It’s a good thing “Lockout” doesn’t take itself seriously, because this B-movie space actioner gets far more mileage out of its recycled plot, stock characters and tame shootouts by keeping a fairly tongue-in-cheek sensibility about itself, chiefly driven by Guy Pearce’s highly entertaining performance.

The Foreign Language Film Oscar winner “A Separation” outshines all the other 2012 Oscar-winning movies with its authenticity, humanity and complex morality. This astounding piece of pure storytelling stands in a class of its own as it delivers a layered, relatable and inherently compelling tale, full of raw emotion and profoundly insightful truths about human nature.
Few things have been as constant in my life as “Star Wars” has. I’ve loved the movies since before I can remember, watching the original trilogy over and over when I was little and letting it set my imagination ablaze.
