THEATERSThe MessengersThis graceless yarn is a dull variation on the I-see-dead-people theme that has a bunch of ghosts sliming up an old farmhouse out in the sticks just as a nice family is trying to build a new life.
