Taken

Posted:

PARIS -- Liam Neeson plays an ex-spook in this filmmaking-by-the-numbers effort from Luc Besson's EuropaCorp that is a a fair bet for boxoffice success.

Penelope

Posted:

TORONTO - The makers of "Penelope" pull off a contemporary fairy tale without being a) a cartoon or b) childish or c) cloying or d) sophomoric.

Inside

Posted:

This claustrophobic shocker co-directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (both surely destined for Hollywood careers) would certainly do well here with the "Saw" crowd were it not for those pesky subtitles.

The Other Boleyn Girl

Posted:

BERLIN -- Anne Boleyn was the one who managed to stay alive while married to England's King Henry VIII for 1,000 days, but her sister Mary in "The Other Boleyn Girl" would have been his queen if only she had been better at making babies.

The Signal

Posted:

NEW YORK -- Although "The Signal" loses strength the more it goes on, this video-shot horror film displaying influences ranging from Stephen King to George A. Romero to innumerable J-horror entries has enough genuine scares and dark humor to merit attention.

Motherland (La terramadre)

Posted:

BERLIN -- Two stories taking place in the Sicilian coastal village of Palma di Montechiaro in this movie, a genuine showcase for the talent of director Nello La Marca.
