Drive-Thru Reviews

Kung Fu Hustle - Like nothing I've ever seen before. Combines Crouching Tiger, The Matrix and Looney Tunes and succeeds.

Children of Beslan - Chronicles the taking of Beslan's School #1 one year ago by Chechen rebels and is recounted entirely by children who survived. Their intelligence and emotional maturity is astounding. The loss of their innocence is heartbreaking. A young girl remembered how she prayed to God to "save us all, please. ... He saved those he could manage to save, and the ones he couldn't, he kept with him. He kept the best. The most beautiful ones died." I am amazed at the lengths we will go to hurt one another.
