Film Reviews

Casa de mi Padre

Will Ferrell commits 100% to this goofy, all-Spanish-language soap opera-cum-horse opera.

The FP

This potential cult-movie masterpiece is likely the most original dance film you'll see this year.

In Darkness

Agnieszka Holland, the director of Europa Europa, creates a blood-quickening Holocaust drama about Poles who were hidden in the sewers.

Jeff, Who Lives at Home

The Duplass brothers return with this finely observed slice of life starring Jason Segel, Ed Helms, and Susan Sarandon.

South by Southwest Film Festival 2012

There are a few days left, filmgoers; don't start slacking now.

A Thousand Words

Eddie Murphy plays a truth-challenged literary agent who learns his lesson when a bizarre set of circumstances allow him to utter only 1,000 words before dying.
