    Blood
    The landscape cinematography is often eye-pleasing, but the script is labored, filled with clichés and never allows for character development.

    Hatchet III
    Will there be a “Hatchet IV’’? I shudder to think about it.

    Unmade in China
    Gil Kofman has an interesting and funny story to tell in his documentary Unmade in China. Too bad he spends more time talking about himself than detailing his misadventures in Xiamen, China, population 3.67 million.

    The ABCs of Death
    Most are exercises in sickening bad taste, with an emphasis on human bodily functions. The biggest stinkers? “T Is for Toilet” and “F Is for Fart.”

    Waiting for Lightning
    Director Jacob Rosenberg makes heavy use of family photos and talking heads, but the person we want most to hear from, Way himself, is largely missing. Go figure.

    Christmas in Compton
    The actors are personable, but they're burdened with a script full of stereotypical characters and offensive jokes. By the time Christmas Day arrives, this movie will thankfully be long forgotten.

    Death by China
    The documentary tells us little we don't already know and is overwhelmingly one-sided. It would make a nice TV infomercial, but certainly doesn't deserve a big-screen release.

    Chronicling a Crisis
    There's little reason to see the claustrophobic Chronicling a Crisis unless you have a fascination with the Kolleks. Watching the vanity project is like being forced to sit through a friend's boring home movies.

    Woman Thou Art Loosed: On the 7th Day
    Features some good acting, but most of it doesn't ring true.

    Richard Garriott: Man on a Mission
    Completely lacking in imagination and purpose, this vanity project might suffice as a home movie, but it's hardly worth the expense and bother of seeing it in a theater.

    Bonsai People: The Vision of Muhammad Yunus
    Yunus would seem to be a prime candidate for a movie about his work. Unfortunately, director Holly Mosher's by-the-numbers documentary Bonsai People isn't the answer.

    After Fall, Winter
    After Fall, Winter would play better minus at least half an hour of flab.

    Watching TV with the Red Chinese
    Director-writer Shimon Dotan takes this iffy story and makes it nearly unwatchable by jumping back and forth in time, using screens within screens and bouncing between color and black-and-white.

    Lula, the Son of Brazil
    Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, Brazil's reformist two-term president, gets the once-over-lightly treatment in Lula, Son of Brazil.

    The Flowers of War
    Zhang Yimou, one of China's best-known filmmakers, deserves a great big lump of coal in his holiday stocking thanks to his ludicrous soap opera The Flowers of War.

    Crazy Wisdom: The Life & Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
    A documentary hardly anybody has been waiting for.

    13
    While the original was an art-house success, this English-language redo, now getting a one-week run after sitting on the shelf for a year and a half, doesn't measure up.

    Love in Space
    Love in Space is just what movie fans have been waiting for: a romantic comedy from Communist China.

    Damn!
    Little more than a rehash of old news.

    Tied to a Chair
    A chaotic mess.

    Forks Over Knives
    The preachy movie is hardly worth the hassle and money required to see it in a theater. Better to download it or wait for it to pop up on TV.

    Hobo with a Shotgun
    Japan's Takashi Miike has the formula down pat, but Eisener has no idea how to give violence a touch of class.

    When Harry Tries to Marry
    If there's a fresh idea in When Harry Tries To Marry, I couldn't find it.

    Footprints
    Peros probably intends Footprints to be an homage to Hollywood's Golden Age. But the script's so incoherent and the acting so amateurish that it makes the worst old-time Hollywood B-flick seem like "Citizen Kane."

    To Die Like a Man
    The praise for this static, overlong, stagebound work is a mystery to me.

    The Butcher, the Chef, and the Swordsman
    The noise level reminds me of Canal Street in Chinatown on a Sunday afternoon.

    A Good Man
    It's an interesting story, but the presentation is more like a home movie than something you'd pay to see in a theater.

    Now & Later
    The dialogue is banal and the acting, especially Wortham's, is unconvincing. Even the sex and nudity, of which there is a lot, grows tiresome after a while.

    Repo Chick
    Nothing would help make this dud understandable.
    • 52 Metascore

    I Am Secretly an Important Man
    Sillen drags out generic talking heads who say generic things about Bernstein, a generic boho. The film might suffice if you're looking for something to watch on cable TV some early morning. But it isn't worth the hassle and expense of going to a theater.
