PICTURE DAY - DVD review
Maslany is fantastic as the main character, and there’s just enough irony and complexity to make this slice-of-life film seem relevant.

BAND OF OUTSIDERS - Blu-ray review
One of the signature achievements of both Godard and Coutard, so polished and assured it casts the supremely difficult illusion of being easy to make.

GLOW: THE STORY OF THE GORGEOUS LADIES OF WRESTLING - DVD review
Some of the women were talented athletes, but the wrestling was never as important as the wrestlers themselves.

BEAUTIFUL CREATURES - Blu-ray review
“Beautiful Creatures” fails because it feels a bit too much like other dominant titles in a genre that many hope will have its fuel needle hit empty sooner rather than later.

BAGDAD CAFE - DVD review
Don’t confuse this indie film with the disappointing TV sitcom by the same name. “Bagdad Cafe” may have inspired the series, but the only inspiration is to be found in the original film. If you like indie flicks, check this one out.

THE VERDICT - Blu-ray review
Count me among those who think the Best Actor Oscar that Paul Newman won for "The Color of Money" was a make-up call. The groundwork was laid right here in “The Verdict,” and with the equally accomplished “Absence of Malice” a year earlier.

BRUBAKER - Blu-ray review
I never felt that I was wasting my time watching “Brubaker,” only that it could have been a more dramatic and taut prison movie—which is odd, because it's directed by Stuart Rosenberg ("Cool Hand Luke").

JUBAL - Blu-ray review
(Delmer) Daves was a genuine artist who crossed genres but was never more comfortable than when using the mythic West as his canvas.
