Movie ReviewsMovie Review | 'Frost/Nixon' It’s twinkle versus glower in the big-screen edition of Peter Morgan’s theatrical smackdown “Frost/Nixon.” Movie Review | 'Cadillac Records' “Cadillac Records” is a rollicking and insightful celebration of Chicago blues in its hectic golden age. ADVERTISEMENT  Movie Review | 'The Black Balloon' Would you be able to cope? That is the challenge laid down by “The Black Balloon,” a portrait of a middle-class Australian family whose oldest son has severe autism. Movie Review | 'Nobel Son' “Nobel Son” is an aggressively noisy exercise in style over substance about nasty people doing nasty things to one another in (sigh) Southern California. Movie Review | 'Punisher: War Zone' You will see “Punisher: War Zone” or not, and it will make about as much sense to you either way. Movie Review | 'Ciao' Deeply sincere and exceedingly slow even at 87 minutes, “Ciao” involves two strangers who become acquaintances after the death of a mutual friend. Movie Review | 'Let Them Chirp Awhile' “Let Them Chirp Awhile” is a painfully unsympathetic take on postcollegiate New Yorkers who think themselves artists but don’t have an original thought in their heads. Movie Review 'Dust' “Dust” is an eccentric and profoundly informative documentary. Movie Review 'The End of America'“The End of America” is an unsettling documentary polemic about the erosion of civil liberties in the wake of 9/11.

Questions for Kelly Reichardt The filmmaker talks about why a dog (even her own) can’t always save us, what crime-scene photos taught her about filmmaking and why she hates B&B’s.  Mickey Rourke gets his career off the mat with “The Wrestler.” But there is plenty that he’s still battling.  Although professional wrestling can be a funny film subject, Robert Siegel, a former editor in chief of The Onion, is not shooting for laughs with “The Wrestler.” One school of animators addresses modern subject matter with old-fashioned techniques.  Blanchett, DiCaprio, Hathaway, Hoffman, Langella, Penn, Pitt, Streep, Winslet: The Carpetbagger asks who will walk the red carpet with a statue at stake?
