Film Reviews
Anjaana Anjaani
This Hindi romantic comedy is set in San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Freakonomics
The runaway nonfiction book that improbably spent two years on The New York Times bestseller list is now, just as improbably, a movie.
Hatchet II
There's a hatchet-wielding psycho in the Louisiana swamps. So what else is new?
Jack Goes Boating
Philip Seymour Hoffman directs and stars in this drama about a nebbishy middle-aged man with minimal social skills.
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
The director of Watchman and 300 makes his first 3-D animated movie about a young owl caught between warring factions.
Let Me In
This terrific American remake of Swedish vampire stunner Let the Right One In retains the original's keen sense of adolescent angst and mystery.
Red White & Blue
Filmed in Austin, this horror film is a love story and hyperviolent revenge freakout that is well-performed and well-made.
Robot
A Telegu science-fiction film.
The Social Network
This retelling of Facebook's first contentious steps is a blisteringly entertaining film formed of a lovely amalgam of David Fincher's direction, Aaron Sorkin's screenplay, and Jesse Eisenberg's spotless performance as Mark Zuckerberg.
