  1. No One Sleeps
    Though wildly imperfect, manages, for all its missteps, to touch on a number of important issues few gay films have dealt with to date.
  2. Stripped
    There are no stunning revelations herein, but then, that's not why you're going to go see it, is it?
  3. Once Upon a Time in China (re-release)
    Once the action kicks in -- starting with an extraordinary balletic fight in the rain featuring the two masters and a flying wooden beam -- you can't take your eyes off the screen.
  4. Once Upon a Time in China II (re-release)
    I still think the first is the best in the series, but I'm in the minority: Number two has a stronger following among the legions of Hong Kong movie buffs.
  5. A Galaxy Far, Far Away
    Of all the various low-budget documentaries chronicling the Star Wars phenomenon, Tariq Jalil's is certainly the most recent. There's not a whole lot else to say about it.
  6. The Lonely Affair of the Heart
    The film is overwrought, slow, and portentous, with confusing surreal elements and a narrative time scheme that's impossible to keep track of.

  7. Divorce: The Musical
    The movie climaxes with an entire audience farting -- a more concise review than this one.
  8. Ambush
    Beautifully shot and finely acted movie.
  9. Freshmen
    The week's most pleasant surprise.
