    United Red Army
    A raw mix of documentary and fiction, directed by Koji Wakamatsu, a veteran of soft-core porn ("Go, Go Second Time Virgin") whose anti-war stunner "Caterpillar" just played here.

    Tuesday, After Christmas
    They breathe originality into an oft-told story.

    Lost Bohemia
    Call it the rape of Carnegie Hall.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Louder Than a Bomb
    The poetry has more in common with rap lyrics than Baudelaire, but that just increases the fun.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    L'amour fou
    Not a definitive portrait of the designer, nor does it pretend to be. But it should be of interest to viewers even if there's not a single YSL label in their wardrobes.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    True Legend
    If action's your thing, then the Chinese-Hong Kong martial-arts epic True Legend is your movie.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    The First Grader
    Too bad the script is predictable at every turn.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Octubre
    Octubre has the feel of something Jim Jarmusch might have made in his early years -- lots of dark humor that you'll think of in the middle of the night, and laugh about.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 38 V.A. Musetto
    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.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Caterpillar
    The Japanese anti-war drama Caterpillar is difficult to watch. But it's directed, acted and photographed well, and it's worth seeing even if it makes you uncomfortable.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 25 V.A. Musetto
    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.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    Earthwork
    Earthwork is best left to TV.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    The Robber
    Heisenberg's thriller ends with a chase across highways and through woods that will give viewers adrenaline highs of their own.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 88 V.A. Musetto
    13 Assassins
    A must-see for Miike's passionate legion of fans. But even action buffs who've never seen any of his films before will be drawn in by this masterful exercise in cinematic butchery.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen
    Too bad it lacks a substantial story to go along with the kick-ass combat scenes.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 88 V.A. Musetto
    Children of Hiroshima
    With Japan facing a new nuclear crisis, this beautifully composed and acted heart-wrencher -- couldn't be more timely.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 25 V.A. Musetto
    When Harry Tries to Marry
    If there's a fresh idea in When Harry Tries To Marry, I couldn't find it.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    Dumbstruck
    Unpretentious, TV-style documentary.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 63 V.A. Musetto
    Square Grouper
    Relying heavily on old network newscasts, Corben introduces a collection of colorful characters who just want to get stoned.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    Armadillo
    There's little new in Armadillo.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 12 V.A. Musetto
    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."
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    The First Beautiful Thing
    Overall, however, it's sappy and predictable -- fun to watch, perhaps, but instantly forgettable.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    The Princess of Montpensier
    Viewers unfamiliar with the politics of the era might feel lost as the plot unfolds, and the 139-minute running time might be a bit much. But why quibble?
    • 68 Metascore
    • 25 V.A. Musetto
    To Die Like a Man
    The praise for this static, overlong, stagebound work is a mystery to me.
    • 69 Metascore
    • 50 V.A. Musetto
    The Elephant in the Living Room
    As my cat, Audrey, will confirm, I love animals. But I draw the line at having lions, tigers, gigantic snakes, bears and other predators as pets. Other people have different opinions.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Blank City
    Does a first-rate job of remembering.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 88 V.A. Musetto
    Meek's Cutoff
    A Western, but any similarities between it and, say, a Gene Autry or Hopalong Cassidy shoot-em-up are nonexistent.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Circo
    Circo is more like "The Smallest Show on Earth" than "The Greatest Show on Earth," the 1952 Oscar winner, but it does provide a look at a unique family and a disappearing way of life.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Bal
    A thoughtful and intelligent film, and should appeal to adventurous souls.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 75 V.A. Musetto
    Illegal
    Anne Coesens, wife of the film's director, Olivier Masset-Depasse, gives a strong performance as Tania.
