|
| Everybody Wants to Be Italian
Everybody Wants to Be Italian is a charmer — a sweet, flavorful romantic comedy with one of the year's freshest and most appealing casts.
|  |
Save Me
I've found it irritating that, on the rare occasions that popular movies have tackled the issue of gay conversion therapy, they've treated it as a joke.
|
|
| Towelhead
Despite its charged title, Towelhead is more of a sexual coming-of-age film than a hard-hitting look at racism.
| |
|
| Year of the Fish
The film is based on an ancient Chinese version of the Cinderella narrative. In the original folk tale, when the mother of young heroine dies, the girl becomes servant to her wicked stepmother.
|
|
| Traitor
It's too bad movies aren't recommended for performances alone, because Guy Pearce and Don Cheadle are excellent playing opposite each other as an FBI agent and a suspect in the international thriller Traitor.
|
|
| The House Bunny
Anna Faris gets her own chance at stardom as the wacky Shelley, a displaced Playboy bunny who becomes a mentor to a group of sorority girls.
|
The Longshots
Starting out as the edgiest of rap artists, Ice Cube morphed into a promising film actor with early roles in such landmark street dramas as Boyz n the Hood and action thrillers along the lines of Three Kings.
|
The Rocker
The Office's Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) shows he has what it takes to be a movie star in the delightful late August surprise The Rocker.
| |
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Although probably trying to do both, Woody Allen's latest film makes a better travelogue of Spain's seaside metropolis than tour of the human heart — and with much more apparent ease.
|
Battle in Seattle
With Battle in Seattle, first-time writer-director Stuart Townsend pulls of the considerable feat of making the protests surrounding the 1999 World Trade Organization conference seem not that interesting.
