Ashanti $3.66 These days, R&B girls are a dime a dozen, but Ashanti Douglas is a step ahead of the pack. Youthful appeal and a pleasantly dreamy voice complement the 21-year-old singer/songwriter’s ability to pen her own radio-friendly verses. However, Ashanti’s young’un status shows itself through her treatment of the usual R&B-girl subject matter: love standing strong, love gone bad, and the search for love o…

The Band’s Visit $5.24 Can movies change the world? In a word, no. But Israeli writer and director Eran Kolirin’s utterly charming and engaging The Band’s Visit suggests that if we could somehow put aside the politics and the religion, stifle the governments and the rhetoric, and mix in a little Gershwin, maybe even people with a history of cross-cultural suspicion and hostility really can get along.

Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer play the women who discover their untapped magical powers by accident. The smart an…

Allen is Allan Felix, a film critic on the rebound after his wife’s desertion trying to brave the ch…

Kevin James: Sweat The Small Stuff …

Small Change [VHS] $1.59 Critic Pauline Kael neatly summed up the timeless appeal of François Truffaut’s 1976 film by calling it “that rarity–a poetic comedy that’s really funny.” In other words, Truffaut’s brilliant, upbeat study of resilient children in a French village is both artistically satisfying and joyously entertaining, proving yet again (after his acclaimed debut film The 400 Blows) that few directors remembe…
