Film Reviews
The Ambassador
With daring, gonzo filmmaking, this documentary film penetrates the blood-diamond trade in the Central African Republic.
The Apparition
A supernatural presence is released during a college experiment.
Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai
Takashi Miike remakes Masaki Kobayashi's 1962 film about a penniless samurai who commits the ritual act of suicide.
The Last Ride
The last few days in the life of Hank Williams are portrayed in this plausible film re-creation.
Lawless
Abundantly violent yet decidedly listless, there’s very little kick to this moonshining picture from director John Hillcoat and musician/screenwriter Nick Cave.
The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure
They look something like Teletubbies but, presumably, without the hallucinogenic charm.
Robot & Frank
This weird, winning little movie explores what happens to the essential self as the memory goes.
Sleepwalk With Me
In his directorial debut, Mike Birbiglia plays a struggling comic who begins sleepwalking shortly after he moves in with his longtime girlfriend.
Thunderstruck
NBA star Kevin Durant appears as himself in this family film wherein a stroke of magic causes him to swap talents with a klutzy 16-year-old.
2016: Obama's America
Dinesh D'Souza, the conservative author, expounds on the president's past, and discusses what he thinks America would look like if Obama were to be re-elected.
