First there was “Species” (1995), a not bad space-detach from horror movie saved by the adjacency of its comely star, Natasha Henstridge, padding about half the time in the buff. Then, like all well-disposed breeds dispiriting to sustain their courteous, the large screen spawned a upshot titled, not surprisingly, “Species II” (1998). Well-informed [...]

Christopher Robison, who goes by the pen star of Augusten Burroughs, is a top-notch writer. Whether he’s a truthful an individual is another story. His “memoir,” published in 2002 and turned into a serio-comic film by Ryan Murphy, sparked a round of complaints by Burroughs’ set and the family of the doctor who “adopted” him [...]

Director:

Whit Stillman

Writer/director Stillman again casts an affectionate eyesight on the foibles of preppy young Americans, this control two cousins all at bounding main in the sexual, high-minded and governmental whirl of a changing Old World.
