Our critics' selections

The Housemaid Im Sang- soo's elegant and kinky remake of Kim Ki-young's 1960 cult film is The Nanny Diaries South Korean style, by turns predictable as a melodrama and surprising as a thriller. No MPAA rating (frontal nudity, sex, rape, emotional violence).

The Housemaid

Im Sang- soo's elegant and kinky remake of Kim Ki-young's 1960 cult film is The Nanny Diaries South Korean style, by turns predictable as a melodrama and surprising as a thriller.

No MPAA rating

(frontal nudity, sex, rape, emotional violence).

Cedar Rapids Human cork Ed Helms bobs to the surface of the river of raunch in this gentle gross-out comedy that tickles laughs from the misadventures of a small- town innocent at large in a midsize Midwestern burg. With Anne Heche and John C. Reilly. R (profanity, sexual candor, drugs).

Outside the Law Rachid Bouchareb's shadow- ridden historical fiction (and Oscar nominee for best foreign film) reframes Algeria's struggle for independence as a suspenseful gangster melodrama. No MPAA rating (guerrilla violence, realistic and sometimes graphic).
