| Posted: Before the smirking starts, let's not forget that Sylvester Stallone silenced the skeptics with the thoroughly respectable "Rocky Balboa" just over a year ago. Could the first sighting of John J. Rambo in two decades prove equally rewarding? Well, one out of two ain't bad. |
| Posted: Considering that it features the sort of cliched story line that wouldn't have been out of place in an Andy Hardy movie, "How She Move" doesn't exactly break any new ground. But the terrific dance numbers on display should please its teenage target audience. |
| Posted: NEW YORK -- Inspired as it is by the four emotions that an ancient Chinese proverb declares to be the building blocks of life -- happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love -- it's not surprising that debut filmmaker Jieho Lee's multipart drama "The Air I Breathe" suffers from a certain schematic quality. |
| Posted: In this improbable and generally unfunny comedy, three female employees rob the Federal Reserve Bank over and over again as if it were a giant ATM -- unfortunately, this is one heist picture where you root for the robbers to get caught. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- It's great to see a film like "Sleeper Dealer" come from such a new, extremely talented and hugely ambitious filmmaker as Alex Rivera. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- The sins of a mother pass on to the next generation in this stirring glimpse of the ongoing emotional ordeal of a Jewish family. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- Hollywood satires are always an iffy proposition. They can often seem too insular and inbred to capture a general audience. Yet there are classics in the genre. But "The Deal," which had its world premiere here, is a wacky Hollywood satire that never catches fire. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- Films about indigenous cultures being absorbed by urban civilization are nothing new. Satyajit Ray told a story about a rural family transformed by their move to the big city in "The Apu Trilogy" 50 years ago. But the story is given a fresh slant in a rare film from Panama competing in the world dramatic category at Sundance. |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- The immigrant experience has been seen many times on film before but rarely with the authenticity, wit and intelligence of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck's "Sugar." |
| Posted: PARK CITY -- "Pretty Bird" flaps one comic wing and one dramatic wing, but this slight-framed bird never soars and ultimately crashes under the weight of its excessive thematic ballast. |
| Assassination of a High School President Posted: PARK CITY -- Is there anything new to say about high school torments? Probably there is, but "Assassination of a High School President" doesn't find enough novel insights to make for essential viewing. |
