But director Jonathan Levine gives us &#8220;Warm Bodies,&#8221; which suggests that when World War Z comes, all you&#8217;ll need is love. R.

Writer/director Scott Walker is careful to maintain a dark, understated mood that blends in quite effectively with the bleak, wintry setting, but the story seems to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Biographical movies can be a daunting task. Their subjects often have larger-than-life stories that are focal points for controversy. Actor Bill Murray says that what attracted him to the role of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) in &#8220;Hyde Park on Hudson,&#8221; was less of the former element and a touch of the latter. &#8220;What [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1971 the Nikkatsu studio, desperate to stave off bankruptcy, switched production to the then-burgeoning genre of softcore pornography. Made mostly by young directors promoted after their elders fled, the films were hardly intended as high art. Instead their main selling point was simulated sex, often with an S&#38;M flavor.
