Review Spotlight

Ocean's Thirteen

In a clever script by Brian Koppelman & David Levien (who wrote the poker drama "Rounders"), the current Ocean heist is for friendship. A sleazy hotel and casino operator, played by Al Pacino, has suckered Ocean's friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) so badly that he was rushed to ICU with a critical heart condition.

Alexandra

The film offers a sympathetic view of independence-seeking Chechnya, where 50,000 civilians and 6,000 Russian soldiers lost their lives in the war of 1994. But it is also kind to the youthful soldiers who police the region where strife goes on. More

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
