The Small 4 Months is as Big as Lifenew
You could diagram the content, the visual grammar, the momentous performances of Cristian Mungiu's Cannes Palme d'Or-winning 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days like a simple, lengthy sentence, and yet what remains awe-inspiring is the sensation you're left with when it's over: how on earth did he do this?

New Documentary Reveals American Torture Practicesnew
With a title like this we might expect a horror movie. At times, Alex Gibney's hard-hitting, often stomach-churning documentary Taxi to the Dark Side does indeed resemble entertainment aimed at adolescent males looking for vicarious-brutality thrills.

Latest Rambo Most Concise of Seriesnew
Not that the Vietnam vet ever stopped to smell the roses, but this is the wrong place to look for narrative twists or witty dialogue. Rambo doesn't even have a catchphrase or a worthy speech to make. He's too busy blowing shit up.
