A gripping French contribution to the cycle of movies about exile and refugees, this centres on the friendship between a swimming instructor at the Calais municipal baths (the excellent Vincent Lindon) and a 17-year-old Iraqi Kurd bent on swimming the channel to be reunited with his girlfriend in London. The film's chief revelation is the way French officialdom treats both the illegal immigrants and...

A surprise popular success in the States, this cod documentary features the hugely unimpressive young Chinese-American stand-up comic Charlyne Yi, who claims never to have experienced love. So with her director she travels the country in a haphazard way, asking everyone from fellow comic Seth Rogen to ageing Hells Angels and long-married couples about love and what it means to them. The whinging Charlyne...

There are no inappropriate songs or additional sentimentality, and Jim Carrey plays Scrooge and the three Christmases in a variety of British accents. The production notes call...

I greatly enjoy stand-up comedy. I usually go see a live comedy show from a nationally known comic artist every couple of months or so. I don’t go to many open mikes, although some of my friends have been pressuring me to start performing at them. Suffice it to say that comedy is a pretty [...]

The viewer is introduced to the traditional goodie-goods, Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich), off on their honeymoon, loving [...]
