Hoop dreams [3]
Gina Prince-Blythewood's "Love and Basketball" is less about hoop than about the power games that women can't avoid playing.

Love and Basketball [4]
Better-than-average romance is buoyed by the debuts of writer-director Prince-Blythewood and star Lathan.

Don't malign it because it's violent; "American Psycho" is one of the best films of the year.
— James DiGiovanna, TUCSON WEEKLY

he battle of the sexes is an old story, and with the popularity of women's sports peaking, this is the perfect time to retell the tale. But the most compelling reason to see "Love & Basketball" is the excellent starring debut by Sanaa Lathan.

"American Psycho" has been criticized because it contains a few violent scenes. It also contains a scathing look at America in the '80s, some wickedly black comedy, and one of the best lead performances in recent memory.

The Sex Pistols have long since drifted free of the recession-crushed England and bohemian neighborhood of London where they came together. Julien Temple's "The Filth and the Fury" brings them back to their time and place and reclaims their universality.

Plus, reviews of the new World War II submarine movie, "U-571," a tarted-up melodrama from James Merchant, and more.
