Tambourine (Dayereh hamzi)
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:14:58 -0500
Film Reviews: Southside Tehran meets northside Tehran in Parisa Bakhtavar's uneven but periodically clever comedy debut, "Tambourine," which observes the lives of condo dwellers upturned by the entry of a young woman and her friendly but gullible new pal.
The Fortress (La Forteresse)
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:11:02 -0500
Film Reviews: Using a pure docu style unencumbered by direct-to-camera interviews, Fernand Melgar takes his observational but still impassioned eye into a Swiss detention center for asylum seekers.
A Road to Mecca –The Journey of Muhammad Asad
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:55:02 -0500
Film Reviews: An Ashkenazi Jew's transformation into one of the most influential thinkers of modern Islam is explored in Austrian helmer Georg Misch's provocative docu.
The Eternity Man
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:51:05 -0500
Film Reviews: Julien Temple, visual high priest of both rock and punk ("Absolute Beginners," "The Filth and the Fury," "Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten"), ventures into thornier ground in adapting Jonathan Mills and Dorothy Porter's contemporary hour-plus opera about sublime repetition Down Under.
Khamsa
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:49:39 -0500
Film Reviews: "Khamsa" marks a welcome return to form for director Karim Dridi, largely thanks to a superlative perf by non-pro juve lead Marc Cortes. In this "400 Blows"-type walkabout, the impetus is not flight but a desperate desire to go home again, home being a Gypsy encampment in Marseilles.
33 Scenes From Life (33 szeny z zycia)
Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:15:55 -0500
Film Reviews: Rising helmer Malgoska Szumowska continues to mine semiautobiographical material with "33 Scenes From Life," but the results develop across emotional arcs in less than satisfactory ways.

Rotten Tomatoes: Movies

84% Tropic Thunder
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:05:06 -0700
With biting satire, plenty of subversive humor, and an unforgettable turn by Robert Downey, Jr., Tropic Thunder is a triumphant late Summer comedy.
94% The Dark Knight
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:05:06 -0700
Dark, complex and unforgettable, The Dark Knight succeeds not just as an entertaining comic book film, but as a richly thrilling crime saga.
18% The Clone Wars
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:05:06 -0700
Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise.
15% Mirrors
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:05:06 -0700
After HIGH TENSION and THE HILLS HAVE EYES, French director Alexandre Aja stays firmly grounded in horror territory with MIRRORS.
68% Pineapple Express
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:05:06 -0700
Both funny and scatter shot, this loose-knit action/buddy/stoner comedy bridges genres and keeps a steady tempo of low ball laughs.
37% The Rocker
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 03:05:06 -0700
The Rocker tells the story of a failed drummer who is given a second chance at fame. Robert "Fish" Fishman (Rainn Wilson) is the extremely dedicated and astoundingly passionate (not to mention sweaty) drummer for the eighties hair band Vesuvius, who is living the rock n' roll dream until he is unceremoniously kicked out of the band.
