‘Standard Operating Procedure': abuse in context
By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel
Damning and depressing, Standard Operating Procedure is a documentary that takes us into the insular world of Abu Ghraib prison and interviews many of those depicted in the photographs that made its name infamous around the world. This is a movie about the people who made those photos, the context they were taken in and what the photos didn't tell us.
‘Hancock': Superhero meets a bad ending
By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel
This summer reaches its superhero saturation point precisely 56 minutes into Hancock, a comic riff that opens Wednesday on guys who go around saving the world, one car-stalled-on-train-tracks at a time. Fifty-six minutes in, the ”comic riff“ is abandoned for something even less consequential than flipping and ”flipping off“ the conventions of these Iron/X/Super/Spider/Bat-men. That's when Hancock, drunken super savior of Los Angeles, goes on the wagon.
‘Kit Kittredge': Young viewers will love it
By Roger Moore The Orlando Sentinel
Sweet, old-fashioned and sentimental to a fault, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, which opens Wednesday, is Nancy Drew with training wheels. It's a moist-eyed children's comedy-drama that dares to ask how much today's kids need to know about the Great Depression, or a Golden Age when all a plucky, smart girl could ever want out of life is ”to be a (newspaper) reporter.“

THE MOVIE MASOCHIST: All toilet, no humor
Few filmmakers can make potty humor funny, or even tolerable. "The Love Guru" defiantly fills its entire running time with one gross-out gag after another, making it seem like nothing less than a motion-picture weapon designed to hurt the weak-stomached and easily embarrassed.
