Warning! You have reached the SPOILER version of the Hellboy II review. To re-direct to the non-spoiler version, click here. The temptation is to remark that if Hellboy was the appetizer, then Hellboy II: The Golden Army is the main course. To...

To the extent that slow-burn horror movies are about atmosphere, Hereditary has many of them beaten. Using the camerawork of Pawel Pogorzelski and the music of Colin Stetson to fashion the skeleton of a superbly moody background, first-time d...

The Hidden Fortress is the third-most influential of Akira Kurosawa's films (behind Rashomon and The Seven Samurai). Unlike many of the great Japanese director's best-known efforts, The Hidden Fortress has not been remade in another language, but ...

I suppose High Art is as good a name as any for this pretentious melodrama, an often-diverting but ultimately pointless attempt to wed intellectual twaddle with a soap-opera-ish lesbian romance. Lisa Cholodenko's film, which had its world premiere...
