War of the Worlds is rated PG-13. Much of the earth's population is wiped out, leaving very little time for sex or bad language.

Campaign may invite a certain skepticism about democracy, but it will surely restore your faith in cinema verite.

Subtle, funny and touching, with a striking downbeat authenticity. Director Craig Zobel is the real thing.

Recently, I took my son to see The Haunted Mansion, which was one of the worst things (I hesitate even to call it a movie) that I have ever seen. He thought it was better than Finding Nemo and we had a fruitless argument which I'm sure made him acutely aware of the disadvantages of having a film critic for a dad.
