The Battle of Algiers
Grade: A Gillo Pontecorvo’s legendary 1965 documentary-style dissection of terrorist stubbornness was recently screened at the Pentagon for military officials to inform U.S. operations in Iraq. (At the Music Box Theatre)
Something’s Gotta Give
Grade: C- Relying on gimmicks as opposed to character development, this mediocre, star-studded, over-the-hill romantic comedy has waaay too many scenes of old people making out. And Keanu Reeves a doctor? Come on now.
Stuck on You
Grade: B+ Surprisingly mellow, unconventional and punctuated by the Farrelly Brothers’ bizarre sympathies for the handicapped, this underseen comedy is worth seeking out.
