Agora, a film by Alejandro Amenabar, captures a moment of upheaval in the world of Hypatia -- an astronomer and mathematician played by Rachel Weisz.

Splice is flashy and entertaining, but nothing special. It provides the kind of guilty-pleasure thrills that all sci-fi does.

A witty, fanciful and touching film, Ondine is part myth, part fairy tale, part wistful romance. It's quietly surprising in its own lovely way.

Stoller quickly runs out of ideas in this repetitive road movie, and, unfortunately, the movie quickly runs out of laughs because it has no third act, and barely has a second.

Neil Jordan and Colin Farrell, in New York for the screening of their film Ondine at the Tribeca Film Festival in late April, make an amusingly mismat...

Why are they making another sequel to two films which, future studies will show, can cause brain damage to anyone who watches them? Because adults don't matter to Hollywood.

Making a documentary is always a crapshoot, but Madeleine Sackler is hoping she'll get a little help from the headline. Sackler's documentary, The Lo...

Sackler's documentary follows Harlem families who rely on luck to ensure their children's education -- each family puts the child's name into a lottery at one of Harlem's charter school marvels.

ranik's film does something few Hollywood films attempt: to tell a truthful story about a family living below the poverty line that isn't about poverty itself.

Comedian Joan Rivers is, indeed, a piece of work. But you don't appreciate just what hard work it is until you see Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg's documentary, Joan Rivers -- A Piece of Work."

The chemistry between the haughty Chanel and the reserved Igor is sizzling. The film opens a window into two very different creative minds and shows the sparks they strike.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith as producers of the remake of The Karate Kid tells it all. You can almost hear the meeting where the idea was hatched, with Will Smith doing the talking.

Winter's Bone is unusual in its willingness to focus on characters living below the poverty line, without making poverty -- or drug addiction -- the focus of the film.

Here's a case where style (and the uber-creepy performance by Casey Affleck) inject the film with an energy and tension that almost compensate for its flaws.

Forget every other computer-animated film that's on the schedule for this summer: Toy Story 3, which is in 3D, is the one computer-animated film that you need to see.

Cyrus is a sneakily funny film, one with more emotional truth and wisdom than you'd expect, given the set-up. It's a deceptively perceptive curveball that goes right through the strike zone.

Jonah Hex is such a colossal waste of time that even thinking about seeing it would squander precious seconds of your life.

Even as he approaches 50, Tom Cruise broadens his range -- maybe not to a Cary Grant level of charm, perhaps, but certainly to something a lot less determined and disciplined than usual: something that approaches actual goofiness.

What's amazing to me is how hard some people work at reading political meaning into works that had no such ideas. Just because you can make a case for a metaphorical reading doesn't mean you should.

Grown Ups is a scam on the audience. What's alarming is that there is an entire generation who consider these guys the comedy touchstones of their era. This is why Generation X is doomed.

Who gets to be a critic? These days, just about anybody with a working computer, it seems. Or, in the case of Cody Gifford, anyone whose mom has her own TV show.

Love Ranch is neither a nostalgic look back at a simpler time nor a modern take on emerging or changing sexual standards. Instead, it's just another tawdry soap opera, tarted up with bigger names.

The title of the film Great Directors is exceptionally misleading, given that its real title should be People Whose Films I Like and Who Agreed to Be Interviewed By Me on Camera For This Movie.
