Filmmaker Julie Delpy’s latest opus “2 days in New York” is the sequel to 2007's “2 days in Paris” (thankfully the film itself is more original than its recycled title).

Lila is a socially-awkward young woman who’s very close to her twin brother, Raul, himself in love with a troubled youngster named
Oscar-winning director Terry George ("Hotel Rwanda," "Reservation Road," "The Shore") isn't known for light-hearted comedies. His latest effort, "Whole lotta sole," however, rests convincingly between "Snatch" and "Notting Hill." The story follows several different sets of characters, among them a young father (Martin McCann), a ruthless crime lord (David O'Hara), a grizzled cop (Colm Meaney), and a hapless American (Brendan Fraser), who runs
Fresh off the heels of “Bully” the salient and engaging documentary “The Revisionaries” could be the sequel to the “What’s Wrong With American Schools Now?” series. “Revisionaries” centers on conservative Texas School Board member Don McLeroy, a creationist who’s apparently made it his life’s goal to impose creationist beliefs in public school curricula while simultaneously working to discredit the theory of evolution.
