MOVIE REVIEW

Kieran Culkin is picking up where his older brother left off, only he's playing it smart and avoiding the kiddie fare (granted, he is much older than his brother was when he was doing movies) and going for the grittier, more serious independent films. The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys, one of two films Culkin has done this year (the other being Igby Goes Down), does a decent job of establishing Culkin's rising career, although his future is uncertain.
