By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Ruba Nadda
Starring: Alexander Siddig | Amina Annabi | Patricia Clarkson | Tom McCamus

Bruce says: “For sure, I’m a huge Patricia Clarkson fan. I’m also known for little loyalty to those I hold in high esteem. So, I am thrilled to report that Ms. Clarkson has never been better than she is in

Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo (2010)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Jessica Oreck

Jason says: “BEETLE QUEEN CONQUERS TOKYO would be a fine name for a tacky kaiju sci-fi movie (heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been used). It’s not that, not even a little. Instead of being another bizarre and fantastic

Best Worst Movie (2010)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Michael Stephenson

Ivy says: “Because of the Brattle’s role in the making of this film I am predisposed to like it. I watched it before having ever seen TROLL 2 (the best worst movie that this doc is referring to) but had

At World’s End (2010)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Tomas Villum Jensen
Starring: Birgitte Hjort Sørensen | Birthe Neumann | Nicolas Bro | Nikolaj Coster-Waldau | Nikolaj Lie Kaas

Aftershock (2010)

Jason says: “It’s not hard to get the wrong impression of AFTERSHOCK; the poster in the theater lobby notes that it was released in IMAX (interestingly, though showing the North American release date, the text on that one-sheet is almost

127 Hours (2010)

Jason says: “There is not a whole heck of a lot to 127 HOURS, story-wise: Guy goes climbing on his own, gets pinned by a falling boulder, and has to figure out a way to get out of a thoroughly

The Young Victoria (2009)

Jason says: “A quality, old-fashioned costume drama, well-done enough that there’s really not a whole lot to say about it. Emily Blunt is fairly impressive in the title role, humanizing a figure often thought of as little but stern and

You the Living (2009)

Michael says: “It’s nearly impossible to describe the absurdist films of Roy Andersson, whose SONGS FROM THE SECOND FLOOR was a minor Chlotrudis hit several years ago. Andersson’s films examine the human condition, with sly, deadpan humor, and static shots

New York, I Love You (2009)

Thom says: “This companion piece to PARIS JE T’AIME isn’t quite as good as the Paris version. The former concentrated on all different districts of the ‘City of Light,’ each with its own yarn, and was quite a bit more
