[http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=197812&amp;element=oldboy]Oldboy director [http://www.greencine.com/character?cid=661957]Park Chan-wook's latest operatic treat does nothing to change his reputation as one of the world's most provocative filmmakers. Time's Richard Corliss wrote: "Blending plot elements of [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=187044&amp;element=double+indemnity]Double Indemnity and [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=122431]Natural Born Killers  with the ripe sensuality of [http://www.greencine.com/character?pid=14654]Coppola's take on [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=3488]Dracula, the  film should make audiences sit up in startled pleasure, as if they'd  just received the most luscious neck-bite." Salon's Andrew O'Hehir calls it "a brilliant and gruesome work of cinematic invention as well as a passionate and painful human love story."</p>

<p>Humpday [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=295963]Rent  [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=295963]<br />
Lynn Shelton's "[http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=295963]Humpday carefully raises the stakes until it hits a finale loaded with  humor, tenderness, and delicious ambiguity," wrote [http://www.avclub.com/articles/humpday,30167/]Scott Tobias, adding, "It&rsquo;s like [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=212655&amp;element=old+joy]Old Joy by way  of [http://www.greencine.com/character?pid=86686]Judd Apatow."

You don't necessarily have to believe in reincarnation to practice Buddhism, nor to appreciate [http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=295982]Unmistaken Child (2008), an engaging documentary on this subject by Israeli director  Nati Baratz.

Think of it as Netflix mashed up with your local independent video store. It offers the wide selection of obscure genres and art films that cinephiles crave, along with the helpful advice you&rsquo;d normally get from the person behind the counter. Intrigued by film noir but embarrassed because you don&rsquo;t really know what that means? GreenCine explains the genre and recommends its favorites. Instead of a list of popular rom-coms, the site offers the Top 10 Environmental Documentaries That Don&rsquo;t Rhyme with a Schminconvenient Schmuth, plus interviews with hot new indie filmmakers and discussions about the best cult vampire films. <u><i><a href="http://www.greencine.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 255);">greencine.com</span></a></i></u></blockquote></p>]]>

[http://www.greencine.com/character?pid=8244]Sam Raimi  returns to his horror roots with this gleefully scary funhouse ride about a young woman trying to escape a gypsy curse. "Unlike so much contemporary horror, it's devoid of sadism and  mean-spiritedness," writes Stephanie Zacharek in Salon. "The looseness Raimi allows himself here results in  an especially joyous kind of filmmaking." Writes Scott Tobias, Raimi "wants viewers to jump out of their chairs, to laugh and scream and  cheer, and to nudge each other over the transcendent ridiculousness of  what they&rsquo;re witnessing. This is junk filmmaking at its finest." It is "manna from hell," adds David Edelstein.</p>

[http://www.greencine.com/webCatalog?id=295882]Trick r' Treat goes the comic book route, complete with animated credits, primary  color palette and terrific, juicy cinematography (by Glen MacPherson) &ndash;  with performances to match. You may remember, more than a year ago, theatrical previews for Trick &lsquo;r Treat appearing on various DVDs and, I believe, in theatres, too. Yet the  film was never released. Rather than being the bomb some might have  expected from that, the movie is quite entertaining, as it links  separate stories of townspeople in a small hamlet that, yearly, celebrates Halloween...[http://guru.greencine.com/archives/2009/10/seasonal_scares_1.html]read review >><br />
