Bella

Leticia Velasquez | 24 October 2007 | comment 17

Against the odds, a Latino love story won the People's Choice Award at Toronto. Don't be surprised if it turns up at this year's Oscars.

Michael Clayton

Leticia Velasquez | 17 October 2007 | comment 5

'Truth can be adjusted' runs this movie's tagline - but for how long? A tale of corporate crisis which forges character.

Bourne again

William Park | 03 September 2007 | comment 5

That the ends do not justify the means is the unlikely theme of this very satisfying spy trilogy.

The Nanny Diaries

Leticia Velasquez | 31 August 2007 | comment 1

A popular film sets out to critique upper-class Manhattan mores but makes a disappointing concession to them.

No Reservations

Ana Ines Trapp | 02 August 2007 | comment 1

An engaging movie about a lady chef's discovery of the meaning of good work, relationships and love.

A Mighty Heart

Justin Myers | 25 June 2007 | comment 4

This tense and unsentimental film about the murder of American journalist Daniel Pearl by jihadists is compelling viewing.

Latino films that inspire

Guiomar Barbi | 12 April 2007 | comment 6

Hispanic young people get a lot of bad press. Now they have two good movies that go beyond problems to the heart of their culture.

Amazing Grace

Justin Myers | 20 March 2007

The inspiring story of how one man changed history by getting England to abolish the slave trade.

A spy thriller takes a look at the mystery of evil through the case of an FBI agent who became the most damaging traitor in US history. 

Letters From Iwo Jima

Justin Myers | 02 February 2007 | comment 1

The Japanese perspective on a World War II battle seems very different from the American - until you see the faces of the soldiers.

Apocalypto

Justin Myers | 10 December 2006 | comment 1

Mel Gibson has created a savage, violent film with heart-pounding action and moments of great beauty.

FOCUS ON CHRISTMAS
The Nativity Story

Guiomar Barbi | 01 December 2006

This faithful retelling of the birth of Christ has an unusually relevant message.

The Queen

William Park | 20 November 2006

Stephen Frears has made a brilliant film out of the royal family's reaction to the death of the People's Princess.

Flags of Our Fathers

Justin Myers | 19 November 2006

Clint Eastwood's new film raises interesting questions about the meaning of heroism.

Children of Men
