Charlie Bartlett
A teen comedy without many laughs, a social satire that cuts so deep it leaves viewers squirming.

A Raisin in the Sun
The film takes great care to ignite those moments of emotional fires, burning within the dilapidated walls of the apartment.

Bella
The ideological battle lines are quickly drawn, distracting us from what a gentle tale Bella has to tell, even if one disagrees with its final judgments.

The Orphanage (El Orfanato)
One would think the whole 'spooky child' setup would have run its course, but this film finds a few new wrinkles to explore.

Charlie Wilson's War
Sorkin's signature dialogue -- smart, rapid fire chatter that packs a punch -- makes this the most engaging poli-sci class you'll ever attend.
