Joshua Reviews Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s Cleopatra [Blu-ray Review]
The legendary epic now available on Blu-ray, in all of its over-budgeted glory.
Catherine Reviews Kim Ki-duk’s Pietà [Theatrical Review]
Beating The Master for the coveted Golden Lion at last year's Venice Film Festival, Kim Ki-duk's Pietà is emptily repugnant with no return value.

Joshua Reviews Albert Pyun’s Captain America [Blu-ray Review]
Is this a must own for fans or nothing more than a campy early-1990s action picture?
David Reviews Chris Smith’s The Pool [DVD Review]
This award-winning independent American film shot in India in 2006 finally has a well-deserved home video release.
David Blakeslee

Scott Reviews Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers [Theatrical Review]
Wheatley's follow-up to his 2011 triumph, Kill List, is nearly as twisted, and sharply hilarious.
Scott Reviews BFI’s COI Collection Volume 8 – Your Children and You [DVD Review]
The collection might be of more interest to historians than cinephiles, but parents of any stripe can still learn a lot from these postwar shorts.
