Film Reviews
Backseat
Two buddies take a road trip to Montreal in this shaggy dog tale that was an Austin Film Festival Audience Award winner.
CJ7
Known for his manic comedic style, Chinese filmmaker Stephen Chow tries his hand at a kids movie, but sadly, the result is a cutesy and sentimental story we've seen dozens of times before.
The Counterfeiters
Winner of this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Film, this brisk Austrian film uncovers the moral choices faced by WWII concentration-camp victims selected to work on the Nazi effort to create bogus currency.
The Ruins
Four friends on a Mexican vacation discover something evil among the Mayan ruins.
Sex and Death 101
This serial-killer comedy, which screened during Fantastic Fest, is a self-indulgent, snarky, scattershot affair.
Smart People
Smart people, dumb choices: It's true for both the characters and the filmmakers in this acerbic comedy that stars Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Thomas Haden Church, and Ellen Page.
U Me Aur Hum
The director and co-writer also stars in this new Bollywood film about a love that grows deeper over time.
