Film review: In 'The Dark Knight,' the Joker is wild and Batman is grim
Friday, July 18, 2008
Watching "The Dark Knight" is a stressful, dread-inducing experience. The movie makes a grim joke out of the idea that it was inspired by a series of so-called "comic" books. The only laughter in the film is the halting, psychopathic chuckle of the Joker. Full story »

Movie review: French suspense film sheds light on the power of lies
Friday, July 11, 2008
A tireless director from the French New Wave era who rejected many of the stylistic innovations and narrative experiments that characterized the work of such fellow countrymen as Francois Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Lelouch has had exactly one huge international hit in 45 years of filmmaking: "A Man and a Woman" (1966), which shared the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and won Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay.

Film review: 'Hellboy' mixes twisted humor with stunning visuals
Friday, July 11, 2008
Words don't really do justice in attempting to describe the wondrous array of misfits and monsters Guillermo del Toro has concocted in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." Truly, his is a world you have to experience for yourself to appreciate it fully -- if you dare, that is. Full story »

Film review: Earnest 'Kit Kittredge' will appeal to girls all over
Friday, July 4, 2008
The Dakota Fanning of 2008, Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine" herself), is part Shirley Temple, part Nancy Drew and part Eleanor Roosevelt in "Kit Kittredge: An American Girl," the first theatrical feature film inspired by a phenomenally successful line of "historical" dolls and their "lifestyle" accessories.

Film review: 'The Children of Huang Shi' pays homage to unselfish heroism
Friday, July 4, 2008
It's certainly easy to take potshots at "The Children of Huang Shi." It's another film in which a white person proves to be the savior of the members of an apparently less fortunate race. It's solemn and old-fashioned. And its lead couple -- Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Radha Mitchell -- don't exactly blaze with star power. Full story »
