Strong performances and moody cinematography make this film worth staying awake for, despite many pensive, hypnotically paced sequences.

The film gets points for style, boldness, and an innovative science fiction setup.

A compelling documentary.

Hits an edginess that will keep today’s audiences laughing.

Woman At War is one of the best films I’ve seen about climate change that isn’t either a documentary or an extremely pedantic horror story.

The appeal here is a solid story of an aging mobster with all the charm of indie filmmaking.

Wild Rose is one of those films that you have to hunt for, and it’s well worth the effort.

Filmmaker Ron Mann and actor/activist Woody Harrelson have followed up their hilarious 2000 documentary "Grass" with the equally amusing Go Further.

At times as gaudy as Flynt’s gold-plated wheelchair, it also depicts the dream of a country that refuses to sit down and remain silent.

Most of the cast is excellent, and the writing is very clever. Couple those elements with the fun, cartoony animation, and one gets a pleasing little family film that, thankfully, does not fit into a specific mold.

Princesas isn't the cliché "Pretty Woman" type romantic-comedy you'd expect – it's actually quite surprising.

At the finale of this visual delight, every hired hand and technician also deserve acclaim.

Like all memorable road trips, Threshold understands that the joys are found in the journey as much as the destination.

Costner sets course for one of the most stirringly choreographed shootouts in movie history.

War is chaos and confusion even under the best of circumstances, of which this current fiasco clearly ain’t. The Prisoner… underscores this fact, as well as muddying up the waters on such commonly accepted platitudes as "Support the Troops."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem has something for fans of all ages.

I recommend this film more for fans of Jarmusch than for hardcore fans of the zombie genre. Although I hope that it does serve as an introduction to Jarmusch to people who haven’t seen his other films. Hopefully, most audiences can take away the message from the movie and don’t get too thrown off by the jokes or the star power involved.

The filmmaker casts an unflinching eye at his broken-down subject baring his soul, atoning for his sins, and lamenting the past. There’s no way back for him. This is a trip down a rabbit hole that’s as devastating as it is transfixing.

There is a great deal to admire here. The cast is the equal of that truly delightful dog, and the story feels everywhere and nowhere all at once as it flips from Dalia to Igor, at first having little in common, but gradually, as things progress, Igor’s satisfaction with the pace of rural life starts to impress itself upon Dalia, mending her resolve and ambition.

It may not break new ground when it comes to this genre, one involving betrayal and heavily-accented mob bosses and brotherly love, but when a familiar path is tread with such confidence, you just may want to take another stroll.

A gripping experience, and often downright sickening.

Lee gives us cross-section of characters, almost none of whom escape the summer unchanged.

One of those guilty pleasures of the summer. It’s also one of those action movies that could have been ruined if Jerry Bruckheimer had taken charge of it.

Backspot has the same punch as Run, Lola, Run. Just like that film, the thrills are time released into your system at critical points throughout your viewing.

Wolfwalkers is a beautiful movie for fans of animation and families with young children. If you want to ween the little ones off Disney’s overproduced glitz and turn them on to alternative forms of animation and storytelling, Wolfwalkers is a great place to start.

A rich drama that gradually evolves into a feel-good story.

The documentary is a life-affirming piece of filmmaking that will paint a smile on your face and leave a song in your heart.

The Tundra Within Me is a conventional but good romance. What makes the film stand out is its examination of modernity versus traditions, nature versus nurture, and artistic pursuits versus practicality.
