Film Reviews
Lage Raho Munnabhai
Not reviewed at press time. This Indian comedy is a sequel to 2004's Munnabhai M.B.B.S. This time Munna "Bhai" falls in love with the voice of a radio deejay.
The Quiet
The first Burnt Orange Productions joint mixes The Piano with Poison Ivy. Perhaps future generations of film scholars will embrace The Quiet as a B-movie that problematizes the oppressive gaze, but for now, it's a misfire.
Trust the Man
With distinct echoes of Woody Allen, Trust the Man follows fashionably neurotic New Yorkers in oversized apartments as they search for happiness, love, and sex.
