Must sees:
GHOST WRITER
Roman Polanski’s latest is one of the best films I’ve seen in awhile. The intelligent thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat, and Ewan McGregor is fantastic. Don’t miss it.

PRECIOUS
This disturbing Oscar nominee is tough to watch, but in my opinion, important to see (and incredibly well-acted).

CRAZY HEART
Jeff Bridges is [...]

Must sees:
Shutter Island
Scorcese. DiCaprio. And a thrilling storyline. A great weekend film.

A Single Man
Tom Ford proves to be a talented director. Colin Firth gives an Oscar-worthy performance in this beautifully-shot film.

IN THE AIR
Spend your weekend with George Clooney in Jason Reitman’s fantastic film.

THE PRINCESS & THE FROG (LA PRINCESSE ET LA GRENOUILLE)
For the kids… and every girl who still believes in Prince Charming. It’s classic Disney with a twist and 2D animation at its finest.

LE REFUGE
The auteur movie of the week. François Ozon films Isabelle [...]

Michael Moore’s new documentary CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY metes out responsibility for the GFC:

Bruno Dumont’s new and predictably intense film (previous efforts L’Humanité (1999) and Flandres (2006) both won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival) HADEWIJCH, a film about religious faith and devotion, has been universally praised by the critics:

SAMSON & DELILAH, an [...]
