    I Sell the Dead
    Genre fans will definitely get off on I Sell the Dead, but outsiders might be less enthusiastic.

    Looking for Palladin
    Has a split personality. It starts as a comedy but morphs into an icky family melodrama. It should have stuck with the yuks.

    The Lottery
    The film has no ready answers, although it becomes abundantly clear that both those for and against charter schools are more concerned with covering their own asses than with helping students get a quality education.

    La sierra
    The tragic victims in "City of God" are played by actors while those in La Sierra are flesh-and-blood real.

    Hiding Divya
    Under writer-helmer Rehana Mirza, the acting and direction are workmanlike, but the plot is full of hackneyed characters and contrived events better suited to TV than the big screen.

    Monsieur Ibrahim
    The script falters at the end, as the two reach the Turkish village where Ibrahim was raised. But the winning performances -- and killer '60s soundtrack -- save the day.

    Irene in Time
    Has some witty dialogue and sprightly performances by Karen Black, Andrea Marcovicci, Victoria Tennant and others.

    The Backyard
    The Backyard will affect you. If you were depressed about the future of America before, you'll be doubly depressed after seeing this film. Pass the Prozac.

    Memories of Tomorrow
    As the wife, pixie-ish Kanako Higuchi provides the perfect accompaniment to Watanabe.

    Leaving
    The plot isn't a new one (remember Lady Chatterley?), but Corsini gives it a few twists and turns that keep matters fresh and suspenseful.

    Mother
    Mother is yet another winner by Bong, one of Asia's most talented directors.

    The Charcoal People
    Raises an interesting question. Do you clamp down on corporations in order to protect the environment or do you let them go about their business because they help feed countless families.

    Who needs mind-bending drugs when they can see this.

    Zebraman
    It pains me to report that his Zebraman is a disappointment.

    One Swallow Brought Spring
    Carion, in his feature debut, means well, and his characters are lovable. But the plot is so predictable and sentimental that viewers are likely to lose interest before Sandrine and her goats walk off into the sunset.

    Schultze Gets the Blues
    A sweet and charming treat.

    The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros
    Preteen sexuality is a sensitive subject, but director Auraeus Solito handles it with dignity, never becoming exploitative.

    Ip Man
    If you're looking for great action scenes, you've found them. But if you desire more than eye candy, such as character and plot development and historical accuracy, you'll have to look elsewhere.

    Zombie Honeymoon
    Whether you're looking for a love story with a little gore or a horror movie with a little romance, Zombie Honeymoon will suit your taste.

    The Border Post
    The script is fresh and accessible - even for folks who don't know Croatia from Cambodia - and it is put over by solid acting and direction.

    The Bread, My Sweet
    You know exactly how this thing is going to turn out before it's even half over.

    The Band's Visit
    A modest and charming comedy from Israel.

    My Blueberry Nights
    The biggest problem is Wong's decision to cast Norah Jones as Elizabeth, a New Yorker who hits the road after a love affair goes bad. Jones, in her first movie, can't act. (There, I said it!)

    Noi the Albino
    Kari successfully meshes comedy, ennui and tragedy, much in the manner of Jim Jarmusch and Finnish auteur Aki Kaurismaki.

    Lake Tahoe
    With Lake Tahoe, Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke proves himself adept at turning a blank screen into a work of art.

    Young Rebels
    A labor of love, Young Rebels is essential viewing for anyone who wants to stay ahead of the hip-hop curve.

    24 Hours on Craigslist
    Loads of fun, especially if you use the site yourself. But it plays too much like a paid ad.

    Strike
    The script plays fast and loose with the facts and adds soap-operaish touches, but Thalbach is a feisty delight.

    Hatchet II
    Say a prayer that there's no "Hatchet III" in the future.
