Experts that predicted the collapse are interviewed, alongside scholars and businessmen who still defend Wall Street and laissez-faire government. "This movie   More...

"Hmm, the poster looks cool, but I don't know about that title?" Listen, no one does. But Uncle Boonmee won the Golden Palm at Cannes 2010, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Blissfully Yours) has never let you down.

After years of rumors, planning, and delays, Terrence Malick released this ambitious, multi-layered, and divisive film about a boy's upbringing in a small Texas town in the 1950s. Well, that and the Big Bang, the time-space continuum, the origin of life on Earth, and the meaning of it all. (Piece of cake, right?) After a brief introduction to young Jack O'Brien (Hunter McCracken), his demanding   More...
