As stark and stately as the artiest work of John Ford, this Western is set during World War II, though it's easy to lose track of that fact. The narrative events, concerning the cattle ranchers' seemingly eternal struggle to preserve their way of life in the face of social change, …
Interracial romance, labor agitation, the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War -- two hours plus of harsh penance for Americans, prescribed by the Englishman Alan Parker (Mississippi Burning). Richly produced, handsomely photographed -- and Tamlyn Tomita, as the Nisei who defies her father and accepts the attentions of …
Join Jennifer Wilder Morgan on a journey of divine encounters. Based on her faith book that's "changing lives across America."
Bill Forsyth, having built up expectations with Gregory's Girl and Local Hero, was hereupon charged with "slightness." Why? A character who gets dumped by his girlfriend at middle age, seizes upon the opportunity to take stock of his life, finds it to be without serious purpose, and begins to cast …
Boringly cryptic and oblique Death-in-Venice tale about an unmarried English couple preyed upon by an ambiguous white-suited native (actually Christopher Walken with a bad accent, explained or excused by biographical brushwork to do with an upbringing in England and a Canadian wife). Harold Pinter, working at about half-alert on an …
Fittingly tacky documentary, by Ron Mann, on the history of comic books -- a static subject by nature, "cinematized" with crude animation techniques and montages.

Much of the original has long faded from memory; the one moment still buzzing in my grey cells is the location of Zamunda, somewhere beyond the Paramount mountain. True to form for a sequel that is ostensibly a remake, the camera once again draws us past the logo into a …
The Marine Captain's wife, thinking to make herself useful while her man is away in Vietnam, takes a nonpaying job in the veterans' hospital. There, she undergoes a radical character change (symbolized by her going from straight hair to frizzy) and falls in love with a bitter wheelchair case who, …
A single marriage stands in for a national tragedy. When director Yimou Zhang took on The Rape of Nanking in The Flowers of War, he proportioned the look and feel of his film to the event: florid, unrestrained, unsubtle as a bayonet to the crotch. Here, he's treating China's cultural …
Like a great many troubled American teenagers, prep-school outcast Jamie Schwartz (Alex Wolff) sees something of himself in Holden Caulfield, the troubled teen protagonist of J.D. Salinger’s landmark novel The Catcher in the Rye. Unlike many troubled American teenagers, he decides to do something about it. Not actually fixing his …
