Stranger Than Paradise
When it was first released in 1984, Jim Jarmusch's tale of three lost souls going nowhere was a revelation – a dry-as-the-desert revelation in black and white, or rather gray and lighter gray
Film Reviews
Across the Universe
Julie Taymor takes the timelessness of the Beatles' music and yanks it earthward into a minefield of literalism.
December Boys
In his first film role post-Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe plays an orphan in Australia who's pals with a bunch of other boys born in December.
The Game Plan
The Rock plays a quarterback whose life is altered by the daughter he didn't know he had.
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With
Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin wrote, directed, and stars in this endearing schlub-in-Chicago movie that features contributions from Sarah Silverman, Bonnie Hunt, and other comic performers.
The Kingdom
Initially, The Kingdom seems like it might be another of this season's politically charged movies, but it actually plays more like an explosive episode of CSI: Riyadh.
The Nines
Ryan Reynolds, Melissa McCarthy, and Hope Davis star in three discrete but thematically linked short films in this feature-film-directing debut from screenwriter John August.
Outsourced
When a Seattle man is transferred to India due to outsourcing, he overcomes his aversion and becomes the eventual poster boy for immersing, life-altering travel.
Resident Evil: Extinction
Milla Jovovich continues to fight zombies and the apocalypse.
Trade
This drama about international sex trafficking is tremendously sincere but also brutal.
