The 30 most anticipated films of fall

By PETER KEOUGH | September 19, 2011

Also playing hardball is Gary McKendry's KILLER ELITE (September 23). Jason Statham, Clive Owen, and Robert De Niro star in this actioner about a member of an elite commando group who must rescue his mentor/father figure, from kidnappers. Those outraged by the Straw Dogs remake, take note: this has no connection with the 1975 Sam Peckinpah film of the same title.

Blu Christmas . . . without DVD
Ah, yes: the most wonderful time of the year, tinged with muddy snow and the creeping darkness of our most recent Depression.
Review: The Yellow Handkerchief
Like Tony Orlando & Dawn's 1973 #1 single, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree," Udayan Prasad's Southern-fried sudser descends from a 1971 column Pete Hamill penned for the New York Post .
Review: Remember Me
Director Allen Coulter bites off more than he can chew in this rote romantic drama.
Heroine chic
One of the more satisfying moments in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) occurs when 13-year-old Hermione (Emma Watson) unloads a right hook that staggers the villainous Malfoy. “That felt good,” she says, pleased with herself. “Not good,” offers Ron (Rupert Grint). “Brilliant!”
Interview: Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning may be just 16 years old, but already she’s built a body of work that shames some starlets twice her age.
Voodoo economics
To paraphrase The Communist Manifesto , a specter is haunting Hollywood. Actually, two of them: zombies and vampires. The undead.
VHS is the new vinyl
I was a VHS addict. In the '80s and '90s, I practically lived at the video store, renting every movie I could get my hands on. As my obsession with movies grew, renting was not enough; they needed to be mine. I amassed a few hundred videocassettes, and I was proud to own each one of them.
Review: Vampires Suck
After burping out a series of noxious spoofs from Date Movie to Epic Movie to Meet the Spartans , Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer might, you'd hope, be ready to return to the Comedy Central kind of humor seen in Scary Movie .
Review: Welcome To The Rileys
It seemed that Kristen Stewart might be expanding her range with her roles in The Runaways and Adventureland .
Review: Damnationland: The Way Life Should Bleed
I lost track of the body count of "Damnationland," a program of seven short and locally-grown horror films screening across the state from Thursday-Saturday, about halfway through its second installment.
Review: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest
This Swedish-language adaptation of the bestseller is a B-movie, the screen equivalent of a "summer beach read."

REVIEW: THE MIGHTY MACS | October 18, 2011
Based on a true story, but drawing on every underdog sports movie ever made, Tim Chambers's tale of Immaculata College's 1971 championship women's basketball team had me going — up to the regional semi-finals.

REVIEW: PUNCTURE | October 18, 2011
Though drawn from a true story, Adam and Mark Kassen's drama falls into the pattern of films like The Verdict in which a crapulous barrister gets a second chance by taking on a case of David-versus-Goliath injustice.

REVIEW: TAKE SHELTER | October 18, 2011
Shannon's got the crazy bit down pat, and director Jeff Nichols has an eye for turning everyday items — a pile of trash, a clear sky, a barking dog — into signs of immanent doom.

RUSSELL BANKS BARES THE SOUL OF A SEX OFFENDER IN SKIN | October 12, 2011
When it comes to reprobate or ostracized characters, Russell Banks has no fear.

REVIEW: THE CLOCK | October 12, 2011
"In Switzerland they had brotherly love," he says. "They had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
