The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn (PG)
(Steven Spielberg, 2011, Us/Nz) Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost. 107 mins.
If you forget Hergé's sacred source material and forgive the occasional creepiness of the animation, there's good fun to be had here. Guided by Spielberg's visual command, it's a boys' adventure with an Indiana Jones/Pirates Of The Caribbean rambunctiousness to it – a fast mix of dazzling action and comedy alcoholism that builds up so much momentum, it barely knows when to stop.
The Help (12A)
(Tate Taylor, 2011, Us) Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Bryce Dallas Howard. 146 mins.
The feelgood hit of the Us summer puts a cheery gloss on the civil rights era, as a Mississippi woman scandalously documents the woes of black maids.
The Ides Of March (15)
(George Clooney, 2011, Us) Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Evan Rachel Wood. 101 mins.

Holy crap. I didn’t know being a beauty queen was this hard. Just kidding, of course, though for Stephanie Sigman’s Laura, her dreams of being a beauty queen is on par with going to war. Some very bad men want her to do some very bad things, and it’s definitely not for the weak of heart. I’d like to think there’s a happy ending at the end of this tale for our beauty queen, but let’s face it, that’s probably not in the cards. Check out some images and the English-subtitled trailer for director Gerardo Naranjo’s “Miss Bala”. The story of a young woman clinging on to her dream to become a beauty contest queen in a Mexico dominated by organized crime…Miss Bala explores the many extremes of modern Mexican society when the world of beauty pageants and the current drug war collide.

Late last night I posted the first UK trailer for Lars von Trier's Melancholia. In my post I mentioned that the film had been a bit overshadowed by its publicity, as the director was notoriously kicked out of the Cannes Film Festival for for remarks about Nazis that were deemed "unacceptable, intolerable, and contrary to the ideals of humanity and generosity that preside over the very existence of the festival." Tonight we have yet another film that had its premiere at the French festival but we haven't heard much from since: Gerardo Naranjo's Miss Bala. Starring Stephanie Sigman, Irene Azuela and Miguel Couturier, the film is about a girl who dreams of being a beauty pageant champion. One night, while out at a dance club, she witnesses an absolute massacre, of which she is the only survivor. The criminals then take her hostage and use her as a drug runner.

Miss Bala Trailer. Gerardo Naranjo‘s Miss Bala (2011) movie trailer stars Stephanie Sigman, Irene Azuela, Miguel Couturier, James Russo, and Jose Yenque. Miss Bala‘s plot synopsis: “The story of a young woman clinging on to her dream to become a beauty contest queen in a Mexico dominated by organized crime…Miss Bala explores the many extremes of modern Mexican society when the world of beauty pageants and the current drug war collide.”
This looks really good, a mixture of Maria Full of Grace and City of God. It look like Laura Guerrero’s dreams become intermingled with a nightmare.
More on Miss Bala:
Reviews have pegged Miss Bala as a film that savagely depicts the drug wars that have ravaged parts of Mexico. At the same time, they praise the film’s complex scripting and characterization, which don’t reduce the participants to caricatures or simple outlines. It...
