You Kill Me

Cuddlier and more charming, this alcoholic-hit-man comedy isn’t your typical John Dahl noir, but it is offbeat, lovably deadpan, and just tart enough.

A Sound of Thunder

Abandoning any pretense of respect for the Ray Bradbury source material, this film manhandles the author’s delicacies into a lumbering and bewildered mess of grade-Z sci-fi clichés.

Sept. 9, 2005 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Suspect Zero

There's a reason why this FBI agent who's chasing a serial killer has constant headaches: He's in the middle of a murky movie that mixes arch style with police procedural.

Aug. 24, 2007 Movie Review by Marc Savlov

Oliver Twist

Some may doubt the need to once more bring Dickens’ tale to the screen, but Polanski’s deft adaptation proves that there’s still life in that well-worn story of a boy who beats the odds.
