All the Right Movesnew
What could be more adorable than 10-year-olds in a ballroom dance competition? With great music, cute kids, and a triumphant climax, this documentary on the annual competition is wildly enjoyable.

Indie Gothic Goes Southnew
This film enjoys a setting drenched in signification (New Orleans), accomplished photography and several rich personalities. But it never gels. Primarily, it can't rise above two major weaknesses: a plangent, plaintive script and the inadequacies of John Travolta.

Den of Iniquitynew
This delightful Spanish drama is worth seeing for its calm, apt depiction of its principal characters, a gay "bearish" uncle and the nephew he parents. An opening scene of sex between men has been bowdlerized from the American print.
