Amid this nation's debate over the so-called "Obamacare" plan, one

Drama Rod Lott
Definitely not to be confused with the Disney cartoon — or any adaptation of the fairy tale, for that matter — this Sleeping Beauty is kind of like if you chose one of the masked women from the orgy scene of Eyes Wide Shut, then were told her backstory for 101 minutes.
Thriller Rod Lott
Xavier Gens' The Divide
begins with a bang — a nuclear incident, to be precise — but goes out
with a whimper. For a film with one of the strongest trailers in recent
memory, it disappoints just as heavily. Divide, it will.
Comedy Rod Lott
Wonder what put lead in your great-grandfather's pencil? Watch any of
the six filmed burlesque shows collected on Something Weird Video's
double-disc Strip Strip Hooray! set. From 1949 to 1953, from 61 to 83 minutes, these stationary-camera pictures simply present what played out onstage.
Thriller Rod Lott
Two outcasts are better than one in Death and Cremation,
a better-than-average indie thriller, thanks mainly to mood. Even the
smallest of budgets can afford that, yet few think to invest in it.
Yes, another story about teen girls with octopus arms.

If you thought the X-Men series could use schoolgirl uniforms and
tools protruding from naughty bits, have the Sushi Typhoon guys got a
movie for you! It's called Mutant Girls Squad and, being from Japan, is three times crazier than America would think to make, or have the guts.
