Talk To Me (2007)
Part biopic, part portrait of an era, Talk to Me presents an ongoing dilemma -- what does it mean to be "black enough" and how does "talk" shape the question and answers?

Future Shock: The Death of Serious Science Fiction
The serious Science Fiction film genre is dead or at least on cinematic life support. As the new millennial marches forward, and an omnipresent production paradigm that substitutes spectacle for smarts, futurist filmmaking is definitely gasping for breath.

Monkey Business (Part 3: July)
Finally, a month with only one remaining series contender. All wizard based Potter-y aside, this will be the most tenuous time for the business called show.

Even with so much attention paid to her body and to her child, Kee's story is secondary to Theo's, as his loss of hope must be undone and his past redressed.

Kinky Boots (2006)
Chiwetel Ejiofor is the reason to see Kinky Boots. Always charismatic and compelling, he is here also fabulous.

Love Actually (2003)
On occasion, the film allows a jaded sensibility to worm its way into this otherwise picturesque world.

Dirty Pretty Things (2002)
Dirty Pretty Things is a film about beaten down, exhausted, tenaciously hopeful workers.
