American Grindhouse

Chloe

Atom Egoyan's new film is an erotic thriller that stars Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, and the mismatched Amanda Seyfried.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

A wisecracking preteen keeps a diary about the torments of middle school in this true-to-life story.

Greenberg

Ben Stiller and (one-time Chronicle cover girl) Greta Gerwig star in this new film by the director of The Squid and the Whale.

How to Train Your Dragon

Soaring animation should make this story about a Viking boy who befriends his enemy a perennial favorite.

Mother

Bong Joon-ho, the South Korean director of The Host, is back with an exquisitely rendered murder mystery fraught with psychological suspense.

Red Riding: 1980

This second installment in a three-part dramatization of dirty dealings in Yorkshire is concerned with the notorious corruption mill that powers the region’s law enforcement.

Red Riding: 1983

This final film in the three-part series affords a great deal of satisfaction in resolving the plot’s many mysteries.
