Tribeca 2011: Klitschko Review
Documentary about boxing’s heavyweight champion brothers is beautiful to look at, despite some scenes that the squeamish may find barbaric and repulsive.

The history of the film industry in Yugoslavia under Tito is looked back upon fondly by some of its participants. Tito, only because he is dead, has no say in the production.
Hip Hop superstars are presented as royalty that can do no wrong. There is an attempt to inject conflict, but it feels like it has been added in order to make it appear fair and balanced.
Love story between two gentlemen in South America is good enough to hold your attention but not good enough.
Two sisters are murdered in the Philippines and a bunch of young men stand accused in a trial that gripped the country.
A North Korean defects to South Korea, only to find a life of self-imposed boredom, with some strife thrown in. And none of it is particularly gripping.
Saoirse Ronan fights for survival in this fairy tale-like actioner that is so much more than just action.
Russell Brand takes over for Dudley Moore, Mirren subs for Gielgud, and an overrated flick from 1981 returns from the dead. Effective, but uninspiring.
The "Pineapple Express" crew goes on a campy quest for laughs. And if you can take it at face value (and enjoy vulgarity), there is some humor there.
Sadly, the potential of this horror-thriller never quite emerges from the shadows.
