G.I. Joe: Retaliation

Mark Glass, Patch blogger:?**?Well, the recent trend in action flicks continues. 3-D technology advances make the visuals ever more exciting, while the scripts get dumber. Admittedly, my knowledge of the characters? backstories is wanting, since I didn?t see their 2009 adventure,?G. I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. For fellow newbies, this Joe isn?t just one soldier. It?s the name for an elite unit of special forces with a broad range of military, Ninja and other stylized skills - mortals ranking somewhere between Navy Seals and Robocop. Full Review

Ginger & Rosa

  • Run time: 90 mins.
  • Rated: PG-13

Mark Glass, Patch blogger:?***?This coming-of-age drama focuses on a pair of 17-year-old British girls who?ve been lifelong best friends. But in 1962, a rift starts to form. Ginger (Elle Fanning) is the relatively naive and bookish one, riveted by the looming threat of nuclear annihilation, heightened by the Cuban Missile Crisis. Rosa (Alice Englert) gravitates to the wild side, mixing a thirst for adventure with an overlay of romanticism. Ginger?s parents (Alessandro Nivola, Christina Hendricks) are having problems, as her pre-Hippie professor dad finds growing disdain for his stay-at-home wife. They have a handful of interesting friends (Timothy Spall, Oliver Platt, Annette Bening) who add to the intellectual side of the proceedings, along with some efforts at supplemental parenting.

The Silence

Mark Glass, Patch blogger:?**1/2?In July, 1986, a girl is raped and murdered in a seemingly idyllic German village. All that?s left at the scene is her bicycle. The killer is never caught. Exactly 23 years later, another girl vanishes from the same spot, in precisely the same way, creating a frenzy of angst and activity among the local police, the first victim?s mother, the retired cop who never got over his failure on the first, the parents of the second girl, and one guy who knows what happened before, and fears the same pervert may have done it again.
