The limits of beauty or, more rightly, the uses of visual beauty are revealed in the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s highly regarded dystopian novel “Never Let Me Go.” Directed by Mark Romanek, this coming-of-age story involves three British friends who are raised with others of their kind in a group home that proves more Orwellian than Dickensian. In time, they timidly make their way into the world, which turns out to be crueler than most of us would, I suspect, like to believe. Though here cruelty is done so prettily and with such caution that the sting remains light, giving the entire enterprise the aspect of a tasteful shocker.

"Monsters vs. Aliens" is possibly the most commercial title of the year. How can you resist such a premise, especially if it's in 3-D animation? Very readily, in my case. I will say this first and get it out of the way: 3-D is a distraction and an annoyance. Younger moviegoers may think they like it because they've been told to, and picture quality is usually far from their minds. But for anyone who would just like to be left alone to see the darned thing, like me, it's a constant nudge in the ribs saying never mind the story, just see how neat I look.

With La dolce vita in 1960, Federico Fellini created a new kind of personal fantastical movie to deal with the corrupt, newly affluent Italy. It replaced the neorealism that had dominated Italian cinema for 15 years. Three years later, in the even more phantasmagoric, semi-autobiographical Otto e mezzo (aka 8½), Marcello Mastroianni, who'd become Fellini's alter ego in La dolce vita, played Guido Anselmi, a director at the end of his tether while in pre-production on his latest expensive movie at Rome's Cinecittà.He has magnificent sets and costumes, but no script, and as he's badgered by producers, wives, mistresses, journalists and assorted hangers-on, he fantasises about his life and loves and revisits his past.

You gotta wonder about film distributors sometimes. Did the people who are releasing CHAIN LETTER, which has been bounced out of two previous release dates and landed on the same day as the highly publicized debut of HATCHET II, really think there was room in the marketplace for two movies about hulking killers bloodily dispatching hapless victims?

Given that electronic communication devices are the source of CHAIN LETTER’s negligible terror, perhaps they were attempting a tie-in with David Fincher’s birth-of-Facebook drama THE SOCIAL NETWORK. Certainly director/co-writer Deon Taylor’s visual style is marked by sub-Fincher gloom, with lots of rain and dimly lit interiors. But its cautionary point of view on the dangers of our information age was dated when CHAIN LETTER was shot nearly three years ago and is even more so now, not to mention completely muddled.

Benjamin Heisenberg’s The Robber, a muted character study based on Austria’s most prolific bank robber, resides somewhere on the fringes of the heist genre, both in terms of its abstract themes and coldly restrained style. The film is adapted from Martin Prinz’s novel of the same name about real-life long distance runner and criminal Johann Kastenberger, who tormented police with his daring robberies in the 1980’s. Heist films come in all shapes and sizes, dimensions and demeanors. The great examples, whether it’s the serpentine structure of Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing or the epically cool landscape of Michael Mann’s Heat, keep characters on the razor’s edge of perception. It’s not just about the heist, but the devilish details of the individual downfall.
