Rating: Wag

Beautifully shot, worth it for Bruce Dern's performance, almost brought down by June Squibb's overacting and its shopworn view of small-town America.

Dark elf sports great braids, Frigga is one bad ass mom, great cameo by Captain America, some funny moments.

New Format, New Rating Scale

Okay, so after a brief hiatus, we're back with a new format - the Twitter review (140 characters or less) - and a new rating scale.

Grrrrr

- A real stinker.

Sniff

- Worth checking out.

Wag

- This is how you make a movie.

We'll continue to award bonus bones to denote the presence/absence of dogs in the film.
