Film Reviews
The Man With the Iron Fists
Wu-Tang Clan firebrand RZA branches out into directing a martial arts film.
Miami Connection
This incoherent mass of Eighties kitsch is the brainchild of tae kwon do master and motivational speaker Y.K. Kim.
The Other Dream Team
Who's the "other" Dream Team? The freedom-championing Lithuanian basketball team at the 1992 Olympics, of course.
The Sessions

Simon and the Oaks
This Swedish import is a family saga that's shaped by the looming Nazi invasion, forbidden love, and unsound decisions.
Skyfall
Daniel Craig's glum third go-’round as 007 is enhanced by fun turns by all the supporting players, as well as the film's exciting camerawork.
