  • Boogie Woogie (2009)
    Review preview for Boogie Woogie

    Less the free-form, jazzy ensemble satire on the art world it aspires to be than an over-elaborate and under-funny undertaking by high quality actors who should know better.

  • Titus (1999)
    Review preview for Titus

    Though the film had its moments - mostly in the deliciously playful nature of Shakespeare's dialogue - it's hard to see it matching the success of other recent adaptations of the Bard.
