Richard Linklater&#039;s Me and Orson Welles is a hard one to put your finger on. It&#039;s got comedic elements, a baseline dramatic framework and then doesn&#039;t fully dedicate itself to being a coming-of-age story. However, despite my inability to nail it down in a nutshell, it&#039;s a [...]]]></description>

To imagine James McTeigue could make something so intelligent and entertaining as V for Vendetta and then devolve into the pile of garbage that is Ninja Assassin is staggering.

In searching for a way to describe John Woo&#039;s Red Cliff the best I can come up with is to call it exactly what it is, a beautifully rendered 208 A.D.

Some early online buzz piqued my interest enough to check out Ti West&#039;s The House of the Devil, a horror film I went into assuming it was a throwback haunted house tale, but that&#039;s not really the case. While the film is a throwback to 1980s [...]]]></description>

I&#039;m not familiar with IFC&#039;s typical slate of films come Halloween season, but this year they are offering a seemingly generic high school thriller from the UK for audiences to choose from by way of Jon Wright&#039;s Tormented, a sloppily made film featuring [...]]]></description>

Picked up and added to the release schedule out of the blue, it seems the primary reason James Mottern&#039;s Trucker is making the rounds is an attempt by Monterey Media to score some award season attention for its lead star Michelle Monaghan (Mission: Impossible III).

Director Lone Scherfig&#039;s An Education can have a hypnotic quality to it depending on how you read it. A young 16-year-old in 1961 Twickenham, England is seduced by an older man and whisked away into a life she had only dreamed of. A life free [...]]]></description>

Chris Rock brings us a solid documentary addressing the subject of African American women (and men to a much lesser degree) and their approach to hair care in the aptly titled Good Hair. I&#039;m not sure if he knew what he was getting into or just didn&#039;t want to [...]]]></description>

He was born Michael Peterson, adopted the &#034;fighting name&#034; Charles Bronson, is known as Britain&#039;s most famous prisoner and with Bronson director Nicolas Winding Refn has turned him into an entertaining one man show.
