Screens Reviews
Days of Heaven
Moving pictures rarely lives up to that phrase the way this one does
Film Reviews
Bella
This two-person character study features lovely performances that are models of restraint in what otherwise might have been a soppy melodrama.
The Comebacks
A comedy spoof of inspirational sports films.
Dan in Real Life
What passes for real life in this Steve Carell film is as genially inoffensive and predictable as the average TV sitcom.
Deep Water
The documentary Deep Water tells the white-knuckled true story of the first single-handed around-the-world yacht competition.
Hannah Takes the Stairs
The naturalistic indie talker unhurriedly follows a young woman through her days and nights – Nerf-ball games at work, waiting for the bus, and a series of relationships fueled by “chronic dissatisfaction.”
Lars and the Real Girl
This movie's high-concept premise would be easy to dismiss were it not so flawlessly executed.
Reservation Road
Crime and Punishment comes to New England in this story about the aftermath of a child's death.
The Ten Commandments
This family-oriented adaptation of the Book of Exodus is the inaugural film in a planned franchise of crudely animated Bible stories.
