The punishing landscape of America between the coasts is punctuated by depression, desperation, and death in "Blood for Dust."

Here, I express some thoughts on the demolition of a local cinema.

A filmmaker absorbs his own plot in "The Devil's Tongue."

A selection of shorts and features that I'm planning on seeing.

Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1" is the sum of cinema's choices, and is damn near an untouchable masterpiece.

For all of its sincerity, "The Year of the Dog" just doesn't know what it is.

"Wildflower" uses sentimentality and sweetness to reach an understanding of independence.

"American Sikh" makes a pleasant discovery out of a horrible truth.
