Review: The September Issue

An eye-opening, highly satisfying fashion documentary
The issue of Vogue currently crowding newsstands is the September issue, a 584-page monstrosity that's the hallowed mag's biggest production of the year.

Interview: Paula Deen

Storming the Bean

Review: Play the Game

A slow, painful, embarrassing death of dignity.
This is the kind of movie you stagger out of in a stunned trance.

Review: The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard

Idiotic, but not a total lemon
Cash for clunkers? Not completely.

Review: The Time Traveler's Wife

Review: Bandslam

Where the Disney Channel and MTV2 intersect

Review: District 9

Apartheid gets the sci-fi treatment
You have never seen anything like District 9 — or so went the early buzz for Neill Blomkamp's feature-length directorial debut. The concept is the stuff nerdgasms are made of: a vérité sci-fi thriller set in an alternate-reality South Africa where 2.5 million Cthulhu-faced bug aliens crash-land into human society and a zillion boffo explosions ensue.

Review: Aliens in the Attic

No amount of shitty CGI can save it
As a kid, I was absurdly unpicky about my entertainment: shoddy '80s anime , reruns of This Old House , staring cross-eyed at our basement's pegboard wall to achieve a Magic Eye 3-D effect — these were all totally acceptable ways of whiling away an afternoon.

Review: (500) Days of Summer

An odd romantic comedy, but a romantic comedy nonetheless
"This is not a love story," (500) Days of Summer 's disembodied narrator tells us. That's mostly a lie.

Into the heart of sharkness

Shark expert Greg Skomal torpedoes the Great White hype
Unless you are a spectacularly moronic daredevil hell-bent on getting shark-shanked, New Englanders are more likely to be mowed down by a molasses tsunami or felled by Lizzie Borden's ax than they are to die in the maw of Jaws.

Livin' la Vida Locavore

If farmers and artisans are packing their best goods and schlepping them to your 'hood, cheap, what's your excuse for not consuming them? 
Winter has always traumatized New Englanders, but because of the economy (thanks, rapacious mortgage-bundling douche bags!), this past season was particularly grim.

Style meets stylus

Eastern-inspired digital delights at the Brattle
It's a credit to Pixar's success that so many animated films of the past decade have been compelled to sport the sheen of CGI. But now that filmmakers have wrung reality out of 1's and 0's, they're starting to cast their eyes on the next frontier.

States of the art

New England museums worth traveling for
In New England, where you can't swing a sack of cranberries without hitting a venerable cultural institution, anyone with access to a car (or even a subway pass) can scope out these topnotch art museums.

Review: Fig Trees

Strikes a delicate balance among solemnity, wry humor, and rage
Here's a first: an AIDS documentary nested inside an opera that's obsessed with albino squirrels, figs, palindromes, and Pythagoras.

Review: Fruit Fly

Candy for the eye and ears
What Boston LGBT Film Festival would be complete without a campy, slightly smutty musical?

090508_otto_list

Review: Otto; or, Up With Dead People

Plods at an undead pace
"Wow, I just got a mental flash of thousands of zombies jumping over a shark."

Review: Nollywood Babylon

Covering vast territory at breakneck speed
You may have never heard of Living in Bondage , Desperate Billionaire , or any other works coming out of Nigeria's exploding homegrown film scene, but Nollywood has become the world's third-largest movie industry.

Review: Valentino: The Last Emperor
