It's 2004. TVs everywhere are blasting either Dubya's empty bromides or John Kerry's narcotic drone. Square-jawed war veteran Tommy Lee Jones gets a phone call telling him that his soldier son, just back from Iraq, has gone mysteriously AWOL. Soon after Jones drives out to the New Mexico base, his son is found-but in the form of charred severed hands and a head. Jones takes on the investigation himself, eventually enlisting the aid of underutilized single-mom detective Charlize Theron. Meanwhile, Jones receives reconstructed video files from his son's mobile that reveal oblique but increasingly damning footage of soldierly misconduct. Elah's central purpose is clear, and not unworthy of praise: depicting the egregious psychological toll the mishandled Iraq War has had on soldiers, effec...

[Jeff Garlin] stars as James, the resident "fat guy" in Chicago's Second City comedy troupe. Pushing 40, he still lives with his mother and has the worrisome habit of confessing to far too many people that he hasn't had sex in five years. In a slightly episodic collection of scenes that might sound familiar to anybody who's seen Garlin's standup act, most of the movie is spent watching James get dumped-by girlfriends, managers, agents, casting directors and pretty much every possible employer in Illinois. Yeah, this sounds like a drag, but somehow Garlin maintains a buoyant, humanistic tone throughout the parade of humiliations. There's not-a bitter moment in the film, and his attitude seems to be one of affability in the face of adversity. Longing for the role of a lifetime, James stru...

P.M. GUYS AND BALLS. Sherry Horman's enjoyable comedy is the familiar story about a ragtag sports team that must battle ridiculous odds to defend its honor. The twist here is that Ecki, a sweet young German baker who's just come out, must round up a team to prove that gay men can play soccer as well as, if not better than, any heteros. So bring on the leather threesome, the femme Turk with a Beckham fixation, the hot male nurse, the Brazilian brothers and the straight guy pretending to be gay -- and get 'em out on the pitch. The reputation of Dortmund's footie queers is on the line! (The German word for "team" is "Mannschaft," so you can start giggling now.) In German, with subtitles. SouthSide Works :30 P.M. EIGHTEEN. From its mysterious car-crash opening sequence right through the ...

If you ask me, they were kind of boring at the time, all "Roger that" and "A-OK." But it turns out they're regular (and now seasoned) raconteurs, bursting with humor and insight. And some of them even have a touch of the poet, as when one recalls the planet he left behind floating in space "like a jewel hung in the blackness." [David Sington] doesn't really address whether it was worth going to the moon, given that nobody's been back since 1972. But the silence of Neil Armstrong, who once again dodged the world's attention by declining to be interviewed, speaks volumes. He's never been able to quite make peace with the fact that he was the first man to walk on the moon. Or maybe he just doesn't have the words to describe his giant leap for mankind. But the others sure do. And it's both ...

De igual forma, la cinta muestra la ineficiencia del gobierno americano para rescatar a las víctimas de esta plaga que cada vez más azota a la Nación. Esto, aparentemente, porque no se considera al tráfico humano como una amenaza para el país y ante este pensar, como muestra la película, muchas víctimas no se encuentran porque sencillamente no se están buscando. El libreto, escrito por José Rivera, nomindado al Oscar por The Motorcycle Diaries, nos presenta la amargo recorrido que atraviesa Jorge ([Cesar Ramos]) para rescatar a su hermana Adriana (Paulina Gaitán) de 13 años, quien es secuestrada por depredadores sexuales mexicanos y quienes la introducen -y nos hacen ver- los puntos de acopio existentes entre la tierra mexicana y Estados Unidos.
