‘Wild Things’ easy to admire but hard to love

There’s so very much to like about Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers’ adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s beloved book “Where the Wild Things Are” — it fleshes out the original’s themes brilliantly, it’s lovely to look at and listen to — but it winds up being a well-crafted vehicle that never soars. While many of the individual filmmaking choices are intelligent, the finished product lacks that spark of magic that marks a classic.

It's raining turtles and skydivers on ‘CSI’

The episode opens with a skydiver’s helmet camera capturing his jump, his two girlfriends’ (that’s right; he had two) parachutes opening, and his failing; and then his ultimate fall into a barn. A cop calls our CSIs (Riley and Nick) to the scene, because he knows this guy — a Frenchman named Pierre — and he’s too careful about checking equipment for it to fail. His girlfriends are traumatized, his business partner (in a sky-diving business called Max and Pierre’s) is upset — and also limping and driving a crashed car.

‘Crossing Over’ into unintentional hilarity

With immigration remaining a constant subject in the news and the punditocracy, you can’t accuse the new drama “Crossing Over” of neglecting the zeitgeist. There’s so much you accuse it of, however, from a disastrous script to erratic performances to a general air of sanctimony that all combine to make the movie laughable when it isn’t flat-out unwatchable.

Times may change, but Super Bowl ads don’t

‘Get Smart’ falls short in spying and spoofing

The original “Get Smart” TV series, created by comic geniuses Mel Brooks and Buck Henry, encapsulated two of the great genres of the 1960s: the spy movie and the spoof. But now that even the 007 movies have become, if not self-parodies, at least coolly ironic, there’s not that much for the new “Get Smart” movie to mock. The result is a secret-agent satire that’s neither fish nor fowl. The comedy is only so-so, and the espionage action isn’t much of a thrill either.
