1 April 2009Food, Inc. is powerful enough to be to the local/organic/sustainable food movement what An Inconvenient Truth was to concern about global warming.

3 November 2008I think the problem is just that KEVIN SMITH is out of ideas.

26 March 2008One of the best films of 2007 is an underrated gem called The Savages.

17 March 2007Though the Zodiac killer was never officially caught, audiences will be—by the staying power of this vertiginous film.
