Posted: 22 Sep 2011 06:24 PM PDT

Mark Kassen, left, and Chris Evans in "Puncture." Movies with agendas can be tough to pull off, and Puncture is no exception. Notable at least in part for its fumbled potential, this health-care-industry melodrama possesses all the right ingredients: an

Movie Review | 'Killer Elite': ‘Killer Elite,’ With Jason Statham and Robert De Niro — Review

Posted: 22 Sep 2011 06:24 PM PDT

Posted: 22 Sep 2011 04:46 PM PDT

Rachel Nichols plays a loud-talking librarian in Margaret Whitton's "Bird of the Air." A man with little to say falls for a woman who says too much in A Bird of the Air, an offbeat romance fueled by pets and pithy aphorisms. Caught in the kind of
