Haifa, 1968. Yaakov Bride (Adir Miller) escaped the Holocaust with a serpentine scar carved across the middle of his face and a desire to become invisible and assimilate. What better way is there to make a living in the era of free love than as a matchmaker trumpeting fidelity? Teenager …
Didactic illustration, by Woody Allen, of the role of luck in human affairs, taking as its central metaphor a ball clipping the top of the net in a game of tennis, freeze-framed indecisively in midair. The story traces the progress of a lowborn Irish tennis pro (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers), not quite …
Nicolas Cage is let off the leash to play a tic-infested con artist with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, a phobia for dirt and the outdoors, a mania for canned tuna. Frisking and frolicking to keep pace are Alison Lohman as the teenage daughter he never knew he had, and Sam Rockwell …
A reasonable facsimile of a screwball comedy, certifiable as harmless beyond the target audience of tween girls, to do with two pampered heiresses -- real-life sisters Hilary and Haylie Duff, equally charming, energetic, pretty, and, to the naked eye, wholesome -- who must toughen up when their cosmetics empire trembles …
Babu and Yesu, former delivery agents, embark on a thrilling mission as special agents, facing extraordinary challenges. Directed by Ritesh Rana, starring Sri Simha, Satya, Vennela Kishore, and Faria Abdullah.
Grim fairy tale, from the pen of Roald Dahl, about a moppet blessed with a love of reading (particularly the works of "Darles Chickens"), a prodigious intellect, telekinetic powers, while cursed with sleazoid parents and a sadistic school principal ("Use the rod, beat the child. That's my motto"). For director …
Joe Dante's mockery of, hommage to, and commentary on, the gimmicky grade-Z fright films of his youth. Typically, he doesn't know where to stop, or even slow down. Atypically, he at least knows where to start. A William Castle-ish huckster from Hollywood (or off-Hollywood) arrives in Key West to test-screen …
Indecipherable cyber-fiction postulating that what we accept as reality in the present day is actually a computer-dictated virtual reality a century later. (What is the matrix? "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." Unfortunately indeed.) The Wachowski Brothers, billing themselves …

Will Zion fall to the Sentinels? Is the Oracle to be believed? Can the Keymaker be found? And how many times will the Architect contrive to use the word "ergo" in a single scene? And, when faced with the Lady-or-Tiger dilemma of saving Carrie-Anne Moss or the entire human race, …

Everything that has a beginning has an end -- so speaks the Oracle. And surely that's the most encouraging word, the most energizing word, the most fortifying word, in the third and final installment of the Wachowski Brothers' man-versus-machine trilogy. (Or "tril," as you may prefer to call it, taking …
