| Side Effects / ***1/2 (R) | |
| by Roger Ebert
The music tells us what kind of movie "Side Effects" is going to be. It coils beneath what seems like a realistic plot and whispers that something haunted and possessed is going on. Imagine music for a sorcery-related plot and then dial it down to ominous forebodings. Without Thomas Newman's score, "Side Effects" would be a lesser film, even another film. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Identity Thief / ** (R) | |
| by Richard Roeper
It's really tough to have it both ways.
Let's say you want to do a broad, shtick-filled comedy filled with "Three Stooges" humor, e.g., a character is hit head-on by a speeding car, tumbles over the roof, lands with a cringe-inducing thud on the highway — and suffers nary a scratch or even a hairline fracture. The stuff of cartoons. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| John Dies at the End / **1/2 (R) | |
| "John Dies at the End" (R, 99). Slacker friends David and John experiment with the dimension-bending drug Soy Sauce, and contend with the grotesque creatures, FBI agents, and time portals that it spawns. A vibrant mess of genre, charmingly slapped together, but disintegrates into pulpy noise as it takes five turns too many. -- CS Two and a half stars. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Lost in Thailand / *** (Unrated) | |
| “Lost in Thailand” (Not Rated, 105 minutes). Xu Zheng directs and stars in this madcap comedy about a corporate executive who races through Thailand to get his bosses approval. Along the way, he meets a dimwit (Wang Baoqiang) who manages to help his efforts as much as he ruins them. This is “Planes, Trains, and Automobile” in Thailand. -- OM Three Stars. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Stolen Seas / ***1/2 (Unrated) | |
| "Stolen Seas" (No rating, 90 minutes). An ambitious documentary chronicling a two-month negotiation between pirates and the corporation that owns the ship they just hijacked. This tense encounter provides the backdrop for an exploration of the international involvement and abandonment of Somalia over the past twenty years. -- OM Three and a Half Stars. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Not Yet Begun to Fight / ***1/2 (Unrated) | |
| “Not Yet Begun to Fight” (No rating, 60 minutes). A moving documentary about a Montana ranch that provides rehabilitation for war veterans through fly-fishing. -- OM Three and a Half Stars. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Small Apartments / * (R) | |
| "Small Apartments" (R, 97 min.) In spite of its eclectic cast, ""Small Apartments"" is a mostly unpleasant and unfunny black comedy. Freakishly abnormal characters are made fun of but never really empathized with in this sub-sub-Vonnegut-style story, adapted Chris Millis from his own novella. Little Britain's Matt Lucas plays an obese albino that dreams of moving to Switzerland after he disposes of his landlord's (Peter Stormare) body. Toxically quirky shenanigans ensue as Millis and director Jonas Åkerlund revel in their own misanthropy. One star. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Warm Bodies / ***1/2 (PG-13) | |
| by Richard Roeper
As much as I enjoy "The Walking Dead" on AMC and movies such as "28 Days Later," one of my ongoing complaints about the explosion of the zombie genre is the general mopery and overall predictability of those ever-staggering creatures.
They lurch. They snarl. They sniff the air for the scent of human flesh. They pounce and gnaw. They pound windows and doors, and express frustration when confronted with 10-foot-high cyclone fences. And then they get shot in the head and die. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Stand Up Guys / ***1/2 (R) | |
| "Stand Up Guys" (R, 95). Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin were in the same gang, and after Pacino is released after a 28-year prison sentence, they unite for along day and night as an implacable deadline approaches. Comedy, chase scenes, some tension, and above all the acting of the Stand Up Guys. Three and a half stars | RogerEbert Headlines |
| 56 Up / **** (Unrated) | |
| "56 Up" (Unrated, 143 minutes). Starring in 1964, this remarkable undertaking has visited most of the original group of 14 British children every seven years, as they grow older and their lives seem to unspool in fast-forward. Director Michael Apted, who has guided the series since 14 Up, has grown to know his subjects almost like family members. This eight film, edited skillfully so viewers don't need to have seen the previous films, continues one of the noblest undertakings in the history of the cinema. Four stars | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Bullet to the Head / ** (R) | |
| by Richard Roeper
Pop quiz!
From "Broken City" to the gone-too-soon Starz series "Boss" to a hundred other movies and TV shows before that, we know the villain is utterly corrupted and beyond redemption when he reveals his master plan to be: | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Neighboring Sounds / **** (Unrated) | |
| by Pablo Villaça
Brazil is a country of continental dimensions whose filmmaking reflects its sprawling size. In any given year, just look at five or six films produced in different regions of the country and you will find such thematic, aesthetic and linguistic diversity that you'd feel they could well have been made on different planets. There are dumb populist comedies, exercises in style, narrative experiments, dense dramas and historical recreations. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Oscar shorts: Animation / No star rating (Unrated) | |
| by Jeff Shannon
Until recently, Oscar-nominated shorts were a wild card: If you couldn't see them, all you could do was predict the winners by educated guesswork. All that changed in 2006 when London-based Shorts International began touring the nominated shorts (live action, animation and documentary) in limited theatrical release. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Oscar shorts: Live action / No star rating (Unrated) | |
| By Jeff Shannon
The first thing you may wonder about this year's Academy Award nominees for best live-action short is: Where's the Funny? Academy voters typically favor drama over comedy in the Best Picture category, and that bias prevails in the shorts category, too. Last year's winner was Terry George's somber Irish drama "The Shore," but I would've preferred the whimsical, slyly understated humor of the Norwegian nominee "Tuba Atlantic," or the more conventional Irish charms of "Pentecost," about a young altar boy who mischievously disrupts a Sunday service in his local parish. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| In the Hive / *** (R) | |
| "In the Hive" (R, 110 minutes). Robert Townsend directs the tale of a young man (Xtra, Jonathan 'Lil J' McDaniel) pulled out of his father's (Roger Guenveur Smith) street gang into the "Hive," a charter school run by tough administrators (Loretta Devine and Michael Clarke Duncan) hoping that overpowering love will reform him. Three stars. -- O.M. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Parker / *1/2 (R) | |
| "Parker" (Rated R. 118 minutes) Not even the efforts of Jason Statham and Jennifer Lopez can elevate a crime thriller about as boldly original as its title. One and a half stars. -- PS | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Quartet / **1/2 (PG-13) | |
| "Quartet" (PG-13, 9 minutes). A sweet, sentimental, predictable story set in a luxurious British retirement home for actors and opera singers. First-time director Dustin Hoffman has his heart in the right place, and loves these characters. His screen is filled with legends (Tom Courteney, Maggie Smith, Michael Gambon, Billy Connolly, Gwyneth Jones). But much is unlikely, including the theory that a Gala on Verdi's birthday could raise enough cash to save the elegant manor. Two and a half stars | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Movie 43 / (R) | |
| by Richard Roeper
Since 1999 I've been carrying a blue pill in my pocket, holding onto it for the moment when I'd truly need it. The pill, I was told, would instantly erase the memory of any movie — but just the one movie, just the one time.
I was tempted to take that pill after "Freddy Got Fingered." I had the pill in hand as I walked out of every other Adam Sandler movie of the last decade. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Happy People: A Year in the Taiga / ***1/2 (Unrated) | |
| by Steven Boone
Film director Werner Herzog's voice is so distinct and soothing that those of us who swear by it as a tonic for the soul sometimes assume the man is a household name. I made that mistake recently while chatting with a friend who praised Christoph Waltz's performance in "Django Unchained." "Yeah," I said, "The only person who could play a multilingual, multi-genius German impresario better than Waltz would have been Herzog."
"Wha? What's a hearse hog?" | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Consuming Spirits / *** (Unrated) | |
| “Consuming Spirits” (NR, 129 minutes). Chris Sullivan directs this despairing, animated slice-of-life of the small town of Magguson, located in the American rustbelt. We follow a few ordinary people through what seem to be ordinary lives, except that we discover unhappy secrets hiding among the skeletons in each of their closets. Three Stars. -- O.M. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Tiger Tail in Blue / ***1/2 (Unrated) | |
| "Tiger Tail in Blue" (No MPAA rating. 80 minutes.): Chicago filmmaker Frank V. Ross delivers a thoughtful and intelligent drama about a recently married couple (Ross and Rebecca Spence) struggling to make things work despite conflicting work schedules and economic pressures. Three-and-a-half Stars. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| The Loneliest Planet / ** (Unrated) | |
| by Roger Ebert
In "The Loneliest Planet," an engaged couple takes a backpacking hike over the beautiful but rugged trails of the Caucasus Mountains in the central European republic of Georgia. Midway on their trek, I was reminded of advice I once heard: "Never marry anyone without first taking a three-day bus trip with them." | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Broken City / *** (R) | |
| by Richard Roeper
When people ask me about a particular movie, they don't say, "Are the performances transcendent?" Or "is the direction sublime?" Or "is this an engrossing, life-enriching experience?"
They ask, "Is it any good?" That's what they always say. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| Mama / *** (PG-13) | |
| by Richard Roeper
Very few horror movies would last past the second act if the characters in these films were actually fans of horror movies.
Some time after the first occurrence of Scary Old Timey Music Wafting Through the Vents, after Creepy Bugs Fluttering Inside the House and certainly by the time of the "Accidental" Fall That Sidelines a Key Character — well, that's when any red-blooded, movie-going individual would run out the front door and never look back. | RogerEbert Headlines |
| The Last Stand / *** (R) | |
| by Richard Roeper
When Arnold Schwarzenegger's "True Lies" sidekick Tom Arnold guested on Howard Stern's radio show earlier this week, he told of attending Arnold's 65th birthday party, which featured exotic wild animals that Schwarzenegger had rescued from a circus. | RogerEbert Headlines |

| Letters To God - Trailer | Mon, Feb 22 12:00 AM |
| A heartfelt tale of inspiration, hope and redemption, Letters to God is the story of what happens when one boy’s walk of faith crosses paths with one man’s search for meaning—the resulting transformational journey touches the lives of everyone around them. Tyler Doherty (TANNER MAGUIRE) is an extraordinary eight-year-old boy. Surrounded by a loving family and community, and armed with the courage of his faith, he faces his daily battle against cancer with bravery and grace. To Tyler, God is a friend, a teacher and the ultimate pen pal—Tyler’s prayers take the form of letters, which he composes and mails on a daily basis. The letters find their way into the hands of Brady McDaniels (JEFFREY S.S. JOHNSON), a beleaguered postman standing at a crossroads in his life. At first, he is confused and conflicted over what to do with the letters. Overtime he begins to form a friendship with the Doherty family – getting to know not just Tyler but his tough, tender yet overwhelmed mom (ROBYN LIVELY), stalwart grandmother (MAREE CHEATHAM) and teen brother Ben (MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER BOLTEN) — who are each trying to stand strong against the doubts that come with the chaotic turn their lives have taken. Moved by Tyler’s courage, Brady realizes what he must do with the letters, a surprise decision that will transform his heart and uplift his newfound friends and community –in an exhilarating act of testament to the contagious effect of one boy’s unwavering faith against the odds. Inspired by a true story, Letters to God is an intimate, moving and often funny story about the galvanizing effect one child’s belief can have on his family, friends and community. | Latest Movie Trailers |
| Waking Sleeping Beauty - Trailer | Fri, Feb 19 12:00 AM |
| Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairytale. It is a story of clashing egos, out of control budgets, escalating tensions… and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history. Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider, key players at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation department during the mid1980s, offer a behind-the-magic glimpse of the turbulent times the Animation Studio was going through and the staggering output of hits that followed over the next ten years. Artists polarized between the hungry young innovators and the old guard who refused to relinquish control, mounting tensions due to a string of box office flops, and warring studio heads create the backdrop for this fascinating story told with a unique and candid perspective from those that were there. Through interviews, internal memos, home movies, and a cast of characters featuring Michael Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Roy Disney, alongside an amazing array of talented artists that includes Don Bluth, John Lasseter, and Tim Burton, Waking Sleeping Beauty shines a light on Disney Animation’s darkest hours, greatest joys and its improbable renaissance. | Latest Movie Trailers |
| The Ghost Writer - Featurette - Jumping Ship | Fri, Feb 19 12:00 AM |
| When a successful British ghost writer, THE GHOST, agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister ADAM LANG, his agent assures him it’s the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang’s long-term aide, died in an unfortunate accident. The Ghost flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, RUTH, and his personal assistant (and mistress), AMELIA. As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind. Was Lang in the service of the American intelligence agency while he was prime minister? And was The Ghost’s predecessor murdered because of the appalling truth he uncovered? Resonating with topical themes, this atmospheric and suspenseful political thriller is a story of deceit and betrayal on every level— sexual, political and literary. In a world in which nothing, and no one, is as it seems, The Ghost quickly discovers that the past can be deadly—and that history is decided by whoever stays alive to write it. | Latest Movie Trailers |

| Blood Done Sign My Name - Trailer | Thu, Feb 18 12:00 AM |
| Jeb Stuart’s BLOOD DONE SIGN MY NAME is an epic story of empowerment and the struggle for social justice based on the acclaimed book of the same name by prize-winning author and scholar Timothy Tyson. Part family drama and part history of the civil rights movement in America’s south, the film is set in Oxford, North Carolina in 1970 and recreates the circumstances surrounding the small-town murder of Henry “Dickie” Marrow, a 23 years-old black Vietnam veteran who was shot and beaten to death by one of Oxford’s prominent white businessmen and his two grown sons. In response to the crime, and the sham trail that followed, many young African American men took to the streets, engaging in riots and vandalism. However, schoolteacher and burgeoning activist Ben Chavis (who was also Marrow’s cousin), decided that the best way to protest the injustice was to organize a peaceful march on the state capitol. What began as a small group of outraged friends and relatives grew to a crowd of thousands over the three day, fifty-mile trek to Raleigh. Ten years old at the time, Tim Tyson watched as his father, pastor of the town’s all-white Methodist church, tried to get his congregation to accept the inevitability of integration. | Latest Movie Trailers |

| When You’re Strange - Trailer | Wed, Feb 17 12:00 AM |
| Award-winning writer-director Tom DiCillo’s riveting film uncovers historic, previously unseen footage from the illustrious rock quartet and provides new insight into the revolutionary impact of their music and legacy. The film is narrated by Johnny Depp. The creative chemistry of four brilliant artists - drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Kreiger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and singer Jim Morrison - made The Doors one of America’s most iconic and influential rock bands. When You’re Strange is the first feature documentary to tell their story. Using footage shot between their formation in 1965 and Morrison’s death in 1971, it follows the band from the corridors of UCLA’s film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas. Taking its title from the cabaret-tinged Doors hit “People Are Strange,” the film chronicles the creation of The Doors’ six landmark studio albums in just five years, as well as their electrifying live performances. Rare cinèma vèritè footage offers an intimate glimpse into their musical collaboration - and their offstage lives. | Latest Movie Trailers |

Returning to the table where they’re now playing ―spot the hooker‖, Catherine watches with interest as Chloe approaches an older businessman. On the drive home Catherine finally asks David if he intentionally missed his flight from New York to stay for drinks. When he claims he did not, she knows she has caught him in a lie. Now more suspicious than ever that David is having an affair, Catherine seeks out Chloe, an escort, hiring her to test David’s fidelity. Meeting regularly, Catherine absorbs the explicit details Chloe shares of her encounters with David, igniting Catherine’s jealousy and awakening long-dormant sensations. Soon caught in a web of sexual desire, Catherine finds herself on a journey that places her family in great danger—is it too late to stop Chloe? | Latest Movie Trailers |
