    Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
    There’s a coldness in Schrader’s calculations, and disturbingly he seems to swallow the entire myth of Mishima, an extreme right-wing nutjob who wanted to return Japan to samurai values. Philip Glass’s score, however, still takes the breath away.

    The Pervert's Guide to Ideology
    There are those who find Žižek a delight; but well before the two-hour mark, one feels he has delighted us long enough.

    Metallica: Through the Never
    Their fans will love the efficient, well-shot concert scenes: but its woeful parallel story suggests bands like Metallica are rarely more than one remove from Spinal Tap.

    Fading Gigolo
    That it largely succeeds says much for writer-director Turturro’s sly, subtle skills.

    Inkheart
    Inkheart is cheerful and amiable, and in the absence of a Harry Potter film this winter, it fills a gap neatly.

    Diana
    It’s hardly fascinating. It doesn’t offer new facts about the Princess’s life. And it certainly doesn’t explain her complexity or contradictions.
