    Closeted gay politicians like you-know-who and hm-hm aren't just personally screwed-up, says filmmaker Kirby Dick. They're hopelessly distorting democracy.

  • The (undead) girl next door

    Suburban realism gets an injection of fresh blood (ha!) in the gory, satirical and haunting Swedish vampire flick "Let the Right One In."
  • Che anything

    The filmmakers behind "Chevolution" explain how Che Guevara's face ended up on all those T-shirts, posters, beer bottles and bikini bottoms.

  • He conquered the World Trade Center

    "Man on Wire" and its daredevil star thrill Tribeca, but Mamet's "Redbelt" is a jiu-jitsu pratfall. Plus: Is Brecht still relevant?

    "Speed Racer" zooms, David Mamet knows kung fu, a Fellini rediscovery and much more at New York's downsized (but still glitzy) spring fest.
  • "Baby Mama"

    Tina Fey and Amy Poehler make a dynamite duo, but this spoof of our child-centric culture doesn't go as far as it could.
