A chorus of women are borne from the movements of a single dancer in this dreamlike "pas de trente-deux."
"Choros" premiered at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in 2012 and has gone on to play dozens of festivals worldwide. The film is currently broadcast in Europe by Canal+.

A Compelling Iron Man(s)?

Gotta say...this is the deepest (looking) super-hero movie I can remember -- what used to be called 'dark', but nobody can use that descriptor with a straight face anymore.

Nothing looks phoned-in. It plays legit. If this delivers on what's promised in the trailer -- drama and depth of character rendered with genuine performances contrasted against strong action -- then we'll have a winner. The movie will appeal to adults, kids, and cinephiles, and 'Iron Man 3' will represent a new standard for the genre.

Like The Cover Of A Novel

Strictly a rental, but must-see.

Almost Sterile, But Nice...Sort Of

It's like good new age music. I'll give you a moment to think of the last time you heard good new age music. Yeah, that's what this movie is like.

Can't help wonder what kind of response 'The Host' will get. There's a lot of interest online but I'm thinking box office may not pan out that great.
