Kagemusha
All of the director's classic themes and techniques are here, but 'Kagemusha' also ushered in a new period in Kurosawa's style, one influenced by the countless hours, months, and years he spent painting imagined scenes from the movie as he waited dejectedly for funding to come in
Film Reviews
Assisted Living
Greenebaum's superstylized first feature attempts to mesh fiction with nonfiction while remaining a narrative, and it attempts to do it almost entirely in the confines of a nursing home, entirely in one day.
Fever Pitch
Don’t go into the Farrelly brothers’ Fever Pitch seeking an adaptation along the lines of the merely Yankified remix of the Nick Hornby novel High Fidelity: This is not that – not even close.
In My Country
Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Binoche star in this John Boorman political drama about the work of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Mail Order Wife
The premise of this gleefully jaundiced mockumentary is simple: A filmmaker pays the expenses of a Queens doorman buying a bride from Burma in exchange for the opportunity to film the proceedings.
Nobody Knows
Nobody Knows is the rare film that successfully tells its tale of childhood from the children’s point of view, forgoing easy sensationalism and poignancy for naturalism and honesty.
Sahara
Based on the popular Clive Cussler book, Sahara may be asinine, but it’s also goofy, good fun.
The Upside of Anger
The two fantastic performances by Allen and Costner that anchor The Upside of Anger are the reason to see this contemporary drama about romance between two flawed adults.
