Gosford Park (UK/USA/Germany; 137min.) directed by: Robert Altman starring: Maggie Smith; Bob Balaban; Helen Mirren; Jeremy Northan; Clive Owen

Laura says: "This light social commentary cum murder mystery is obviously choreographed by a director of great skill, yet the sheer number of the players allow few to really register in a mystery which offers few surprises. GOSFORD PARK carries none of the weight of the superior mid war British house party film THE REMAINS OF THE DAY, a devastating look at class structure, but it still gets its barbs in amidst its comical mystery amalgamation.

Nathaniel says: "GOSFORD PARK is a cinematic treat from one of America's most prolific and premiere auteurs, the septuagenarian legend Robert Altman. Those approaching with caution after last year's potential laden but deeply problematic DR. T & THE WOMEN, are advised to breathe easy and proceed without hesitation. Shortly into GOSFORD PARK'S running time, your faith in this auteur's distinct and inimitable talents will be restored. This time around, Altman has thankfully chucked whatever was throwing him out of alignment. With GOSFORD PARK, he is undeniably back at the top of his game."
