Film Reviews
Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani
This new Bollywood film is a romantic comedy.
Aladin
Bollywood takes on the famous fairy tale to create a family-oriented adventure fantasy.
Chelsea on the Rocks
Icon on icon: Abel Ferrara documents the history and decline of New York's fabled Chelsea Hotel.
The Damned United
The Damned United is much more than a soccer movie; it's practically Shakespearean in its depiction of the tragedy of Brian Clough, manager of the Leeds United Football Club for only 44 days.
Disney's A Christmas Carol
The novelty of this motion-capture rendition of Dickens classic eventually gives way to emotionally bland storytelling.
The Fourth Kind
This pseudo-mockumentary starring Milla Jovovich echoes both The Blair Witch Project and The X-Files.
Gentlemen Broncos
With this new film, Jared Hess elicits none of the naive charm or flagrant silliness of his earlier movies, Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre.
The Men Who Stare at Goats
Army experiments in the paranormal become a warped platform on which George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Spacey run narrative circles.
New York, I Love You
The central thesis in this ominibus of short films is that New York is not its landmarks or its landscape; New York is its people.
Ong Bak 2: The Beginning
Martial artist Tony Jaa directs himself in this follow-up film that still delivers the moves but lacks a coherent story.
(Untitled)
High art is both lampooned and championed in this knowing satire that stars the ever-eccentric Adam Goldberg.
