Competitive ice skater Tonya Harding rises amongst the ranks at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, but
her future in the activity is thrown into doubt when her ex-husband

Insightful biopic offers a plausible, if not tragically absurd explanation for the attack on rival Nancy Kerrigan; the main attraction of this movie, however, are the stellar performances, notably that of Allison Janney.
A rejected military soldier transforms into Captain America after taking a
dose of a "Super-Soldier serum", but being Captain America comes at a
price as he attempts to take down a war monger and a terrorist
organization.
Fairly entertaining comic-book adaptation with some good period detail; thankfully, the original's unflattering patriotism is toned down, and the villain is not the Third Reich itself, but a renegade madman Über-Nazi.
Maltin**1/2: "First half of this period piece is good fun, but story loses its thrust and doesn't even provide an honest ending. Evans is quite good in the title role; visual effects turn him into a puny version of himself for the early scenes."
A woman is convinced her kidnapper has returned when her sister goes missing.
Despite a not so very original plot this movie successfully manages to push the right buttons and is highly suspenseful.
Maltin**1/2: "Although this is genre-thriller material, Seyfried's strong portrayal of a woman trying to unlock the truth and move on from her past keeps it going. A couple of nice twists and an exciting finale this a satisfying, if forgettable, kidnap drama."
