Film Reviews
Black Book
Although in many ways a characteristically perverse Paul Verhoeven spectacle, this Dutch World War II resistance story is more morally shaded as well as handsomely mounted and suspenseful.
The Condemned
Steve Austin stars in this WWE-produced movie about a death row convict who is brought to a remote island to fight nine other killers to the death for a televised bout.
Into Great Silence
At once eerie, picaresque, and evocative, this is a daring and breathtakingly constructed documentary about the Carthusian monks of the French Alps, who have taken a vow of silence.
Ta Ra Rum Pum
New Bollywood film about a race-car driver and his family was shot mostly in the U.S.
Vacancy
Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale play a couple who try to escape from the snuff-film motel at which they're stranded.
The Wind That Shakes the Barley
Ken Loach paints a grim realist portrait that captures the solemnity of an Ireland turning on itself and the tragedy of two brothers spiraling away from each other.
Year of the Dog
In his directorial debut, Mike White embraces the awkward with this story of a woman (played by Molly Shannon) who just wants to be loved.

Arts Reviews
Anton in Show Business
Jane Martin's Anton in Show Business satirically skewers everything in modern theatre, and the Vestige Group's production will have your cheeks sore from laughing
Plump Jack
The cast of the UT opera theatre production of Plump Jack performs admirably, but the score and direction make the glorious rogue Falstaff just a drunken fat crook
