Castrating Alfienew
The original is a classic, and for good reason. Michael Caine’s seduction artist was a heel and a creep -- one who finds no redemption in the end. Conversely, there is no darkness in this version that a few sessions with a decent therapist and the right woman couldn't fix.

Maculate Conceptionnew
Saved! falls short of its mark. It's not bad, but uses its intermittent satire as a Trojan horse to deliver a message about intolerance.

Ended Summernew
Robb Moss had a 16-millimeter movie camera in 1978, and he took it with him when he and a group of his closest friends went to the Grand Canyon for a summer on the river, a summer of floats and kayaks, heart-stoppingly gorgeous scenery, open-fire meals and the politics of fading adolescence.

In Space, No One Can Hear You Laughnew
For a synopsis, read a different review. It’s enough to know that a bunch of walking lunchboxes in a confined space (OK, a giant subterranean pyramid) in the middle of nowhere (all right already, half a mile under Antarctica) find out the hard way that they’re not alone.
