Current Reviews

The Reader

Film Review: The Reader

The lively, nonlinear structure imposed by screenwriter David Hare and tight, focused direction from Stephen Daldry make this an engaging period drama. But German postwar guilt is not the most winning subject matter for the holiday season. More

Film Review: I Galantuomini

Sound festival fare, this would-be weeper will have better chances at broader arthouse releases if marketed as a love rather than crime story. » More

Film Review: Disgrace

The white rule is over in South Africa and blacks give vent to their anger and frustration over the long virtual slavery they have had to endure. It is this transition that Steve Jacobs captures in this film. » More

Film Review: Punisher: War Zone

Falling somewhere in terms of effectiveness between the supremely cheesy Dolph Lundgren starrer and the more ambitious 2004 version, this film is so unrelentingly violent that all but teen boys might as well stay home. » More
