DVD Review: Duma
A boy and his cheetah in Africa. Suitable for children, but not complex enough to satisfy adult viewers.

DVD Review: Water
Visually sumptuous and important drama about the fate of widows in traditional Hindu culture.

Movie Review: Brick
Interesting academic exercise, putting high school students into a film noir situation, but ill-served by the writing and editing.
20
DVD Review: Der Tunnel
Tense and dramatic suspense/thriller based on the true story of a tunnel dug under the Berlin Wall.
A densely layered and convoluted satire on filmmaking, using the most "unfilmable" work in English literature as its subject.

DVD Review: Riding Giants
Excellent documentary on the evolution of surfing, appealing to non-surfers by playing up the human element.

DVD Review: Revengers Tragedy
Bold, genre-mixing update of a 1606 revenge play.
16
DVD Review: The Matador
Fun buddy picture that shows the flip side of Brosnan's sophisticated Bond persona, but a bit too lightweight.

DVD Review: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Excellent self-referential comedy/action/mystery with many nods to film noir conventions and classics.

A 1968 period piece showcasing the clash of the conformist establishment with the hippie subculture.
