Film Reviews
Alice in Wonderland
Sadly, the mirth-to-muck ratio in Tim Burton's new film is deeply imbalanced.
Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?
In this Bollywood comedy, the household of a married Mumbai couple is disrupted when a houseguest overstays his visit.
Brooklyn's Finest
Richard Gere, Ethan Hawke, and Don Cheadle star in this clichéd police drama that's capped by an outlandish third act.
Cop Out
Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan star in Kevin Smith's painfully unfunny throwback to the Eighties buddy-cop movies.
The Crazies
A mysterious pollutant in their water supply is making the residents of a small Iowa town insane in this remake of George Romero's topical horror tale.
District 13: Ultimatum
This French import is a nervy, comic action sequel that weds the sport of parkour with detective work.
Fish Tank
In this raw and award-winning film, a prickly British teenager hurls herself into scenarios fraught with danger.
Visual Acoustics
The architectural photographer Julius Shulman is the subject of this documentary, but through his work we learn an awful lot about modernist architecture.
