National Treasure: Book of Secrets
The primary draw in the National Treasures is Nic Cage, odd and spasmodic, undeniably charismatic.

Capote (2005)
As Miller and Kimmel finish one another's sentences and demonstrate a charming sort of sync, the artists here suggest how Capote came to be such a tight, complex, and elegant film.

Ararat (2002)
As usual in Egoyan's films, tangled familial relationships inspire chaos and meanness as much as understanding and benevolence.

Swept Away (2002)
What Swept Away calls love, I would call the usual terror and degradation that keeps battered women in dangerous relationships.
