Skritek (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Folk tale meets silent film in the wordless but eventful doings involving a Czech family and the meat-packing plant where dad works (and cheats on mom). Debt to Buster Keaton and silent comedy is delightfully high, with everything run through a filter of central-Euro absurdism. Ideal fest fare, pic is fun for the whole dysfunctional family -- who don't mind seeing dead animals cut to pieces. |

Press On (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: "I will never make a song about bling-bling," says steel guitarist Robert Randolph early in the entirely flattering docu "Press On." As Grammy-nominated primary populist of a musical style dubbed "sacred steel," Randolph's indifference toward contempo hip-hop and R&B's emphasis on material things is refreshing. |

The Undeserved (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Small-town New England tensions boil over in "The Undeserved," a somewhat overloaded yet impressive feature debut by writer-helmer Brad Coley that's a sufficiently edgy update of "Peyton Place"-style ensemble melodramatics. The 16mm lensing and lack of marquee names won't encourage theatrical exposure. Still, this engrossing pic is a natural for small-screen buyers. |

Need (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Seventh and latest of Rob Nilsson's gritty "9 @ Night" features, "Need" is the first primarily centered on female characters. All here work the sex trade -- none happily, though helmer's typical mixture of improv, stylized presentation and enigmatic narrative avoids tragic heart-of-gold cliche. Nilsson has been content thus far to allow these San Francisco-set, HD-shot, faintly interwoven dramas to get fleeting fest-circuit visibility. |

Fishing Luck (Dengdai feiyu) (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: A Taiwanese light romancer with more than just love on its mind, "Fishing Luck" fails to hook the viewer in the way the filmmakers seemingly intended. Evidently sincere attempt by former documaker Tseng Wen-chen to create a quality mainstream feature suffers from minimal chemistry between its leads and scant script muscle to go the distance. Film performed softly on local release mid-October. |

Texture of Skin (Sal Geol) (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Enigmatic to an intriguing fault, this study of sexual ennui --which approaches hardcore without mustering quite that much energy -- is more ghost tale than love story. Considerably more stylized than arthouse hit "Lies," the smoothly made "Texture of Skin" plumbs philosophical depths of sexual obsession, but will surely cause some ticket buyers to wonder what the fuss is about. |

Sound of the Soul: The Fez Festival of World Sacred Music (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: The intersection between spirituality and world-music is pinpointed in "Sound of the Soul," a handsome docu about the Fez Festival in Morocco. Event, which takes place annually in the North African city renowned for its history of tolerance, offers attendees a platform where they can tie together music and faith as a universal bond. |

Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: The "Jesus People" movement that peaked in the early '70s, bringing Christianity to the counterculture and vice versa, has been largely forgotten. In the ensuing decades, American churches have increasingly been affiliated with social/political conservatism. That it wasn't always so is vividly illustrated by "Frisbee: The Life and Death of a Hippie Preacher," |

A Woman in Winter (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Unstinting in ambition but impoverished in realization, "A Woman in Winter" is so intent on pushing the boundaries of regular British cinema that it forgets to take its audience along. Laudable attempt by Scottish writer-helmer Richard Jobson to create a slice of metaphysical cinema owes its roots more to French and East Asian cinema than to U.K. miserabilism or sitcoms/romcoms. |

39 Pounds of Love: The Story of Ami Ankilewitz (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, Ami Ankilewitz wasn't expected to live past age 6. Now in his mid-30s, the tiny, wheelchair-dependent survivor decides to visit the Texas doctor who made that damning diagnosis, in "39 Pounds of Love." |

Berkeley (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - Film Reviews: Veteran TV helmer Bobby Roth's dramatization of his late-'60s college days rep an awkward flashback to times that still loom large in historic memory. Pallid where the writer-director's prior indies ("Jack the Dog," "Manhood") were obnoxious, "Berkeley" reprises their pretensions -- adding an overambitious period agenda betrayed by an obvious low budget. |

Digital door-to-door (Oct 31 2005 05:50 GMT) - This article in the IHT looks at how police used text messaging in their pursuit of soccer fans who rioted in Rotterdam last April."There was no way to foresee,however,the unique wireless wrinkle used in the pursuit by prosecutors determined to round up as many of the offenders as possible.After the initial phase of the investigation left many of more than 200 suspects on the loose,the Dutch authorities turned to a kind of cellular door-to-door search,mass text messaging in search of criminal information.The cellular-era tactic has appeared in a growing number of cities since early last year,as the police seek to turn cellphones into direct lines to potential witnesses."We were really determined to arrest everybody involved," said Jeichien Degraaff,spokeswoman for the Rotterdam public prosecutor's office. |
