Crash
Writer-director Paul Haggis weaves an intricate tale of lives that wander perilously close in a racially charged Los Angeles.

Munich
In response to the assassination of the Israeli Olympics team in Munich in 1972, men are sent out to avenge the murders. Along the way they learn and grow but not in any way they might have ever expected. Spielberg may finally have his masterpiece.

Good Night, and Good Luck
Co-writer/director George Clooney's fascinating, intelligent spotlight on the efforts of CBS News, led by Edward R. Murrow, to bring down Sen. Joseph McCarthy. They don't make 'em like this anymore.

King Kong
There is a lot to be learned from Peter Jackson's stupendous remake of "King Kong", not the least of which is that it's still possible to create a huge, special effects-laden blockbuster with characters, brains and heart.

The New World
At once a history and a fantasy, Terrence Malick's masterful rendition of the life of Pocahontas is a visual poem and the finest film of his career.
