36% The Black Dahlia
Though this ambitious noir crime-drama captures the atmosphere of its era, it suffers from subpar performances, a convoluted story, and the inevitable comparisons to other, more successful films of its genre.

Strangers with Candy
This feature-length comedy– which serves as a prequel to the Comedy Central series of the same name–follows a 40-something ex-junkie/ex-con (Amy Sedaris) as she re-enrolls in high school. Stephen Colbert, Paul Dinello, Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick also star. [Rated R]
