A disarmingly gentle account of a trip taken by revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara (Gael Garcia Bernal) across South America when he was 22. Directed by Walter Salles, the movie’s politics are subtle – you’d be hard-pressed to draw a line from here to the Cuban Revolution, of which Guevara was an instrumental part –

A somber, dark and artful crime drama set among the New York City subway yards, where the wheels of business turn on corruption and graft. Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and James Caan each give touching, tragic performances – their characters sigh with regret more than they talk – but it’s Joaquin Phoenix as a bribery

A grim family tragedy set in the aftermath of the sexual revolution. Kevin Kline plays a philandering husband and father in 1973 Connecticut who trudges halfheartedly through an affair with his neighbor (Sigourney Weaver).

A slick gangster wants to make a few more big bucks and then get out of the game, but his boss has other ideas. Sound familiar? It’s all too familiar in this British import, despite a high-strung lead performance from Daniel Craig. Director Matthew Vaughn furiously tries to develop his own style here, but it

Just the sort of noble bore Oscar usually loves, this latest two-hour-plus tale from director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) stars Jim Carrey as a blacklisted screenwriter who develops amnesia and is mistaken for a small-town hero lost in World War II. Darabont and Carrey are trying to whip up some sort
