Film Reviews
Argo
Ben Affleck directs this entertaining thriller about an unbelievable-but-true mission to extricate American hostages from Iran in 1980.
English Vinglish
This Bollywood picture was mostly filmed in Manhattan and tells the story of a wife and mother who discovers her self-confidence.
Seven Psychopaths
A knockout cast of oddball actors seize the reins in Martin McDonagh's smart comedy about dumb people doing really awful things.
Sinister
Mix a doomed house with found footage and supernatural explanations and you have a horror movie that borrows smartly and has a strong lead in Ethan Hawke as a conflicted true-crime writer.
Wake in Fright
Originally released in 1971, this Australian oddity has been recently restored to its waking-nightmare intensity.
