Film Reviews
Heroes
In this new Bollywood film, two young men embark on a journey during which they learn many things, among them the meaning of patriotism.
I.O.U.S.A.
This documentary manages to do something damn near impossible: make the subject of the U.S. national debt understandable and, moreover, render it interesting and urgent.
Max Payne
Film version of the popular video game stars Mark Wahlberg … unfortunately.
The Order of Myths
This smart and subtle documentary looks at the ingrained traditions of racial segregation that still remain in the dual Mardi Gras celebrations in Mobile, Ala.
Pride and Glory
Edward Norton and Colin Farrell top this predictable police procedural about clean and dirty cops who are also brothers in a family of Irish cops.
Roadside Romeo
This animated Bollywood film about a pampered dog who is abandoned in Mumbai was partially financed by Walt Disney Pictures.
