Strange Wilderness

Posted:

An exceptionally lame comedy about the loser son of a late wildlife program host who hopes a close encounter with Bigfoot will save the program from imminent extinction, this first feature by former "Saturday Night Live" scribe Fred Wolf plays like one giant outtake reel.

The Wave

Posted:

PARK CITY -- Based on a real event from a California high school in 1967 and transposed to Germany today, "The Wave" is a cautionary tale about the roots of fascism. Seductive and horrifying at the same time, it suggests that anything is possible in today's unstable environment.

A Good Day to Be Black & Sexy

Posted:

PARK CITY -- Relationship problems kill bedroom performance in this smart romance-romp. A raunchy between-the-sheets peak at modern-day black sexuality, "A Good Day to Be Black & Sexy" should woo urban audiences to the theater, and score on BET and as a DVD rental.

The Order of Myths

Posted:

PARK CITY -- In "The Order of Myths," filmmaker Margaret Brown returns to her hometown of Mobile, Ala., to see how the city has progressed since her youth. The answer is surprisingly little as she looks at the community through its major social event of the year: the Mardi Gras. Exotic and thoughtful, film is entertaining enough to capture a modest theatrical audience before enjoying a healthy run on cable outlets.
