Shaft is still a ladies man, but the promiscuity that was a staple of the 70s film has given way to a flirting almost, dare I say it, indifference.

Capsule reviews of The Mendoza Line, The Widowers, Running Wild, and Bluebird
A heartbreaking work of super-duper-staggering genius.
Sex is a legitimate subject for art, and there have been countless films that have explored human sexuality. Here then are some suggestions for films that might be better uses of your time than would be watching the one that opens this weekend.
Do you think Crash gets a bad rap--or does the mere mention of the title set your teeth on edge?

Hoovey is the sort of film about which a youth pastor or sleep-over-host parent can skim a capsule summary and know exactly what he or she is getting.
Kerry and Chris Shook's conversational, observational new book is worth pausing to recommend for one big reason.
The film that writer/director Corbin Bernsen name checks in his video introduction is Sleepless in Seattle.

Based on that philosophy, Christian Mingle is first and foremost a Romantic Comedy and only secondarily a Christian film.
Human Capital ("Il capitale umano") is a cross between Crash and Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth.
