Review: 'Wendy and Lucy'
![It's possible to think of Kelly Reichardt's "Wendy and Lucy" as the anti-"Slumdog Millionaire." Where Danny Boyle's flashy fantasia offers economically depressed audiences a miraculous distraction from their daily woes, akin to the MGM musicals that flourished during the Great Depression, Reichardt's haunting, mournful film engages the texture of a life in which money and hope are equally thin on the ground.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-12/43828937-11145410.jpg "It's possible to think of Kelly Reichardt's "Wendy and Lucy\" as the anti-\"Slumdog Millionaire.\" Where Danny Boyle's flashy fantasia offers economically depressed audiences a miraculous distraction from their daily woes, akin to the MGM musicals that flourished during the Great Depression, Reichardt's haunting, mournful film engages the texture of a life in which money and hope are equally thin on the ground.")

Review: 'The Haunting of Molly Hartley'
!["Fear is a powerful emotion," says a guidance counselor to troubled high schooler Molly Hartley (Haley Bennett). "It makes you see things that aren't there."

'Waltz With Bashir' leads down filmmaker's nightmare alley
![ARI FOLMAN'S "Waltz With Bashir," which screens tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival, straddles many boundaries: between memory and dream, history and memoir, fact and fiction. Using animation to shift fluidly between frames, the movie investigates the Sept. 16, 1982, massacre of Palestinian refugees at the Sabra and Shatila camps in Beirut. Lebanese militiamen belonging to the Falangist Party, their passions inflamed by the assassination of the country's president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, slaughtered hundreds and possibly thousands of men, women and children, stacking their bodies in the narrow alleys between houses.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2008-09/42094188-03152208.jpg "ARI FOLMAN'S "Waltz With Bashir,\" which screens tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival, straddles many boundaries: between memory and dream, history and memoir, fact and fiction.

'Vacancy'
![The unhappy marrieds who stray off the interstate in "Vacancy" think that the most unpleasant thing awaiting them is a night in the same bed. But when their car breaks down on a quiet rural road, the only place to stay is a run-down motel with some particularly creepy amenities. Mattress stains and untraceable smells aren't the half of it.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-04/29185870.jpg "The unhappy marrieds who stray off the interstate in "Vacancy\" think that the most unpleasant thing awaiting them is a night in the same bed.

'Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters'
![Normally doled out in 15-minute helpings during Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block, "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" is the sort of thing a bright, underachieving college student might come up with while sitting in a fast-food joint at 4 a.m., after doing the kinds of things that cause college students to crave salty snacks in the middle of the night. Aggressively plotless and animated with deliberate crudity, the series — yes, the one whose publicity stunt backfired in Boston, which was not amused — chronicles the adventures, or more often non-adventures, of a talking milkshake, meatball and order of fries.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-04/29009005.jpg "Normally doled out in 15-minute helpings during Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim\" block, \"Aqua Teen Hunger Force\" is the sort of thing a bright, underachieving college student might come up with while sitting in a fast-food joint at 4 a.m., after doing the kinds of things that cause college students to crave salty snacks in the middle of the night.

'Adam's Apples'
![Pitched somewhere between religious parable and slapstick, the black-hearted satire "Adam's Apples" has something important to say about the nature of redemption. Or perhaps it just wants to seem like it does. Like his countryman Lars von Trier, the Danish writer-director Anders Thomas Jensen mixes spiritual inquiry with shell game, never quite tipping his hand as to what's sincere and what's said with a smirk.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2007-04/29009011.jpg "Pitched somewhere between religious parable and slapstick, the black-hearted satire "Adam's Apples\" has something important to say about the nature of redemption.
