Also described prefatorily as "a tribute to Diane." Clearly, it's at pains to deflect expectations of a straight, literal, pedestrian biography of the celebrated American photographer of front-and-center freaks (or non-freaks who, so forcibly fronted and centered, merely look like freaks). In spite of the freedom of form, the repressed-Fifties-housewife …
Kung Fu Mama movie notable first for its heroine’s willingness to debase herself (“I’m a bad mother…a worthless ghetto gangster piece of trash”) in her efforts to win sympathy for her one-good-thing quest to save her kidnapped kid from a nasty organ-harvesting operation.

Inhuman federal agents, who work for an unspecified government organization, kidnap a teenage boy, who possesses unspecified psychic powers, in order to channel his great potential toward unspecified ends. Clarity is not this movie's forte. It's especially confusing about the nature of the psychic phenomena and about the cinematic style …
A stylized pipsqueak comedy from performance artist, director, and deadpan conceptualist Miranda July. Her spaced husband (Hamish Linklater) talks to the moon, and July speaks in a wee voice as her sick cat. The film floats as a bubble of whimsy, like Pee-wee Herman and David Lynch conversing underwater in …
An unexploded World War II bomb is unearthed at a busy contemporary London construction site, forcing a massive citywide evacuation.

A sequel only points up the resemblance of the original to a TV series. Our special-effects wizard, now retired from films, is busy inventing high-tech children's toys when he is beckoned back into police work (with dire consequences once again for a peripheral female).
