Charlie Harper Is a Millennial Romance With a Gen X Protagonist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Charlie is smart, well-read and completely unsure what he wants to do with his life. That kind of drifting protagonist has been a staple of American independent film for decades; but in Charlie Harper , the archetype sometimes feels like it belongs to an earlier generation. Adam looks at the movie's strong central performances, nonlinear memory structure and the missed opportunity to let its 2008 setting shape the relationship more deeply.
Finding Emily Overcomplicates a Great Rom-Com Premise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A guy meets a woman named Emily, gets the wrong phone number and finds another Emily while trying to track down the first one. That is already a great rom-com setup. Adam reviews Finding Emily and explains why its central chemistry works, why the supporting characters are so important and how the decision to turn Owen into the subject of Emily’s psychology research creates an ethical conflict far bigger than the movie’s romantic ending can comfortably resolve.
Lanterns Episode 3 Turns John Stewart's Strength Into a Tragedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lanterns Episode 3 explains why John Stewart may be one of the most naturally formidable Green Lanterns we've seen; but the answer comes with a cost.

Read excerpt
After years on the shelf, Coyote vs. Acme finally made it to theaters, and seeing the finished movie only makes Warner Bros.' original decision more confusing. Adam reviews the long-delayed Looney Tunes film, its surprisingly sharp corporate satire, its deep affection for animation history and the human relationships that keep it just short of a perfect score. There's also an unavoidable irony at the center of the movie's release: a story about a corporation believing it can escape accountabilit
Lanterns Isn’t Afraid to Be Green Lantern (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HBO’s Lanterns looked like it might turn Green Lantern into a grounded prestige drama and leave the cosmic weirdness behind. After the first two episodes, Adam is pleasantly surprised. Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre establish a strong Hal Jordan/John Stewart dynamic, the central mystery actually makes good use of the detective format, and the series is not shying away from constructs, the Green Lantern oath, Sinestro or the mythology surrounding the Corps. But one question remains: if John Stewa
