Recommended The Film: As some modern movie adaptations of popular young-adult books elevate expectations of what they're capable of, there are a slate of recent others — from The Mortal Instruments to The Host and Percy Jackson — that serve as a reminder of the turbulence still plaguing the subgenre.

Rent It THE FILM: Fading Gigolo is the fifth film directed by John Turturro, who has north of 75 acting roles to his credit. Turturro stars here, too, along with Woody Allen, and it seems the tables have turned for the senior lead.

Highly Recommended It's hardly just another movie. Parts like the leading role of Audra come around once in a lifetime, and that's if you're lucky. Samantha Sherwood (Samantha Eggar) fought like hell to get her hands on the film rights to the legendary play, and she's willing to go to whatever extreme lengths are necessary to see it done justice
Recommended Conceived as a three-hour roadshow but shorn of an hour by its disenchanted director prior to its release, Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970) in its 125-minute form was met with mixed reviews and tepid box-office.
Rent It Many eighteen-year-olds are unhappy with their lives, but Nate Norman's (Jonathan Daniel Brown) unhappiness extends to the rest of his family: his mother (Amanda Tapping) waitresses and barely makes enough ends meet for a cramped home where Nate and his younger brother Phillip (Mark Hills) squeeze in among clutter and junk. Nate himself delivers pizzas, which seems like a dead end until …
Recommended The Movie: “You dirty, lousy Mick! You got no rules!” Of course not. When you're a tough, old supercop who is a little Dirty Harry , a little Bullitt , and all John Wayne, you make your own rules. That's the conceit, at least, of the 1975 fish-out-of-water cop thriller Brannigan .
