California Typewriter documentary review: a qwerty little passion
A winsome spell of romance and nostalgia and adorably dorky passion. This is not a portrait of people with an odd hobby: it is a hymn to mechanical beauty.
Sam Shepard
Midnight Special movie review: let the children use it
Intensely gripping drama full of smart, thoughtful, personal twists on some familiar sci-fi ideas. Hums with the hope that a better world is within reach.
Cold in July movie review: summertime and the killing is easy
Confused suspense drama starts out gripping and descends into a moral muddle that a very good performance by Michael C. Hall cannot quite overcome.
Out of the Furnace review: brothers in yawns
A pungent reek of testosterone stinks up this high-toned apologetic for vigilantism and revenge. Still: great performances! (new DVD/VOD US/Can)
Brothers (review)
Yes, this is a movie about our soldiers today in Iraq and Afghanistan. Deal with it.
