Film
'Forks Over Knives' Is About Bucking a System

You Must Be Kidding: The 'Real Steel' Trailer
Real Steel appears to be Michael Bay by way of Mattel, a console title waiting for IGN and Attack of the Show to sing its replay value praises. [11.May.11]
Precious Life

With its opening sequence -- a funeral in Nicaragua and an attorney's advertisement in Los Angeles -- the documentary lays out its complicated premise, that truths may be elusive, but consequences are hard and real. [09.May.11]
Premiering on HBO on Mother's Day, Ingelore is at once a loving portrait of a lovely, warm, and remarkably resilient individual and also a story of harrowing complexities. [06.May.11]
Alas, Jane's response to Thor is one of the movie's many shortcuts, a series of winks and nods that assumes viewers' eager complicity in this not-so-clever mishmashing of then and now. [06.May.11]
DVD Reviews
What's fun about Dylan is the contradictory responses he generates; one person hates what another loves and each can give good reasons for feeling the way they do. [12.May.11]
Clever and strategic emblems placed along the way define this modern cinematic take on Holman Hunt's The Awakening Conscience. [12.May.11]
Features
By PopMatters Staff
The familiarity of the films coming out between May and August scream of a sure fire mentality that moderates art for the sake of a stack of cash. Sure, there is fun to be had and a few surprises along the way. [06.May.11]

Deep Focus
Michigan extras have to run for their lives as giant flying robots tried to kill them and buildings exploded around them. Trying to avoid being trampled by Transformers is easy compared to the bigger threat to Michigan’s film industry. [09.May.11]
