Looking Closer’s Favorite Albums of 2011

Last updated on: September 30, 2012 at 7:28 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

I didn’t hear any records this year that filled me with a zeal to shout from the rooftops. (Last year’s The Long Surrender by Over the Rhine did that, and it remains my favorite record of the last several years.) Nevertheless, 2011 was still a year full of extraordinary music. Here are a number of albums that I spent time with over and over again in the car while driving and under headphones while writing…. (more…) Read more

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn (2011)

Last updated on: September 30, 2012 at 7:50 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

In the opening scenes of The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, the new 3D motion-capture-powered animated spectacle from director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson, one character in an open marketplace happily informs a stranger, “Everybody knows him. That’s Tintin.” And yet, after two hours of nearly perpetual, elaborately choreographed action, the audience still doesn’t know who Tintin is. Those who have lined up to see a comic book character they already know and love may recognize him,... Read more

Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)

Last updated on: September 30, 2012 at 7:51 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

It is a pleasure to report that director Brad Bird’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol was worth every penny of the high ticket price I will pay to see it a second and third time. In this moviegoer’s opinion, it’s easily the finest installment in an otherwise mediocre franchise. Moreover, it’s leaves X-Men: First Class, Captain America, and the rest of 2011’s glorified Saturday morning cartoons in its dust. Give me another ticket, Mr. Bird. I want to take this ride...

Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Last updated on: September 30, 2012 at 7:48 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Some stories are short for a reason. Dr. Seuss’s children’s book How the Grinch Stole Christmas tells a simple tale about a mean old grouch who learns that love conquers all. The Grinch hates the Whos, it’s as simple as that. But no matter how much adversity he throws down on the town of Whoville, he’s never able to spoil Christmas. Animator Chuck Jones made a beloved animated cartoon of the story that stuck to the script, provided perfect voices... Read more
