- Sound of My Voice
- Review
- A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

- Watch a "Transformers" DVD instead
- The Dictator
- Review
- Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.
- Jiro Dreams Of Sushi
- Review
- When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.

| Ofelia | Hi! Are you a fairy? |
| Ofelia | My name is Ofelia. Who are you? | |
| Faun | Me? I've had so many names. Old names that only the wind and the trees can pronounce. I am the mountain, the forest and the earth. I am... I am a faun. Your most humble servant, Your Highness. |
| Ofelia | Many, many years ago in a sad, faraway land, there was an enormous mountain made of rough, black stone. At sunset, on top of that mountain, a magic rose blossomed every night that made whoever plucked it immortal. But no one dared go near it because its thorns were full of poison. Men talked amongst themselves about their fear of death, and pain, but never about the promise of eternal life. And every day, the rose wilted, unable to bequeath its gift to anyone... forgotten and lost at the top of that cold, dark mountain, forever alone, until the end of time. |
| Mercedes | I'm a coward. | |
| Pedro | No, you're not. | |
| Mercedes | Yes, I am. A coward - for living next to that son of a bitch, doing his laundry, making his bed, feeding him... What if the doctor's right and we can't win? | |
| Pedro | At least we'll make things harder for that bastard. |
| Mayor | Have I told you that I was acquainted with your father, Captain? | |
| Capitán Vidal | No. I had no idea. | |
| Mayor | In Morocco. I knew him only briefly, but he left a great impression. | |
| Capitán Vidal | An excellent soldier. | |
| Mayor | The men in his battalion said that when General Vidal died on the battlefield, he smashed his watch on a rock so that his son would know the exact hour and minute of his death. So he would know how a brave man dies. | |
| Capitán Vidal | Nonsense. He didn't own a watch. |
| Capitán Vidal | I choose to be here because I want my son to be born in a new, clean Spain. |
| Doctor | Just one more thing, Captain. What makes you so sure the baby is a male? | |
| Capitán Vidal | [smirks] Don't fuck with me. |
| Mercedes | [to Vidal] I'm not some old man! Or a wounded prisoner! Motherfucker... Don't you dare touch the girl. You won't be the first pig I've gutted! |
| Carmen | The captain has been so good to us... Please, Ofelia, call him father. It's just a word, Ofelia, just a word. |
| Capitán Vidal | You could have obeyed me! | |
| Doctor | But captain, to obey - just like that - for obedience's sake... without questioning... That's something only people like you do. |
| Mercedes | My mother told me to be wary of Fauns. |
