The venerable Superman mythos gets a 21st-century updating in the imaginative and engaging TV series Smallville. The premise of the show--Superman as a teenager--takes up just a few pages in Superman's very first comic-book appearance (in Action Comics back in 1938), but producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar flesh out that period by portraying young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) not as the noble Superman-in-waiting, but as an average teen with some not-so-ordinary supernatural powers, including incredible strength and heat vision (Clark hasn't lifted up, up, and away as of yet). Clark's desire to fit in with his peers and make sense of his extraordinary abilities grounds him in very realistic and identifiable terms for the series' primarily under-25 audience, as does his appealing and tentative romance with Kristen Kreuk as Clark's dreamgirl Lana Lang. But Smallville also strikes gold when it takes a turn towards more comic-book territory, as evidenced by the parade of shape-shifting killers and other outlandish antagonists (many generated, in one of the series' most ingenious notions, by the same devastating meteor shower that brought the infant Clark to Earth) that Clark must harness his powers to face and defeat. Gough and Millar, along with their capable cast (which includes Michael Rosenbaum as a young and already bald-pated Lex Luthor, and Annette O'Toole and John Schneider as the Kents) manage to pull off the precarious high-wire act of combining science fiction with coming-of-age drama to create this highly watchable programme. --Paul Gaita

As the Lich King's zombie legions ravage the world, Marek, a cursed young sorceress, embarks on a quest to obtain a weapon from the gods, with her friend Dagen, a self-serving half-elf rogue.

Inspired by Dwight Eisenhower's legendary farewell speech filmmaker Eugene Jarecki surveys the scorched landscape of a half-century's military adventures asking how - and telling why - a nation of by and for the people has become the savings-and-loan of a system whose survival depends on a state of constant war. Why We Fight won the Grand Jury Prize (Documentary) at the Sundance Film Festival. It is an unflinching look at the anatomy of the AMerican War Machine weaving unforgettable personal stories with commentary by a 'who's who' of military and Washington insiders. Featuring John McCain Gore Vidal William Kristol Chalmers Johnson Richard Perle and others.
A must-see for anyone who enjoyed the Pacino/Williams remake which unusually for Hollywood treated the source material with the respect it deserved by remaining faithful to the original film's premise plot and its lead character's unique predicament and simply transplanting the action from Norway to Alaska. Celebrated but recently disgraced Swedish cop Jonas Engstrom (Stellan Skarsgard) and his partner Erik Vik (Sverre Anker Ousdal) are transferred to northern Norway the land o
Collection of three British crime dramas. In 'Dangerous Mind of a Hooligan' (2014) football hooligan Danny (Paul Marlon) and his three friends, Tony (Simon Phillips), Caeser (Samuel Anoyke) and Rowntree (Roger Griffiths), are forced on the run after a bank robbery goes wrong and leaves them with no clean getaway, a hostage and numerous bags of stolen money. While being pursued across the country by the police, the group's alliances are put to the test as they begin to question who they can trust. 'Undercover Hooligan' (2016) sees police officer Michael Clarke (Kris Johnson) suspended from duty for his excessive use of violence and given the dangerous task of infiltrating an infamous London gang with the end goal of bringing down its leader Terence Turner (Patrick Connolly). Taken in by his new lifestyle, Clarke's superiors can only watch as he is drawn deeper into the underground world of gangs and violence. Finally, in 'Hooligan Legacy' (2016), after a daring robbery of a football stadium goes wrong, the leader of a notorious football firm is sentenced to ten years in prison. When he's finally released, he eagerly seeks revenge against those responsible for putting him behind bars.
One nonfiction film that truly creates a narrative journey, My Architect is filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn's engrossing search for his father. Louis Kahn, one of the most celebrated architects of the 20th century, died in 1974 and left behind a highly compartmentalized life, including two children born out of wedlock to two mistresses. Nathaniel interviews the members of this somewhat puzzled family, but his deepest experiences are visits to the buildings that his father made (such as the grand Salk Institute in La Jolla, California), culminating in an emotional trip to Bangladesh. Here, Louis Kahn designed a massive government complex, a soaring achievement (and fascinating paradox--a Muslim capital designed by a Jewish man). This film asks: where does an artist truly live? In his life, or in the work he leaves behind? Nathaniel Kahn takes an amazingly even-tempered approach to this, given his personal stake in the story, and the result is a uniquely stirring movie. --Robert Horton

Jackie Chan in his first American film takes on heavy-hitting 1930's mobsters in the ultimate street-fighting competition.

With good production values and a load of suspense, the direct-to-video thriller Atomic Train delivers the goods--ahead of schedule. A rich bureaucrat with a Porsche, a goatee and a defective sense of morality places a defective Russian nuclear warhead aboard a defective American train for cheap disposal but the engine loses its brakes and hurls out of control toward Denver. Will it explode? Will it wipe out half the city? Will the thoughts and prayers of the President--played by Edward Herrmann, in his best Chrysler-salesman mode--do any good? Will Rob Lowe, the major hero of this epic, ever be able to save his career? Atomic Train hauls along every disaster-flick formula you can think of: an estranged couple bonding again during a time of crisis; urban rioting and mayhem; government officials wearing headsets and breathlessly watching video monitors; trigger-happy military men; high-speed stunts; escapes by helicopter; clean-up crews in white spacesuits; many scenes of families being reunited after sub-plot cliffhangers, to major-key crescendos on the soundtrack. The only stereotypical element missing is a dog saved from a fire at the last minute. But, you have to admit, what Atomic Train does it does with pizzazz, a post-Armageddon tone of overly heroic but ultimately disposable machismo and explosions... lots of explosions. --Robert Burns Neveldine, Amazon.com
