Film Reviews
The City of Your Final Destination
Anthony Hopkins, Laura Linney, and Charlotte Gainsbourg are among the co-stars of this James Ivory-directed film about a dead novelist's reclusive family.
Killers
Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl play a married couple, but the wife doesn't know her husband is a government assassin. Comedy ensues.
Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders
With an unflinching camera and candid observation, this documentary follows four medical volunteers, ranging from fresh-faced newbies to battle-scarred veterans of the organization.
Marmaduke
Owen Wilson gives voice to the Great Dane of the old single-panel comic about a big, dumb dog.
Please Give
The pleasure of Nicole Holofcener's film – which stars Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Rebecca Hall, and Amanda Peet – lies in the honesty of its conversations rather than its plot.
