Provoked (2007) |
A melodrama dressed up just enough to hold interest, in the retelling of an undeniably important story. - GreenCine

I Am Legend (2007) |
I Am Legend is three film genres for the price of one: Science Fiction, Action, and Horror, and while it's no classic in any one arena it remains edgy fun. - GreenCine

Exiled (2006) |
Exiled veers on the pretentious ...but the whole thing has such a humor about itself that it's hard to carp about it. - GreenCine

Killer of Sheep (1977) |
The fantastic thing about this beautiful film is how little it tries to make a statement about anything; it is, simply, life. - GreenCine

Sharkwater (2006) |
If the film sometimes gets choppy, the filmmaker's passion for the subject and the disturbing revelations to be gained from watching the film make it more than worthwhile. - GreenCine

Blast of Silence (1961) |
The lost noir classic starts off a bit dubiously... but the increasingly sleazy, realistic atmosphere begins to take hold of you, until you're fairly well rapt. - GreenCine

It's surprising how touching the simple film is. The marvelous photography makes viewing it a breathtaking experience. - GreenCine

The Unforeseen (2007) |
If The Unforeseen has a fault, it would be a slight lack of focus. A flawed, but beautiful documentary. - GreenCine

It's not up there with the best of the animated Peanuts shorts... but will still leave Peanuts nostalgists as happy as a warm puppy. - GreenCine

War, Inc. (2008) |
This absurdist political farce has its moments but requires a deft touch for satire ... perhaps no one could have made the uneven script work. - GreenCine

Encounters at the End of the World (2007) |
...May not have the shock and drive of Grizzly Man, but it's a poignant and even haunting work nonetheless - GreenCine

Wackness (2008) |
With a game cast and cool songs from the era... heartfelt moments battling clumsy ones, The Wackness isn't quite dope but, like a good mixtape it is full of highlights. - GreenCine

In the Electric Mist (2009) |
Tavernier captures the moody, misty Louisiana atmosphere and has a low-key, slow pace that fits the energy of the sticky South. - GreenCine

Tell No One (2006) |
Tell No One has shades of Hitchcock's Vertigo -- and not to its detriment. [An] extremely gripping and fascinating suspense film. - GreenCine

Sugar (2008) |
Full of life, even sexy and at times bouncy (and with a fine score), Sugar is a lovely, moving treat... full of rich supporting characters. - GreenCine

Hansel & Gretel (2007) |
The story gets a bit convoluted as it rolls on, rushing through a few too many plot points and explanations, but slowly builds the layers of dread. - GreenCine

Jerichow (2008) |
Jerichow is not the masterfully complex work that Yella* was, but it's very tightly constructed and made, showing in some ways Peltzold's maturity as a filmmaker. - GreenCine

Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) |
Between the wry trademark Jarmusch deadpan humor (and there is quite a bit of it) and the great cast, this one is worth a look, particularly for those already in the Jarmusch camp. - GreenCine
