'Rachel Getting Married'
All the movie's goodness is ultimately contagious, since director Jonathan Demme makes you feel like you've been cordially invited to sit at the table. Blog

Review
'City of Ember'
The city in "City of Ember" is run-down and cheerfully sodden, a testament to the way things fall apart and time wounds all heels.- Video Watch the trailer
Review
'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist'
The film chases love through the streets of New York. Kat Dennings (left) and Michael Cera play teens in search of a secret concert in Manhattan.- Video Watch the trailer

Review
'Appaloosa'
The film is a warmly made, slightly offbeat movie about friendly devotion. It also happens to be a western, and every man in it is grizzled or wizened or both.- Video Watch the trailer

- Mortensen talks about 'Appaloosa'
Review
'Blindness'
The film is a perversely enjoyable, occasionally harrowing adaptation of José Saramago's 1995 disaster allegory.- Video Watch the trailer
Review
'Religulous'
The film, directed by Larry Charles of "Borat" fame, is rigged in Bill Maher's favor. But his smugness makes him a frustrating guide for this kind of quest.Review
'Miracle at St. Anna'
The film is Spike Lee's attempt at a rebuke of every movie anyone has ever made that's failed to recognize the contributions of black soldiers. Review
'The Duchess'
Keira Knightley plays the gifted and beautiful noblewoman who longs to be more than a breeder and who suffers for her society's cramped expectations.Latest news
