Senapathy, an ex-freedom fighter turned vigilante who fights against corruption, returns to the country to aid a young man who has been exposing corrupt politicians in the country through videos on the internet. Directed by S. Shankar, who co-wrote the script.
Gutsy call to open with the sound of a ticking clock. Because by this point, honey, maybe it is the years. While there are a bunch of things that make this final (pleasepleaseplease) installment of the Indiana Jones series not so much maddening as disappointing, the film's biggest sin is …
Harrison Ford returns as the aging archaeologist in the fifth installment of the longrunning franchise, which is directed by James Mangold.
Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg rejoin forces, nineteen years later, for a fourth archaeological adventure. Ford, with his big-cat purr of a voice, remains an amiable fellow; and if he’s a bit jowlier beneath that crumpled face (like a wadded-up piece of paper retrieved from the wastebasket and mostly smoothed …
The third Indiana Jones adventure, and more or less what you'd expect. Perhaps a little less, in that this is the most blithely comical of them, with the hero's father filling the bill of comic-relief character actor. Of course we hardly needed any added relief in what is already an …
The note of campiness, carried over from the previous Spielberg-Lucas collaboration, is sounded here first thing, and with full Bette Midleresque force: the Paramount logo fades into a bas-relief design on a Chinese gong (joke), and the camera moves over from that to the smoking mouth of a papier-mâché dragon …

Alumni from the "golden age" of Camp Tamakwa (hence the corn oil poured over the image) gather for a reunion at the behest of their now-gray counselor, Uncle Lou. They have fun, expose their inner selves, experience black-and-white flashbacks, work out their problems, pile on the baloney. The use of …
Lovers' tragedy about a Rimini university professor whose aspirations as a poet were an early, long-turned page in his life and who now devotes his time to debauchery, and a female student of his who is the sort naturally to catch a teacher's eye and who, for precisely the same …
Infidelity and feminism are its core objectives, but you’ll have to wait for first-time writer-director Geeta Malik to set aside her “chick-flick” cravings before she addresses the more pressing issues at hand. Over summer break, Alia (Sophia Ali) learns that her mother gave up her activist ways for a cushy …
Longtime screenwriter and producer James Schamus adapts longtime novelist Philip Roth’s novel of love and death and Midwestern collegiate life, and turns what might have been an exercise in mordant mid-century nostalgia into something vital and resonant (as opposed to the trendier, emptier “relevant”). Something that lives and breathes and …
With forty years of making music as the iconic folk-rock band Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have made their mark as musicians, songwriters, and dedicated activists. They have represented radical self-acceptance to many, leading multiple generations of fans to say, “the Indigo Girls saved my life.” Still, Amy …
The true story of a U.S. Army Chaplain comes to the screen,
