“12 Years a Slave” is a harrowing portrait of a man caught in the trappings of slavery. It’s heady, graphic and lushly filmed but never once does it tread into the dangerous preachy territory that slavery movies often do.

I don’t pretend to be all-knowing about everything “geeky.” I’ve never played a video game successfully that wasn’t “Kingdom Hearts” and I have a pretty abysmal comic book collection (even though I proudly flaunt my copy of “Watchmen” to anyone who cares to ask).

In a grandiose follow-up to his breakout first film “District 9,” Neill Blomkamp once again creates a socially aware movie that attempts to break the boundaries of classism.

As one of Shakespeare's most modern comedies, "Much Ado About Nothing" was ripe for a film adaptation -- even by a pop culture ingenue and television writer upstart like Joss Whedon.

The original "Monsters, Inc." was sweet, profound, witty and definitely in no need of a sequel when it came out in 2001.

Though there’s the typical monument tour or fancy brunch, there’s still 48 hours or so left to entertain your family for Parents’ Weekend. The Scene offers a tightly-packed schedule for some (family-appropriate) fun.
