    REVIEW | Love Among the Ruins: Eytan Fox's "The Bubble"

    by Michael Koresky on September 3, 2007

    Of course, it would follow that an Israeli filmmaker would center his films mostly around dichotomies, doubles, and impasses. Popular gay filmmaker Eytan Fox, whose previous two films, "Yossi and Jagger" and "Walk on Water," enjoyed healthy limited-run success in the U.S., returns with "The Bubble,"...

    REVIEW | Slippery Slope: Aaron Katz's "Quiet City"

    by Michael Koresky on August 27, 2007

    Of late, there's been a lot of ink spilled over that new group of filmmakers currently being honored at New York's IFC Center as "Generation DIY" (and inadvertently forever dubbed "mumblecore," in an interview in these very pages at indieWIRE), so it might now be somewhat pressing to put aside quest...

    REVIEW | True Colors: Ethan Hawke's "The Hottest State"

    by Michael Koresky on August 23, 2007

    Over nearly twenty years, Ethan Hawke, despite playing a variety of roles in disparate genres, has managed to create a recognizable star persona for himself. Perhaps too recognizable for some, as he can be easily pigeonholed and has become a bit of a punching bag for those not on his wavelength. Haw...

    REVIEW | Brigham Young Guns: Christopher Cain's "September Dawn"

    by Michael Rowin on August 23, 2007

    When we look back one day on the cinema that emerged in response to 9/11 we'll undoubtedly notice among the successes, failures, prophetic messages and reactionary propaganda a handful of films that can be rightfully designated as downright laughable and nearly delusional in their attempts to fashio...

    REVIEW | Simple Men: Rod Lurie's "Resurrecting the Champ"

    by Nick Pinkerton on August 21, 2007

    Denver sportswriter Erik Kerman, Jr. (Josh Hartnett) is at loose ends, fighting an uphill battle against his editor (Alan Alda) to keep his byline from being buried in the paper's back pages, and against his estranged wife, to keep himself a presence in his young son's life. Erik's pitch for a prest...

    REVIEW | Panic Button: Chris Gorak's "Right at Your Door"

    by Michael Rowin on August 20, 2007

    In his book on the Apollo 11 moon landing, "Of a Fire on the Moon," Norman Mailer wondered whether, in addition to providing wish fulfillment, dreams might act as psychic simulation chambers "where the possible malfunctions of life tomorrow and life next year could be tested, where the alternate pla...

    REVIEW | 'core Truths: Joe Swanberg's "Hannah Takes the Stairs"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on August 18, 2007

    "It's like a musical couch," one character comments, shifting positions on a sofa with two others, nicely summing up the narrative thrust of the wispy but radiant "Hannah Takes the Stairs." The line also unwittingly references the cinematic cross-pollination taking place amongst the real-life troup...

    REVIEW | Last Gasp: Frank Oz's "Death at a Funeral"

    by Kristi Mitsuda on August 13, 2007

    "Death at a Funeral" is the kind of movie that inspires anticipatory eyeball-rolling--you feel like you've heard permutations of its punch lines in craftier incarnations numerous times before, even as it's just getting going. This hunch was confirmed when I was cued to chortle mightily at the incong...

    REVIEW | The Outside Scoop: Tom DiCillo's "Delirious"

    by Nick Pinkerton on August 11, 2007

    "Delirious" represents a return from direct-to-DVD purgatory for Tom DiCillo, still probably best remembered--when he is--for his calling card 1995 film, "Living in Oblivion," a self-reflexive look behind-the-scenes of an independent film shoot that piggybacked on the mid-'90s vogue for all things "...
