Unfamiliar to most these days and it goes without saying that Harris performs a great service in the eyes of history with his film. -

Well worth seeing if you have even the slightest interest in guns and sex and the interplay between the two (and who doesn't?), Burnt Money also has, you'll forgive the pun, style to burn. -

Great fun to watch, thoughtful and timely, Thomas in Love is likely to generate some decidedly interesting post-film conversations as well. -

Minus much of the rose-tinted nostalgia his films have occasionally engendered. There is a nostalgic tone to the film, but it's a quiet, subtle one. -

It's a humorous film, to be sure, but there's also a stringent vein of giddy realism to it. -

Above all, it's a satisfying, almost restful work, as welcome in this less-than-thrilling cinematic summer as a cool soak on a hot summer's day. -

It's not perfect -- Thornton's slack-jawed yokel Jacob is played a bit wide of the mark and Fonda continues to irk in some indefinable way -- but it's a revelation for longtime Raimi fans. And it's a hell of a ride too, for both Raimi fans and newcomers alike. -

This is Martin Scorsese, and in the end, it's his town, and his show. -

There's no denying it's a tragic film from start to finish, but equally undeniable is the endless stoicism displayed by the women, and Panahi's crisp, meandering direction. -

A remarkable film. From its performances on down to director of photography Roger Deakins' sun-baked, dirty-ochre cinematography, the film is all of a piece. -

Bird's grim, picture-perfect direction -- the Sierras are more character than backdrop, and everything else looks like it's already been digested and expelled -- augments what is frankly a small, albeit lusterless, gem of a horror show, for once with as many smarts as body parts. -

The strangest biographical film ever made is also one of the most charming, melancholy and quirkily humorous films of the year. -

Although a few bits (the film is done in blackout sketch style) fall flat and a good ten minutes could be shaved off the running time with no visible damage, it's an impressive and irascible debut that rings true even when you're laughing too hard to hear it. -

Gorgeously lensed and delightfully structured, however, this is, in a word, wonderful. -

The spirited interplay between Goodman and Crystal is both wacky and, dare I say, charming. -

Smith's film is a celebration of quirkiness, eccentricity, and certain individuals' tendency to let it all hang out, and damn the consequences. -

Marc Savlov 78
Far and away the most original thriller to come out of a major studio (in this case Columbia Pictures) in a long while. -

You’ve heard of guerrilla warfare? Buffalo Soldiers is all about guerilla capitalism. -

Skateboarding is not a crime, but the subject of this exhaustive documentary... is very much a criminal. -

Rarely have I seen a film so willing to champion the fallibility of the human heart. -

Marc Savlov 78
A fine, near-seamless film that finally suffers slightly from an inability to wrap up its tale. -

The overall tone of this rocket-paced updating is exhilaratingly giddy, making it by far Disney’s best animated film since "Mulan." -

All of the major players turn in powerhouse performances, and Fishburne nails his best role yet as Furious. -

Marc Savlov 78
A kicky, knockout thriller that ingeniously taps into the current climate of paranoia surrounding personal privacy in the Information Age. -

As uncomfortable as it is to have your nose shoved in this nightmare, its unforgettable in its violent lyricism and the bloody power of its message. -
