Film Reviews
Action Replayy
This Bollywood film mixes science fiction and romantic comedy.
Due Date
Road comedy hits the sweet spot with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis.
Fair Game
The performances of Sean Penn and Naomi Watts make this film rendition of the Valerie Plame affair a study in acting.
Four Lions
This very black comedy about a group of bumbling jihadists is farce that ain't foolin' from the mind of British satirist Chris Morris.
Golmaal 3
Warring siblings are the subject of this Bollywood comedy.
Inside Job
This documentary, which is narrated by Matt Damon, illuminates the U.S. economic crisis with detailed yet engaging analysis.
Megamind
This animated film is vibrant and exceedingly clever, but also a rather slight thing for such mega-sized proportions.
Red Hill
Genuine passion for the Western genre is displayed in this Australian take on High Noon that stars True Blood's Ryan Kwanten.
Saw 3D: The Final Chapter
This seventh film in the horror series promises to be the last.
