American Hardcore Review
Reverent documentary about the hardcore punk music scene from 1980-86 is as messy and unfocused as the movement it holds so dear. Just as it should be.

Stilted mess of a noir by Brian De Palma only loosely tied to the infamous Los Angeles murder case.
Filipino transvestites and Hasidim makes for odd but only so-so entertainment.
Competent but hollow dramatization of the life and suspicious death of actor George Reeves.
Nicholas Cage felt compelled to remake The Wicker Man. Why?
A young Mexican girl in Los Angeles experiences a rite of passage with the expected bumps in the road.
Ed Norton as sorcerer or magician or both, is unable to levitate this period piece a notch above the ordinary.
Yes, they’ve made this underdog-gets-a-shot-at-the-pros sports movie about a hundred times, but when it’s done well (as it is here), it still works.
Disappointingly muddled throwback to 1930s musicals with some, but not enough, hip-hop flavor thrown in from the group OutKast.
Spike Lee’s gripping, important chronicle of Hurricane Katrina and the criminally slow reaction of the federal government should be mandatory viewing for any American.
