Carmen (out Jul 13) puts loose, modern-day spin on the acclaimed 19th Century opera. Enjoyed the dance numbers and the music score of Nicholas Britell. However, it's a thin storyline with stiff dialogue. Grade: B- .
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (out July 13) is an above average, well-polished action piece. I grew weary of the slightly repetitive chase for the mysterious key (they get it, they lose it, they get it, they lose it...) but the narrative is simple, the action is impressive, and the cast make it fun. Grade: B+ .
Reality (out Jun 29) is a powerful drama about FBI detectives who visit the home of a young woman suspected of leaking confidential information. Drawing strongly from the transcripts of an actual event, this is simple, eye-opening, and thought-provoking. Grade: A- .
