- Elviras Movie Macabre: Night of Living Dead Monday, June 27, 2011 @ 1:53PMRecommended The Movies: Proving you can never have too much of a good thing, Elvira made a comeback in 2010 when Movie Macabre was resurrected from the dead.

The result? A ...

- The Man Who Would Be King (Blu-ray) Thursday, June 2, 2011 @ 6:26PMHighly Recommended "The less said about our professions, the better, for we have been most things in our time. We've been all over India -- we know her cities, her jungles, her jails, and her palaces -- and we've decided she isn't big enough for such as we." "Therefore, we are going away to another place where a man isn't crowded and can come into his own. We're not little men, so we're going ...
- The Ceremony (1963) Thursday, June 2, 2011 @ 6:24PMRecommended Pretentious, I suppose, and talky at times certainly...but visually exciting and in the end, its allegorical message works.

- A Man Called Horse (Blu-ray) Sunday, May 29, 2011 @ 7:41AMRecommended Very much a product of its time, A Man Called Horse (1970) is an existential Western and cross-cultural fantasy telling a familiar story of acceptance and ascension in a society less technological but more spiritually whole. The movie is a reflection of the times, when hippies were searching for lives more fulfilling than those of their Eisenhower-era elders, playing very dated in ...

- The Violent Kind Thursday, May 26, 2011 @ 3:08PMSkip It Earlier this year, the critics at large bashed Scream 4 for ignoring the last decade's worth of horror movies, and I thought it was baffling. To me, the film was a greatly relieving throwback , a case-in-point example of tradition trumping innovation. Today, it seems like people can't make a genre picture without bending over backwards to fix something that isn't broken, and the result ...
- Movie Listings Thursday, May 19, 2011 @ 3:58PMIndian cinema is all about singing and dancing. That's what most people think. But that's not true. At least not always true. Some of the Indian movies are contemporary classics. And «Song of the little road» is definitely one of those.
- A Contemporary Romantic Melodrama Wednesday, May 18, 2011 @ 7:15PMAmong the steady stream of new Chinese movies opening in America, “ A Beautiful Life ” stands out — rather than an overstuffed, jingoistic historical tale or martial-arts blowout, it’s a contemporary romantic melodrama with a plaintive pop soundtrack that might call to mind “ Terms of Endearment ,” “ The Other Sister ” or, most strongly, a Nora Ephron comedy minus most of the laughs.
- Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno (Blu-ray) Sunday, May 15, 2011 @ 9:26AMDVD Talk Collector Series THE MOVIE: Please Note: The screengrabs used here are from the standard-definition DVD included in this set, not from the Blu-Ray. There's a clich in police stories where every cop has a case that got away, that haunts him or her even in retirement, the one mystery they could not crack. Artists tend to have those, too.

- The Scent of Green Papaya Tuesday, May 10, 2011 @ 5:09PMHighly Recommended The Film: As an artistic medium, film typically communicates in two ways: through narrative, and through sensory reaction. Most movies spin stories and expand on characters, yet others -- notably the works of Nicholas Roeg ( Walkabout ) and Terrence Malick ( Days of Heaven ) -- rely on organic artistic flourishes to navigate tone, creating intuitive aural and visual poems ...

- There Be Dragons | In this lugubrious drama, a writer uncovers family secrets about the Spanish Civil War Thursday, May 5, 2011 @ 12:34AMRoland Joffé once made big important movies with big important themes (The Killing Fields, The Mission). He still does, but the genre is so dated that it hardly seems worth the effort. And when the subject matter is the Spanish Civil War, in a story that revolves around a Spaniard (Dougray Scott) writing a book about a wartime priest (Charlie Cox) up for sainthood, and in the process discovering ...

- How NYC Became a Capital of Latin American Film in a Decade | MoMA In Focus: Cinema Tropical Wednesday, May 4, 2011 @ 12:24PMIt’s hard to name a specific year as the launching-point of the renaissance that Latin American cinema has experienced over the past decade. What is hardly debatable, however, is the significant increase in exposure and presence that the cinema from that region has accomplished in such a time-span. The last ten years have proved to be tremendously influential for Latin American films and the ...

- Blow Out: Criterion Collection (Blu-ray) Monday, April 25, 2011 @ 7:26PMHighly Recommended Image courtesy of The Criterion Collection Brian De Palma's Blow Out is 30 years old, and it very well may have been released at the worst possible time...or the perfect time, depending on one's point of view. Written as a delayed but direct response to the Kennedy assassination, Watergate and other blemishes on the world of American politics, it also reminds viewers that ...

- 'The Concert' Achieves Unexpected Poignancy Despite Contrivances Friday, April 22, 2011 @ 4:18AMYou'll laugh. (OK, maybe you'll just chuckle.) You'll cry.

- Of bullies and revenge on all levels Thursday, April 14, 2011 @ 3:45PM'Without borders" is the operative metaphor of In a Better World, Susanne Bier's urgent and compassionate thriller about the vicious cycle of aggression and revenge.

- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (Blu-ray) Thursday, April 14, 2011 @ 1:11PMSkip It The Movie: There are a lot of bad sequels out there but rarely does a follow up film suck as hard as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation . While the first movie might not have been the greatest movie ever made, it was at least an entertaining action/martial arts romp with some fun characters and a reasonably coherent storyline. Basically picking up where the first film left off, the movie begins ...

- Ip Man 2: Legend of the Grandmaster Collector's Edition Monday, April 11, 2011 @ 1:24PMHighly Recommended The Film: Let me start this review with a disclaimer: I have not seen the first Ip Man movie. There are several reasons for me pointing this out from the get-go, not the least of which being that when I say, " Ip Man 2 is easily one of the best Donnie Yen movies I've ever seen," I won't be inundated with people asking me, "Better than the first Ip Man ?" Honestly, I don't know ...
- Jane Eyre | A Yorkshire lass finds love and anguish in this well-produced film Thursday, April 7, 2011 @ 1:32AMThe handsome new adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel is another example of how good modern filmmaking can oil the rusty joints of creaky old storytelling. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga, keeps things strongly focused on the sensation of it all. There's no voiceover, but the story unfolds through Jane's point of view, which means that Mia Wasikowska, as the adult Jane, appears in almost ...
