FILM REVIEWS
Conversations with My Gardener
A seemingly simple story of a friendship between two men is
extremely moving and unexpectedly beautiful.
Tell No One
In essence, it's The Fugitive with a whiff of Hitchcock's
Vertigo and a strong shot of Gallic insouciance.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Suspense is just one casualty in this long tale of America's famous
outlaw.
Death Proof
Tarantino isn't the kind of director to let emotion get in the way
of a great car chase.
Across the Universe
This Beatles-powered musical is more than a nostalgia trip.
Director Julie Taymor makes deja vu seem brand new.
Delirious
A sharp look at camera low-lifes, but the laughs are out of focus.
The Game Plan
The Rock morphs into slush in this tedious attempt to turn a wrestler into a G-rated family movie star.
Control
Anton Corbijn's film about the brief, fraught life of Joy Division
singer Ian Curtis.
Good Luck Chuck
This gross-out comedy goes out of its way to be offensive, even by
today's standards.
Waitress
Slices of life served sunny side up in a film with a poignant
real-life epilogue.
