Best Documentary "Exit Through the Gift Shop" It's hard to know whether street artist Banksy's feature documentary is what it claims to be—a doc about an obsessive man who falls in love with the world of street art (where artists place their work in public, risking arrest for vandalism), fashioning himself as the most financially successful street artist in history—or is Banksy's best prank to date. The film follows the life of buffoonish French expatriate Thierry Guetta, a happy-go-lucky proprietor of an overpriced hipster-wear store in West Hollywood with the curious habit of videotaping everything that happens to him. Guetta persuades his cousin, a street artist known as Space Invader, to become the subject of a "documentary," which leads Guetta to other street artists like Obama icon-maker Shepard Fairey and ultimately to the white whale of street artists: the ultra-secretive Banksy (interviewed in silhouette, of course...

A look at what's new on DVD today:
"Back to the Future: 25th Anniversary Trilogy"
Directed by Robert Zemeckis
Released by Universal Home Entertainment
Yes, we're finally getting the footage of the original Marty McFly, Eric Stoltz, for the first time, but for many simply having the hi-def version of Robert Zemeckis' time-travel franchise will be good enough. Commentaries, deleted scenes, a full-length documentary and much, much more come on this new set of the trilogy.
"Alien Anthology"
Directed by Ridley Scott, James Cameron, David Fincher, Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Released by Fox Home Entertainment
While not as much of an upgrade over its previous DVD release as "Back to the Future," the Blu-ray update of the four "Alien" films worth owning now boasts isolated scores for each film, all of Ridley Scott's sketches for the first "Alien," the uncut documentary of David Fincher's ill-fated "Alien 3" as...

Dorothy parachutes into Dublin in search of the Wizard but there is no place like home. Emerging director/writer Lance Daly has come upon a small bit of Irish magic with this tale of two children running away from home. Well received since its 2008 debut in Ireland, the story revolves around two kids living outside Dublin with families that are drastically dysfunctional. Kylie (Kelly O'Neill) lives in a six-sibling family headed by her mother who looks about ready to throw in the towel. Next door, Dylan (Shane Curry) hides from his alcoholic father in a cubbyhole in the entry hall but is found out and given the routine dose of drunken irrational abuse. Dylan runs away from...

I don't know how or why -- maybe it's something in the water or a some kind of atmospheric byproduct of global warming -- but all of a sudden, Ireland is a hotbed of child acting talent. Earlier this summer, Colin Farrell and Alicja Bachleda were repeatedly upstaged by ten-year-old Alison Barry in Neil Jordan's "Ondine." Now, in the new Irish film "Kisses," two untrained child actors, Kelly O'Neill and Shane Curry, give the sort of naturalistic performances that professional actors spend years trying to perfect.
Curry plays Dylan, a shy kid who lives in a house in the suburbs with his mother and abusive father. O'Neill's outgoing Kylie lives next door with her own family and her own troubles. After one particular brutal fight with Dylan's dad, the two run away from home. They make their way to Dublin in search of Dylan's older brother Barry, who ran away himself two years earlier.

It's not a very merry Christmastime for pre- teens Kylie and Dylan, neighbors on the fringes of Dublin in an area of rundown houses called kips in Irish slang. Kylie lives with her five siblings and an overworked mother, while Dylan is subjected to physical abuse from a profanity-spouting father. After a particularly violent encounter with his dad, Dylan and Kylie flee to central Dublin in search of love and the boy's brother, who left home two years earlier. They encounter more than they had expected, including a carload of thugs intent on raping Kylie. Much is made of Dylan's...

Short, sweet and full of unexpected moments, the rough-and-tumble little Irish film Kisses is a surprise and a treat: a no-frills story of young love in which the subject is never discussed and the two central characters barely even acknowledge their feelings for each other. Rather, this dramatic comedy, which opens in limited theatrical release and video-on-demand on Friday (7/16/10), is about the inner life of kids - with all the innocence, sense of daring and vulnerability that implies. In this case, the kids in question live together in a housing project, next-door neighbors, aware (but not fully understanding) just how rough the other one has it. Dylan (Shane Curry) is a kid with no friends except next-door pal Kylie (Kelly O'Neill) and a father with a tendency to hit first and talk after. Kylie also has a down-at-the-heels existence, dodging...

Shane Curry, Kelly O'Neill Anyone who's ever visited Dublin as a tourist is no stranger to the Gaelic magic and charm that linger around every corner. In Irish director Lance Daly's (The Halo Effect) latest feature Kisses, his two preteen protagonists, Dylan (Shane Curry) and Kylie (Kelly O'Neill) - escaping horrific homelives in the suburbs - enter the city with all the wonder and optimism that freedom (and a few Euros in your pocket) can bring. However, as they make their precarious way through the hopeless search for Dylan's older brother - who followed a similar path two years earlier - their situation becomes grimmer and grimmer, and you come to your senses and realize that, no matter how charming, any city is a dangerous place for 11-year-olds on their own. The two young actors - both making their feature debuts - are a revelation. It seems strange to talk about chemistry between tweens,...

In this week's edition of Indie Roundup, the headline says it all.
Deals. Nominated this year for an Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category, Uli Edel's The Baader-Meinhof Complex has been acquired for Us theatrical distribution by Vitagraph Films, according to indieWIRE. Martina Gedeck, Moritz Bleibtreu, Johanna Wokalek, and Bruno Ganz star in a film that "dramatizes the history of the real-life West German terrorist group Red Army Faction (Raf), which rose to violent action against the German political status quo in the late 1960s." Current plans are for a platform release in August, with 18 of the top 20 markets targeted. When the film opened in the UK last fall, David Hudson compiled the mixed critical reaction at GreenCine Daily. We've embedded the action-packed trailer below.

Time for a slice of Irish life that the tourist posters won't show you. Lance Daly's powerful new feature is a beautifully shot account of two 11 year old runaways on the unforgiving streets of Dublin. Amazing performances by child actors Kelly O'Neill (Kylie) and Shane Curry (Dylan), the film features a strong folksy soundtrack, and is reminiscent of Ken Loach's work in a film like Kes. Following the advice of Mike Leigh, who saw the movie at the Toronto Film Festival, the director/writer/cinematographer Daly has added subtitles which helps anyone not from Dublin to understand the thick brogue. When Kisses won best feature film at the Galway Film Festival this year, Focus Features acquired the rights, and with any luck it will pick up the...

- Among the films I was curious to catch was the Dublin-set escapist drama of Kylie and Dylan. Kisses might sound like something cute and fuzzy, but Lance Daly is quick to remind his characters that the outside world may be just as unforgiving as everything that takes place on home turf. Daly has been traveling around quite a lot with his third feature film, after an preem at Locarno, he had a stint at Telluride before hitting Tiff. He brought along the film's two actors -- Kelly O'Neill and Shane Curry who bears some resemblance to a young version of the main character in Sweet Sixteen. The three spared on stage, showing that Daly's casting process didn’t care too much for dramatic art school types, hard to find at the age. Personally, I'd never seen Daly's other work but was still curious about a project that places child
