Film Reviews
Get Him to the Greek
Jonah Hill and Russell Brand make a well-matched odd couple, and their path to Hollywood is littered with the excesses of drugs and rock & roll.
Mid-August Lunch
The director of this Italian film, Gianni Di Gregorio, also stars as a middle-aged bachelor who lives with his mother and cooks for her friends.
9500 Liberty
This timely documentary is a witness to the events in Prince William County, Va., whose board of supervisors voted in 2007 to require police officers to question anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant.
Princess Kaiulani
This costume-drama and historical romance tells the story of Hawaii's last princess.
Raajneeti
This is a new Bollywood political drama.
Splice
Splice is a twisted little update of the Frankenstein story, as well as a thriller, love story, and meditation on the possibilities of science.
