The lead Holocaust contender in this year’s awards derby is more stallion than nag. When a denier levels a lawsuit against her publisher, it’s up to author and historian Deborah Lipstadt (Rachel Weisz) to prove the existence of the Holocaust. The first film in 14 years from director Mick Jackson …
Hal Salwen's high-concept, low-budget comedy about a circle of friends, or friends of friends, too busy ("besieged," "deluged") to get together face to face. It's close to encyclopedic on telephone culture (answering machines, call waiting, conference calls, faxes, cel phones, phone sex), and it's a cinematic challenge: no two characters …
Demoted from prototype to copycat, the classic comic strip comes to the screen in the dust of Problem Child and (thanks to a robber on the prowl) Home Alone. The small-town setting, however, apart from the automobiles, seems to belong to an earlier day: no skateboard? no Nintendo? Director Nick …
Gerard Butler may have found the perfect late-middle age role in director and co-writer Christian Gudegast’s quasi-stylish, both-sides-of-the-law crime drama. He tears into his performance as nasty cop (well, sheriff) and lousy husband Nick Flanagan the way Flanagan tears into a crime-scene donut, and crams the screen with a combination …
Big Nick (Gerard Butler) is back on the hunt in Europe and closing in on Donnie (O’Shea Jackson Jr.), who is embroiled in the treacherous and unpredictable world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia, as they plot a massive heist of the world’s largest diamond exchange.
Perhaps the oddest duck in the flock that included Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, and Martin Scorsese — i.e., the lucky ducks who got to express very personal visions with studio-level backing back in the ‘70s — sits down and looks back on his career as a director, …
Martin Scorsese's career-changing turn to the overblown epic, a turn marked by Casino, would seem to be a course difficult to reverse. Kundun ... Gangs of New York ... The Aviator.... And now even a trashy light diversion, adapted from an average-length Hong Kong action film, will get dragged out …

“Dear Uncle, why should we want to live?” writes Buddhist priest Ittetsu Nemoto in a letter to the man who killed himself while Nemoto was a boy. It’s an especially poignant question, because it’s one that he answers every day, over and over and in various ways, in his life’s …
Japan’s Oscar-winner for foreign film is without apology in the sentimental mode, a classification now out of fashion if never (secretly) out of favor. Directed by the veteran Yojiro Takita, it tells of a laid-off cellist, self-admittedly second-rate, who returns from Tokyo to his hometown and answers an ambiguously worded …
A Chicago family man with a diabetic daughter strikes up a risky flirtation with a woman on the commuter train, ultimately takes her to an out-of-the-way fleabag, but before any passion can be consummated they are beset by a sneering robber, beaten and raped respectively, and subsequently blackmailed. Nasty, twisty, …
