Movie review
'Safe House': Denzel Washington saves day in 'Bourne' knockoff

Movie review
'W.E.' — Madonna's movie is an attractive mess
"W.E.," directed by Madonna and starring Abbie Cornish, Andrea Riseborough and James D'Arcy, is fascinating, says Seattle Times movie critic Moira Macdonald, at least from the standpoint of style. It's hard to take your eyes off the clothes and jewelry worn by Wallis Simpson and the man who abdicated the English throne for her, King Edward VIII. But the movie is a silly, illogical mess. It's playing at Seattle's Seven Gables. (Thu, 2/09)

In this review of "The Innkeepers," Seattle Times movie critic Moira Macdonald notes the film has some of the usual scary cues and tense moments, but also that the setting, the old Yankee Pedlar inn, emerges as a more interesting character than any of the people. "The Innkeepers" is playing at Seattle's Grand Illusion. (Fri, 2/03)
