Total Recall: Anthony Hopkins' Best MoviesSome actors struggle with typecasting for their entire careers -- and some, like Anthony Hopkins, get to do pretty much whatever they want. Since making his film debut in 1968, Hopkins has dabbled in everything from Merchant Ivory period dramas to horror, moving from television to film -- and picking up an Academy Award, and several nominations, along the way. He's battled a bear in The Edge, walked away unscathed from the misery of Joel Schumacher's Bad Company, and even survived Freejack, but he's never been given the Rotten Tomatoes Total Recall treatment -- so in honor of his supporting turn in The Wolfman, we decided now would be the perfect time to look back at the 10 best-reviewed films in his distinguished career. |

Great Directors: Martin Scorsese's Career in FilmIs Martin Scorsese America's greatest living director? It's open to debate, but most movie buffs would agree that he's created a body of work that is astonishing in its consistency and depth. Scorsese's films contain many grand themes -- organized crime, male insecurity, spiritual and moral uncertainty -- and they're executed with a level of artistic panache and intimate detail that few can match. Scorsese has exerted a profound influence on many important directors, including Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, and John Woo. And with apologies to Lee and Woody Allen, Scorsese is perhaps the greatest cinematic chronicler of New York's distinctive social landscape. |

The most prominent release this week is the latest from the Coen brothers, the Oscar-nominated A Serious Man. Then, we've got a few misses with titles like Couples Retreat, Serious Moonlight, and The Time Traveler's Wife.
