    Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B; C- Review: A throwback to the posters for the original films, the full shot of Indy standing in front of, surprise, a Crystal Skull was utterly predictable and hardly noteworthy. The first poster harkened

    Jane Austen (1775-1817) is an author whose time has come again. Since the 1990s, films and handsome TV productions of her handful of novels published between 1810 and 1818, have been made, remade and reinterpreted numerous times. Where once only Pride and Prejudice was widely known as a cinematic work, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park,

    A long, but ultimately rewarding film, Andrew Dominik’s The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is informed by its gorgeous cinematography by ace Roger Deakins and the score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. Hailed as a revisionist take on a time-tested story, the film really doesn’t add much to the legend
