Latest on The Take
If you live anywhere near New York City, and you're a fan of independent films (and free drinks), then there's absolutely no reason why you shouldn't be attending at least every night of the 2008 Gen Art Film Festival. As always, Cinematical will be there...
My favorite film festival of the year has just announced its slate, and it's a pretty darn good one. The Gen Art Film Festival, held annually in New York City, thrives in its simplicity. 7 shorts, 7 premieres and 7 parties over the course of -- you...

Your Reviews
The craziest thing happened to me at the theater today. I went to see this movie "The Take." I was expecting to see John Leguizamo etc. Instead, I saw a movie starring Minnie Diver. The character ... Ms. Diver played was that of a mother whose son was killed by a loser criminal, how she confronts this criminal over time and the day he is put to death. What happened to John Lequizamo???? The film I did see was a morose slice of life. On the negative side it was hard to follow because the sequence of events kept jumping around in time. To add to the confusion, sometimes the son that is with Ms. Diver's character is imaginary while in other scenes he is not. However, the viewer "gets" this about three-quarters the way through the film. Out of five stars, I give this film three.Mystified in Arcadia Full Review
