Film Reviews
Side Effects
Steven Soderbergh's swan song is a nifty little thriller about people and pills.
Upstream Color
Shane Carruth stocks up on amazing impressionism but shortchanges characters.
Sun Don’t Shine
Amy Seimetz produces a not-so-sweet romantic flight that's also mesmerizing.
Django Unchained
Tarantino goes West, but stays at the very top of his vervy, nervy game.
Mud
Matthew McConaughey has an actor's movie breakout in Jeff Nichols' "Mud."
Femme Fatale
De Palma's Cannes heist flick — helped by Rebecca Romijn — remains a stylish joy.
Klute
The strength of Alan J. Pakula's thriller is Jane Fonda as a call girl named Bree.
The Informant!
The story of serial liar Mark Whitacre is perfect fodder for comically-inclined Soderbergh
Primer
Cult classics can get lost in their own brilliance, with "Primer" a case in point.
The Killing
Kubrick took time into his own hands — literally — in making his own kind of noir.
