Much Ado About Nothing

With Shakespearean language tripping off their contemporary tongues, the actors are more than game for Joss Whedon's informal, black-and-white take on this classic comedy.

"...of Shakespeare’s comedies, dark moments mark the dramatic action midway through Much Ado About Nothing. But Whedon brings the..."

From Paris With Love

Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays an American diplomat in Paris who is paired with a wise-cracking, trigger-happy CIA maverick (John Travolta) to stop a terrorist attack.

Observe and Report

With more of a resemblance to The Cable Guy than Paul Blart: Mall Cop, this Seth Rogen comedy about a bipolar mall security guard is decidedly dark.

Rush Hour 3
