Because of embargoes (those happy little restrictions on when critics can post reviews, good or bad), a lot of our critics aren’t able to share links with you until release day. Here are some last-minute reviews for this weekend’s upcoming films. We’ve kept in all the reviews posted yesterday as well so you can have more help in deciding what to see (if you haven’t already).
Our critics have been hard at work reviewing the latest films. Here is a look at what’s coming out this weekend (in select cities, check your local listings) and what else may be in theaters right now.

El Bulli: Cooking in Progress
- Excerpt: Beside the village of Cala Monjoi on the Costa Brava, at the end of a notoriously dangerous road, lies El Bulli, the world’s most famous avant garde restaurant. Here, guests who have waited months for a reservation stay for an average of three hours and consume an average of 35 dishes each. Each of these dishes, small though it may be, is painstakingly created, designed to provide the perfect combination of flavours, textures and ‘magic’. Each year some 200 new dishes are added to the menu. This documentary looks at what goes on behind the scenes.

Shark Night
The Whisperer in Darkness
- Excerpt: It is rather talky and not particularly scary or tense, but it is filled with a Lovecraftian sense of dread, of worlds beyond comprehension and a conspiracy of epic proportions.
