Film Reviews
All's Faire in Love
Christina Ricci stars in this strained romantic comedy set in the world of renaissance festivals.
Anonymous
Normally a maker of big, explosive movies, Roland Emmerich directs this conspiracy-minded potboiler which questions the veracity of Shakespeare's authorship.
Margin Call
A high-powered cast drives this fictional depiction of what might have occurred in a top investment firm in the hours leading up to its collapse.
Puss in Boots
As infectious as the latest viral cat video, this animated film has the added slam-dunk of Antonio Banderas purring the voice of the title character.
The Rum Diary
Johnny Depp stars in this adaptation of one of Hunter S. Thompson's earliest novels, which is set in Puerto Rico in 1960 and soaked in booze
7 Aum Arivu
New Tamil film.
Take Shelter
Is Curtis LaForche slowly going mad or is something apocalyptic about to happen? Michael Shannon stars in this truly unsettling movie.
The Three Musketeers
