    REVIEW | The Earth Trembles: Joel and Ethan Coen's "No Country for Old Men"

    by Michael Koresky on November 6, 2007

    The term "return to form" may be overused, but it certainly applies to the Coen Brothers' new adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel "No Country for Old Men" -- in its visual economy, maddeningly beautiful symmetry, and eccentric mundanity the film is a reminder of why the Coens were initially tagge...

    REVIEW | Lost in the Supermarket: Julien Temple's "Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten"

    by Nick Pinkerton on October 31, 2007

    By the year 2015, any band that made the cover of NME in the Seventies will have been the subject of either a feature-length documentary (with commentary by Bono) or frontman biopic. As one to whom pop music and film both have both meant a great deal, I can't understand how this arrangement benefits...

    REVIEW | Me, Myself & I: Ash Christian's "Fat Girls"

    by Michael Koresky on October 30, 2007

    The indie gay cinema movement in America was a necessary response not only to mainstream studio filmmaking but also to the hetero bias of other "alternative" cinema avenues; because of the outsider status of the films it was once difficult to too harshly criticize their narrative and aesthetic fault...

    REVIEW | Star Power: Theodore Braun's "Darfur Now"

    by Indiewire on October 29, 2007

    "Darfur Now," Theodore Braun's infectiously optimistic, if perfunctorily realized, documentary about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Sudan arrives in theaters at a crucial moment. While the civil war in that wartorn region rages unabated, demanding more international visibility, the wave that br...

    REVIEW | Fallen Down: Anthony Hopkins's "Slipstream"

    by Indiewire on October 24, 2007

    William Gaddis's slim final novel, "Agape Agape," takes the form of a stream-of-consciousness rant delivered by a highly erudite narrator on his death bed that encompasses scattered memories, ruminations on late 19th and 20th century Western culture, and elderly grumblings about the experience of mo...

    REVIEW | Noble Rot: Steven Sawalich's "Music Within"

    by Michael Rowin on October 23, 2007

    Likable yet bland, Ron Livingston has been cursed with an earnest, puppy dog face that, while charming, makes him hard to take seriously as a dramatic actor, or even an intriguing comic one. He's not untalented, just dull, and in that sense he's perfectly cast as the protagonist of "Music Within." T...

    REVIEW | Brothers in Lawlessness: Sidney Lumet's "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead"

    by Indiewire on October 23, 2007

    If our cultural arbiters are to be believed, the Seventies are back. "Serious," "adult," "provocative," and other signifiers of high-minded Hollywood adorn multiplex posters ("Michael Clayton," "The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford"), which perhaps says more about the desperati...

    Happy Trails: Jonathan Demme's "Jimmy Carter Man from Plains"

    by Michael Rowin on October 21, 2007

    Titled like an old-fashioned Western where a man in a white hat gallops in to save a town from ruthless villains, Jonathan Demme's "Jimmy Carter Man from Plains" portrays the 39th president as an intrepid political lone ranger, unafraid of provoking discussion on sensitive international matters at a...

    REVIEW | Suicide Is Painless: Goran Dukic's "Wristcutters: A Love Story"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on October 17, 2007

    If you can get over its affected and mildly offensive irreverence -- check the cheeky title -- you might just enjoy "Wristcutters: A Love Story." Sure, its high-concept setup, as adapted by first-time feature film helmer Goran Dukic, subversively suggests that suicide is just another way to meet cu...

    REVIEW | Investigating an International Man of Mystery: Barbet Schroeder's "Terror's Advocate"

    by Anthony Kaufman on October 11, 2007

    There must be a fascinating flow-chart in the links between modern terrorism and Jacques Verges: Imagine the notorious lawyer at the center of a vast and intricate set of lines connecting Algerian freedom fighters to the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine to Pol Pot to Germany's Red A...
