Film Reviews
Bhoothnath
Bollywood film tells the story of a young boy who is visited by the ghost of his dead grandfather.
Frontier(s)
This French torture-porn picture features cannibalistic neo-Nazi hoteliers who torture their guests.
Redbelt
Although David Mamet's new film, which is set in the mixed-martial arts fight world, contains all the storyteller's familiar motifs, Redbelt may also represent his most commercial venture yet.
Speed Racer
The Wachowski brothers' hyperbolic film is supersaturated with outrageously eye-popping visuals, but there's nary an honest emotion in sight.
Then She Found Me
Helen Hunt directs and stars in this movie which finds just the right mix of drama, comedy, and the unknown – in other words, life as we live it.
What Happens in Vegas
Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher – two Hollywood actors known for their prankishness and pluck – never manage to convince us that this Sin City comedy is fun.
When Is Tomorrow
This filmed-in-Austin movie about two former best friends moving in different directions is purposefully disheveled and expertly ramshackle.
