...sounds like a command before evaporating into bubbling electronics, then settling into a narrative that’s low on coherency but high on feeling. Animal Collective has always been in favor of using the human voice as an instrument, but here the words are deployed more for emotional heft than sonic weight. “Peacebone” is a rollicking high adventure despite lyrics like “A peacebone got found / in the dinosaur wing.” The song’s a push forward, but Animal Collective still lets some nostalgia and even...

...include a trek in which Wade outsmarts or just kills most of his captors; and there are prime supporting roles for Fonda as a no-illusions bounty hunter and for Ben Foster, who's deliciously pernicious as a kill-crazy kid. But this splendidly satisfying film finds its essential heft and depth in the taut face-off between a tortured good man and a charming villain--an existential conversation, at gunpoint...

You already know how George Miller's Happy Feet matches music and story, political message with emotional heft. But can animation deliver persuasive action and ultra-violence? Sure. Jo Beom-jin's Aachi & Ssipak unloads more artillery than were fired in three hours of the Pacino Scarface, and with fewer moral scruples; and its climactic chase, inspired by the runaway-cart scene inside the mountain at the end of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, tops that Spielberg spectacle...

Ocean's Thirteen is the second sequel of a remake of a heist movie that was considered lightweight even by the standards of a lightweight era. But if you think the heft of the material had any effect on the seriousness with which the all-star ensemble cast prepared for their roles-well, you'd be right. TIME's Josh Tyrangiel sat down in Cannes with a very loose George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and series newcomer Ellen Barkin-in her first film role in quite some time and, in case you forgot, kind of a live wire...
