Donkey Skin

In 1694, three years prior to ‘Tales of Mother Goose,’ which set into print folkloric hand-me-downs ‘Cinderella,’ ‘Puss in Boots,’ and ‘Little Red Riding Hood,’ Charles Perrault donned “Donkey Skin.” Three hundred years later, Jacques Demy adapted it.

Film Reviews

Les Choristes

A box-office smash in its native France, this kindly and spirited film doesn’t exactly break the mold of the heartwarming, humanistic boarding-school dramedy.

Head-On

The marriage of two Turks who meet while in a German psychiatric hospital grows from a relationship of convenience into a genuine love affair.

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith

Veering from moments of breathtakingly visualized valor to outright stupidity, Sith is a vast improvement over the previous two outings, but still and all, it’s no Star Wars.

Unleashed

Jet Li, in his first Western role of any depth, convincingly plays both man and beast, although a sentimental script by producer Luc Besson hampers the story.
