'American Teen' Asks 'Do We Ever Grow Up?'new
Some of the things the kids do on camera are the kinds of things they'd never, ever do if they thought their parents were watching. And, some of the things they say on camera are the kinds of things they'd never, ever say to a parent's face. That's why adults would get more out of this film than teenagers.

'Beowulf': Dead Men Walkingnew
It would be unfair to call the soulless, heartless and corporate Beowulf pornographic. Pornography, at least, attempts to engage us, if only on a level of animal instinct.

'Martian Child' Bonds with Sci-fi Lovenew
Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by science-fiction writer David Gerrold, Martian Child is a perfectly apt exploration of love and family in the early 21st century.
