  • Excerpt: “Bidder 70” is the true story of the frustrating, discouraging irony that sometimes befalls the good guy who stands up for the right side.

Night Across the Street

Marilyn Ferdinand @ Ferdy on Films

  • Excerpt: There is no question that Chilean director Raul Ruiz’s Night Across the Street is challenging, but as its director’s final complete effort, it bids farewell to his career, his life, and his unique gifts in an extremely satisfying way.

Post Tenebras Lux

Philip Concannon @ Phil on Film

Secret of the Wings

Luke Bonanno @ DVDizzy.com

Drive

Enrique Buchichio @ Cartelera.com.uy [Spanish]
