Film Reviews
Blue Like Jazz
Based on the bestseller by Donald Miller, this is the story of a Texas-raised Southern Baptist who finds maturity on the liberal campus of Reed College in Portland, Ore.
Bully
The documentary Bully is devastatingly effective when it comes to putting faces on harassed children and giving them a voice.
The Cabin in the Woods
Cabin in the Woods is the most intoxicating morsel to hit the horror circuit since Scream or, at least, Paranormal Activity.
Footnote
The usual strife between fathers and sons charts an uncommon course through academia in this laceratingly comic and award-winning Israeli film.
The Kid With a Bike
This latest film from Belgium's Dardenne brothers is a towering achievement, perhaps all the more so because of its deceptive simplicity.
October Baby
This faith-based film soft-pedals the Christianity while playing to the anti-abortion faithful.
The Three Stooges
Touchback
It’s a Wonderful Life meets Twilight Zone in this film about a high school quarterback a second chance to score during the big game.
