Screens Reviews
King Kung Fu
Production began in 1974, but due to financial constraints, it wasn't finished until 1987. What exactly the money was spent on is unclear.
Film Reviews
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
The Assassination of Jesse James may be the world’s first epic of misguided hero worship.
Dragon Wars: D-War
Based on a Korean legend, Dragon Wars is the fantasy story of a reporter who unearths the truth about catastrophic L.A. earthquakes and sets off to save the city.
Eastern Promises
In Cronenberg's film about the Russian mob in London, the director and star Viggo Mortensen relates a corker of a story.
Good Luck Chuck
Pitched somewhere between Farrelly brothers-lite and some oddball National Lampoon outing, this comedy is as familiar as it is charming, which isn't to say it's a good film.
The Hottest State
Ethan Hawke writes and directs this story based on his own novel about a lovesick narcissist in New York City.
In the Shadow of the Moon
This documentary is a cheery restorative that recalls hazy memories of America's finest, boldest hour, when we went to the moon, again and again.
In the Valley of Elah
Paul Haggis and Tommy Lee Jones deliver a scorching film that's part police procedural, part family melodrama, and all about our national failures in Iraq.
Lady Chatterley
This new French version of the D.H. Lawrence story is tastefully presented but not nearly as scandalous and coarse as the published novel.
Milarepa: Magician, Murderer, Saint
This is an old-school heroic drama from Bhutan about an 11th century Tibetan saint whose tale begins with greed and vengeance.
Sea of Dreams
She's married to the sea, and he belongs to the earth: This Mexican film relies on prehistoric folk myths and a delightful color palette for its impact.
Sydney White
Teen popularity traumas are translated here into a loosely updated version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
