Alice in Wonderland
Like Alice, Tim Burton uses his trip down the rabbit hole to reassert his “muchness”.
There is much to look at, as a result, but not much about which to wonder...
Brooklyn's Finest
Intense. That’s what Antoine Fuqua does best and his fast
cutting, depressed cop story is nothing if not intense...
Shutter Island
Up for having a master filmmaker mess with
your head? Then this is the movie for you...
The Wolfman
When all you can deliver is an expensive, effect-heavy horror
flick that’s just plain boring, it’s time to rethink things a bit...
Valentine's Day
Charm will only get you so far. In this case, even the most charming
(and huge) cast can only do so much with this corny compilation...
From Paris with Love
John Travolta kicks that pesky schizophrenic script out of his
way to serve up yet another, perfectly entertaining badass...
Edge of darkness
The most interesting component to this
Mel Gibson vehicle happens off screen...
The Book of Eli
Ready or not: here it comes. The first kick ass apocalyptic action
flick, designed for both the comic book and True Believer set...
Sherlock Holmes
It’s not going to rock your world, but Guy Ritchie’s take
on the classic detective series has got a lot going for it...
It's Complicated
Really? Complicated? Nothing so complex going on here at all,
in what is essentially another chapter in the Nancy Meyers brand...
Nine
Coming off his spectacular Chicago, Rob Marshall has hit the wall with
this musical version of Frederico Fellini’s autobiographical 8 ½...
Avatar
Imperfect as it is, Avatar is still essential viewing for
anyone who cares about the future of the movies...
Crazy Heart
Sometimes you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to steer right
into the heart. Scott Cooper’s Crazy Heart does just that...
The Lovely Bones
When I first heard Peter Jackson was to direct the film version of this delicate best seller, I was, shall we
say, surprised. However, when I saw the actual movie, I got it. Jackson wanted to play with heaven...
Invictus
Clint Eastwood has developed an almost ego-less directorial style that is
quite remarkable.With Invictus, Eastwood’s got quite the story to tell...
Up in the Air
Today, this story of people who are hired to fire other
people brings a timely punch to the gut that, almost by
accident, adds a resonance that’s hard to shake...
Everybody's Fine
Some might say poetic. Some might say, “oh please...”
The Road
Let’s be honest: go to see this apocalyptic
drama, you’re not going for a good time...
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
One of the happiest surprises of this woman on the verge delight is
that Pippa Lee’s private lives are not what you’d think they are...
Broken Embraces
Not every time a filmmaker and his muse collaborate is it going to be a cause for
celebration. Broken Embraces is a perfect example of that disappointing truth...
2012
Like all its predecessors, this carefully choreographed
entertainment offers nothing new. But there sure is a lot of it...
The Men Who Stare at Goats
The promise of this wartime comedy made me pine
for classic movies such as Catch-22 and Mash...
Precious
I was all set to enjoy a good sob over this one. Amazingly
enough, I, who cries at commercials, didn’t shed a tear...
This Is It
Irresistible on so many levels, this rehearsal
documentary delights, fascinates and frustrates.
Where The Wild Things Are
The first half hour of Spike Jonze’s stunningly emotional adaptation of the
Maurice Sendak classic is as fine a cinematic portrayal of childhood as you
are likely to see. Too bad there’s another hour to the movie...
The Damned United
Do you have to love soccer to love this movie?
No. You just have to love good acting...
An Education
This coming of ager resonates: that’s not an easy
thing to do with a tried and true formula, either...
The Invention of Lying
Ricky Gervais’ elegant and ambitious comedy is profoundly funny.
While not perfect, its sheer inventiveness makes this one a true treat.
Whip It
Oh my, ladies: how our fairy tales have changed!
A league of rough and tumble women, skating, fighting, competing
and whipping their art through otherwise terribly ordinary lives...
A Serious Man
The Coen Brothers have dusted off the grime of No Country and plunged
deep into the heart of their own childhoods with this remarkable film...
Bright Star
There’s undeniable romance going on in this based-on-history
love story, but what won my heart was not what I expected...

As a columnist and reporter, her articles have been published in such high profile magazines as Video Review and McCall's.

Joanna began her career on the production staff of a local Boston television station. She then focused her energies towards radio and
began producing talk shows at WMEX-AM in Boston.
After moving to New York, she found herself at WMCA-AM, where she served as executive producer to the legendary talk show personalities Barry Gray and Sally Jessy Raphael. She began hosting a one-minute movie review spot which, in turn, led the way to her own top-rated weekend call in-show, The Joanna Langfield Show from 1980-1983.
When Joanna moved to WABC-AM and hosted The Joanna Langfield Show every Saturday night from 9:00pm to midnight, it quickly became the highest rated show in its time slot.
From 1987-1989, Joanna hosted Today's People on the ABC Radio network, which was fed daily to over 300 stations around the country. She also worked closely with WABC-TV as a regular on-air contributor.
In 1989, Joanna decided to produce and syndicate her own radio reports. She formed her own radio production company, Joanna Langfield Entertainment Reports.
Joanna is heard and seen domestically and internationally as one of the top authoritative commentators on the entertainment industry.
