4/5	"The plight of height challenged (or to be more politically correct: 'short-stature') men is put under the lens of one of their number -- director/writer Howard Goldberg -- who provides an at times hilarious, informative and disturbing dissertation." -- JWR Posted May 7, 2008	S & M: Short & Male (2008)	n/a
4/5	"How can such a convoluted plot turn into such a cinematic pleasure? Put director Kenji Mizoguchi in charge." -- JWR Posted May 7, 2008	Oyu-Sama (1951)	n/a

2/5	"Barnett seems content to stage the production as if it was in the confines of a theatre rather than the wide-open reaches of film. The frequent use of voice-over letters to tell rather than show the important background information from his brother/art d" -- JWR Posted May 2, 2008	The Eyes of Van Gogh (2004)	n/a
4.5/5	"The film stops abruptly, landing an emotional punch that will linger in memory for months with its all-too-sad truth." -- JWR Posted May 2, 2008	The Saddest Boy in the World (2006)	n/a
4.5/5	"While this gritty, "in the moment," at times indecipherable journey into the uncensored life of San Francisco street hustlers may attract a legion of voyeurs eager to watch the dirty details of the quick-release allure of sex for cash, those who "last" to" -- JWR Posted May 2, 2008	25 Cent Preview (2007)	n/a
4.5/5	"Bruce La Bruce's latest offering is a deadly affair of heavily politicized metaphors that overflows with imagination, angst and a smattering of good old fashioned porn." -- JWR Posted May 2, 2008	Otto; or, Up with Dead People (2008)	n/a
3.5/5	"An insiders guide to spitting out scripts" -- JWR Posted Apr 1, 2008	The Dialogue - Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (2006)	n/a

	"...this film -- despite its penchant for black and white narrative when many shades of grey are needed -- needs to be seen and discussed" -- JWR Posted Oct 1, 2007	Road to Victory (2007)	88%
4.5/5	"So begins the dance for Patrice Leconte�s film that, in the tradition of Norman McLaren (cross-reference below) is more a celebration of movement and music than a parable for our over-communicative, friend-lite, acquaintance-rich society." -- Film Threat Posted Sep 22, 2007	My Best Friend (2007)	75%

3/5	"With 4,000 stores already and the same amount planned, Wal-Mart, the �planet�s retail overlord,� is the number one punching bag of the filmmakers..." -- JWR Posted Feb 14, 2007	Independent America: The Two-Lane Search for Mom & Pop (2005)	n/a
