Director David O. Russell returns from an extended absence (after the oddflop Joy) with an extended...well, it’s hard to say what, exactly. A spoof on the hard-boiled works of Humphrey Bogart? That would explain the Maltese Falcon voiceover, the Big Sleep meetup with the rich family trying to control its …
An attractively shabby Robert Mitchum, a pleasurably befuddling plot, and a gleefully wanton piece of destruction at the end when Mitchum steers a monstrous Caterpillar willy-nilly through a greenhouse. With Bradford Dillman, Richard Egan; directed by Robert Clouse.

The story is painfully straightforward: a nine-year-old English girl named Amy Winehouse is devastated when Dad breaks up with Mum. She takes up with boys, dabbles in drink and drugs, develops an eating disorder, and begins the slide toward disaster. What makes it noteworthy are the girl's incredible talents, both …
A me-myself-and-I film, starring as well as written, directed, edited, and co-produced by Julie Davis (I Love You, Don't Touch Me).

The creature itself, …
The rare Perennium Mortalis blooms but once every seven years in the jungles of Borneo, harboring behind its beauty a "pharmaceutical equivalent to the Fountain of Youth." ("That'd be bigger than Viagra!") Bad luck for the botanical team, then, that it's blooming during mating season for a strain of giant …

The obligatory token of respect and appreciation for 1999's Analyze This. In a word, the sequel, likewise directed by Harold Ramis. The revised concept: the vulnerable mobster gets himself released from prison, and into the custody of his former therapist, by singing the entire score of West Side Story nonstop. …
