Peter Travers gets a lot of criticism from readers who say he’s just knocking movies left and right, but this week he’s celebrating all the great films arriving in theaters in time for the holidays. In this week’s At the Movies, Travers raves about War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, The Iron Lady, Albert Nobbs, Young Adult and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and gives special shout-outs to Andy Serkis, Hugo and Drive, his favorite movie of 2011.
