Posted: Too undernourished dramatically to make much of a splash. While it should earn some respectful reviews, audiences won't come away satisfied. |
Posted: Marjane Satrapi adapts her graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraq war. |
Posted: NEW YORK -- One would think that the domestic film industry produces enough bad exploitation films that we shouldn't have to import them, but the arrival of this Korean thriller apparently demonstrates otherwise. |
Posted: PARK CITY -- A taut, stylish drama brimming with heated sex and illicit desire, Ricardo de Montreuil's "Mancora" represents a noteworthy sophomore feature from the Peruvian director. |

Posted: PARK CITY -- No fortunate son, this U.S. Marine is one of the unheralded grunts soon to be sent to Iraq. It is a sobering depiction of the hard background that many of our front-line soldiers shoulder. |
The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo Posted: PARK CITY -- If one of the roles of documentary film is to shock, educate and move people to action, then Lisa F. Jackson's "The Greatest Silence: Rape in the Congo" is more than doing its job. |
Posted: PARK CITY -- The democratization of film thanks to new technology has meant that almost anyone with something to say has a shot at saying it. This has led to any number of films that are long on passion and somewhat lacking in execution. "North Starr" is just such a film. |

Traces of the Trade: A Story From the Deep North Posted: PARK CITY -- Powerful is an inadequate word to describe the impact of Katrina Browne's documentary, an examination of her forebears, the DeWolf family of Bristol, Rhode Island, the largest slave traders in U.S. history. Browne's clear-headed film represents an intense and searing call for national dialogue. |
Posted: PARK CITY -- If the Nuart started doing weekend midnight showings again where everyone dressed up in costumes, "Hamlet 2" would be a fitting selection. An erratic, freewheeling satire of Middle American mores, it should thrive as a festival curio, appealing to anti-establishment sensibilities. |
