FilmCraft: Directing

Film Reviews
Celeste & Jesse Forever
This romantic comedy starring Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg is far funnier than you’d expect a film about a tortuous split to be – and more deft.
Cosmopolis
Even though it stars Robert Pattinson, we doubt his Twilight fans will fully appreciate this sleek, dystopian story that David Cronenberg adapted from Don DeLillo's 2003 novel.
The Expendables 2
This who's who of action stars even features Schwarzenegger in his movie comeback.
Hit & Run
Dax Shepard's sophomore directorial feature is a mixture of earnest and romantic road movie, high-octane chase picture, and slapstick comedy.
The Invisible War
The shockingly rampant problem of rape in all branches of the U.S. military is the subject of this Kirby Dick documentary.
Premium Rush
Joseph Gordon-Levitt rides like the wind, and Michael Shannon plays his usual nut job, but Bullitt on a bike this film is not.
The Revenant
This horror comedy follows the the walking-dead path of an undeceased Iraq War vet and his stoner best friend.
Sadigadu
Telugu superhero movie; no subtitles.
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
This unusual Bollywood romance puts the focus on a couple of fortysomethings.
Sparkle
This story about a Motown girl group's rise and struggle also features Whitney Houston in her final screen role.
