You the Living
You the Living charts an unrelated series of tiny dooms, culminating in one big bang of one; not since Dr. Strangelove has a film so perfectly married gallows humor to horror

Film Reviews
From Paris With Love
Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays an American diplomat in Paris who is paired with a wise-cracking, trigger-happy CIA maverick (John Travolta) to stop a terrorist attack.
The Last Station
This nimble movie about Tolstoy's last days stars Christopher Plummer as the author and Helen Mirren as his high-strung wife, Sofya.
My Name Is Khan
In this Bollywood film, a boy with Asperger's syndrome grows up to become a husband trying to reunite with his wife after the events of 9/11.
Preacher's Kid
A minister's daughter wants to experience more of life, so she runs away with an actor appearing in a touring gospel play.
Saint John of Las Vegas
Although the film sounds like a sure bet on paper, this comedy starring Steve Buscemi sadly comes up solid snake eyes.
Valentine's Day
Aggressively unfunny and unromantic, Valentine’s Day’s chief concern appears to have been the corralling of its cast of a thousand stars.
The Wolfman
This monster reboot disappoints terribly, making up in blood and entrails what it lacks in heart and soul.
