    'This Is the End': Sly Critique of Fame or Inside Joke?

    by Beth Hanna on June 11, 2013

    As the title tells us, it is. "This Is the End" takes a devilish glee -- in that gross-out, dicks-out sort of way -- in not only seeing Hollywood decimated, but also the celebrities that populate it.

    by Casey Cipriani on June 7, 2013

    The lull in Hollywood summer tentpoles opening this weekend means now's great time to catch an indie. With the much anticipated new take on "Much Ado About Nothing" that Joss Whedon shot at his own home over 12 days, the first adaptation of a Judy Blume novel, and two teens gone wild in "Violet & Da...

    Cannes: While American Films Flatlined, Here Are the Highlights From Un Certain Regard

    by Eric Kohn on May 28, 2013

    It was a big year for American films in competition at the Cannes Film Festival, but in the neighboring Un Certain Regard section, they came and went with a whimper. Perhaps that's because they simply played it too safe in a section filled with daring creativity. Literally translated as "Of a Certa...

    Cannes: Teens Living Dangerously in Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring' and Francois Ozon's 'Young and Beautiful'

    by Eric Kohn on May 16, 2013

    Teen life is both among the prevalent focuses of contemporary cinema and a topic most readily understood. Mainstream teen movies tend to resemble the teen naivete rather than exploring the more complicated world that surrounds it. Made outside that system, Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" and Franco...

    TIFF Capsule Review: "The Hunt"

    by Eric Kohn on September 7, 2012

    Danish director Thomas Vinterberg may never top the complex family dynamics that made his "The Celebration" into such a remarkable chamber piece, but he hasn't lost an ability to construct an engrossing narrative with dark, provocative shades of ambiguity.
