The Great Gatsby Patch Blogger Mark Glass: **½ This latest screen version of the classic novel is a mixed bag of assets and flaws. Director and co-writer Baz Lurhrmann ambitiously tries for a 3-D spectacle with several lavish party scenes that Busby Berkeley would have envied. He inserts bits of anachronistically modern music into this 1922 setting. That worked beautifully in his Moulin Rouge, and hilariously in the opening joust of A Knight’s Tale, but feels …

The Company You Keep Patch Blogger Mark Glass: ** 1/2 Robert Redford suffers from a relatively mild case of Ego Excess Disorder, compared to other luminaries who direct and star in the same film. Barbra Streisand and Kevin Costner have much worse cases of the syndrome, which makes those films too long, too preachy or otherwise cloying, typically with cameras focused on the boss longer than the story requires.

Oz the Great and Powerful Mark Glass, Patch blogger: **½ This overlong prequel to the classic Wizard of Oz offers much to admire, but more to regret. Its new screenplay gives us the backstory on how the Wizard wound up there before Dorothy blew into town for her famous adventure. With the resources of the Disney empire and Sam Raimi at the helm, one might expect another fantasy for the ages. One would be severely disappointed. James Franco stars as Oz, a …

Movie reviews and movie times for theaters around St. Louis, MO.
Editor's Note: Some reviews and information aggregated from Moviefone. Stand Up Guys Mark Glass, Patch blogger: **½ It’s almost always a treat to watch old pros play to their strength in familiar waters. This crime drama with generous doses of humor and sentimentality serves up Christopher Walken, Al Pacino and Alan Arkin in one last walk on the wild side. Pacino is fresh out of jail after 28 years for a robbery that went bad; partnerWalken kept in touch, and greets him at the gates. Arkin was their wheel man, now in a nursing home from end-stage emphysema, making one of the geezers a wheezer, too. These guys were small timers, with little to show for their careers. Even worse, the Big Boss expects Walken to whack Pacino, because one of …
