Film Reviews
AKA
Eighteen-year-old Brit from an unhappy background re-invents himself as a member of the aristocracy. He's also working out his gay identity. And it's told in triptyches, too.
The Barbarian Invasions
Winner of the Best Foreign Film Oscar, this French-Canadian film reunites a group of old friends.
Hidalgo
Old-time adventure in which both man and steed look good.
Japanese Story
An off-the-charts performance by Toni Collette is just one of the many rewards of this unconventional love story.
Starsky & Hutch
Seventies TV shows live on through Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, and Snoop Dog.
Tom Dowd & the Language of Music
Dowd recorded and engineered the legendary Atlantic sound. He recorded and engineered Bird, Coltrane, Aretha, and Skynyrd. Introduced Allman to Clapton. Standardized 8-track recording. Oh, and he helped make the atomic bomb.
Twisted
Ashley Judd thriller is routine at best.
