Review: A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
In Roman Coppola's sophomoric second feature (his 2001 debut CQ was promising), Charlie Sheen shows restraint as the titular asshole, a dissolute ad designer and solipsistic whiner who's mooning over the loss of his latest love.

Although set in Germany in the last days of World War II, Australian director Cate Shortland's harsh and poetic survival tale recalls the dreamlike allegory of Nicholas Roeg's Outback-set Walkabout (1971).

Review: Let My People Go!
First-time French director Mikael Buch makes it easy to categorize his characters in this sometimes funny, often strident farce.

Shadow of the Master: Park Chan-wook
Outside the frame
Park Chan-wook, whose Korean films Oldboy , Thirst , and others have earned him cult status in the West, acknowledges the similarities between his first Hollywood movie, Stoker , and Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt . Call it an homage, since a Hitchcock film convinced him to become a director.

Review: Beautiful Creatures
Mis spelled

Last action heroes?
