...wasted. Thanks to tight writing, shorts are often wittier than features. And because they don't have to make back a massive amount of money for investors, they're often grittier. It's hard to imagine this year's darkly original Sundance Jury Award winner, Everything Will Be OK, in which cult animator Don Hertzfeldt's signature stick-figure character, Bill, faces an existential crisis, coming out of the studios that deliver a new twist on celebrity-voiced animals every three months...
...Director: Clint Eastwood, “Letters from Iwo Jima”; Stephen Frears, “The Queen,”; Paul Greengrass, “United 93”; Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, “Babel”; Martin Scorsese, “The Departed”Ok, this is ridiculous. Three 6 Mafia, the blinged-out rapping trio, has an Oscar, while the man who directed “Taxi Driver,” “Raging Bull,” and “Goodfellas” has never won. Scorsese’s recent...
...OK, it's not much as premises go, but under Michael Lehman's relaxed but not inattentive direction, it'll do, especially as there are some nice little turns in the story.

Those curious about zoophilia may be disappointed by the, er, logistical questions that Zoo fails answer. But it won't be hard to find people curious about zoophila. You did read this...
...attentive grownup filmgoers for her small roles in Brokeback Mountain and Lost in Translation, funny Anna Faris finally gets the screen time she deserves in the stoner comedy Smiley Face. Faris stars as a pothead actress sent on a series of misadventures after she devours some weed-laced cupcakes. OK, so director Greg Araki's picture is not a huge departure from Faris' spacey blonde cinema roots, but it is that rare physical comedy that stars a young woman who is more than just some guy's girlfriend. Ben Stiller, you might want to get tickets to this...
