Mostly, Wild Parrots is a great, important, and unforgettable movie.

The result is a mood movie that sweeps you into its infatuation and holds you there.

Bubble is a strong film with a gorgeously minimal script by Coleman Hough. Soderbergh has directed his actors to perfection, rendering them indistinguishable from their roles. And, though the story resorts to sensationalism for its conflict, the film is eloquent in its portrayal of silence, depression, repression, denial and the woes of the Midwestern white working class.

A solid, well-crafted drama, with a tight script, sharp editing, and strong performances by the leads. Beware, however: This is no comedy.

An entertainment success, a triple threat of fresh writing, inspired directing, and, yes, good acting.

Wildly enjoyable look at the fifth-grade ballroom dance competition held annually in New York City.

Through hilarious and charming interviews with the kids, extended chat sessions with Green, a few words from parents, and a healthy dose of performance footage, we get a sense of what sort of community Green has created, for better and worse.

For all of its turgid self-importance, its anthropocentric theater of classical music and sound effects, Deep Blue is a gorgeous film with scene after scene of incredible footage.

Astonishing if imperfect nature documentary.

Supremely enjoyable.
