A freshly paroled Billy Walker (a durable Ronnie Gene Blevins, equal parts Tom Sizemore and Peter Sarsgaard) returns to his mother’s (Lara Flynn Boyle) home in El Paso to find her weeks away from death. Dr. Perkins (Sam Daley) informs Billy that the law prohibits him from discussing his mother’s …
A sort of Ronald Reagan tropical melodrama riddled by Luis Buñuel with good, nasty, subversive gags. E.g., Michel Piccoli's devout Catholic missionary, obliged to pretend to a vigilante mob that he has spent the night with a prostitute, hangs his head with hand-in-the-cookie-jar shame while the mob whoops with laughter; …
Luchino Visconti's beautifully cadenced rendition of the Thomas Mann novella. In slow zooms and panning shots, it scrutinizes the deterioration, amid wilting heat and epidemic, of a prissy musical composer, lingering too long at a deluxe hotel, held there by the physical magnetism and riveting gaze of an aesthetic-erotic ideal …
Ewa "Candy" Aulen stars in this story of a love triangle that develops between three people who run a high tech chicken farm.

Don’t let the title put you off; it is an ultramasculine comedy, just not the pointless, “gross out” sort to which we’ve grown accustomed. When Dick suggested that he and his bandmates “get weird,” he had no idea that in the time it took for the credits to roll, he’d …
Grappling with his violent past, Robin Hood finds himself gravely injured after a battle that he thought would be his last. He soon gets a chance at salvation when he meets a mysterious woman and a young girl.
Brutal dictators and their conspiratorial would-be successors — they’re just like us! Read: grasping, vain, selfish, petty, blind to their own weakness and stupidity, and only too willing to let others suffer as long as they prosper and advance. Director and co-writer Armando Iannucci puts it all on black (comedy), …
Death? I didn't even know he was sick.
Following in Albert Finney's footprints, Peter Ustinov perpetuates the corpulent screen image of master detective Hercule Poirot, but this balloon-like inflation (nearer to Nero Wolfe) will be a bother only to the most fanatical followers of Agatha Christie, the queen of the "who cares?" whodunit.

A trendy one-take pass through a WWI foxhole apprises audiences of how Agatha Christie’s legendary Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot (producer-director Kenneth Branagh doing triple-duty) came by his tufted handlebar.
