A nominee for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, Steve James's (also director of 1995's Hoop Dreams) Stevie (2002) is one of most brutally honest and though-provoking American documentaries that I've ever seen. The real story of the sad life of a southern Illinois man, Stephen Fielding, and of his relationship with the director, this film has a great deal to say about life in Middle America, family values, child abuse, and a host of other difficult topics, and is absolutely unforgettable. 4 stars out of 4 Read the complete WeeklyFilm.Com review

Phone Booth (2002), the newest film from director Joel Schumacher, is a tense, gripping, thriller. Though some major flaws in the storyline are present, the simple premise of a man answering a phone, then being told by the voice on the other end that if he hangs up he will die, works surprisingly well. Starring Colin Farrell, Katie Holmes, Forest Whitaker, and Keifer Sutherland. 3 stars out of 4 Read the complete WeeklyFilm.Com review

Todd Phillips's Hated (1994) is a brutally uncensored documentary about the life and death of GG Allin, lead singer of the punk band The Murder Junkies, and one of the most controversial musicians of all time. Through interviews and live concert footage, Phillips is able to give us an unrelenting look at this unstable man. 3 stars out of 4 Read the complete WeeklyFilm.Com review
