Leave it up to producer Steven Spielberg and director D.J. Caruso to concoct a science fiction tale set in the gray hallways of the National Security Agency (NSA). First, this isn't a date movie; it would be more appropriate for fans of shoot-em-ups and Discovery Military.

Everyone likes a good road trip, right? Not so, if you're talking about the cross-country drive the characters take in the The Lucky Ones, a film about three soldiers on leave from Iraq. The reasons for their trips home vary in levels of absurdity: Private Dunn (Rachel McAdams) is bringing her dead boyfriend's Elvis guitar back to his parents, Sergeant Poole (Michael Pe

Consider the assaultive title just the tip of the big screwed-up iceberg that is Towelhead, Alan Ball's disturbing portrait of a 13-year-old Lebanese-American girl's coming-of-age in a Texas suburb during the Gulf War.
