[ New on DVD: Highlights include Chloe, Max Manus and Greenberg. ]
Chloe: Three stars out of five - Amanda Seyfried conjures a haunting performance as a young prostitute enlisted to help a married woman unveil her husband's infidelity. Seyfried's presence as the polluted ingenue is mesmerizing in itself, but coupled with director Atom Egoyan's signature off- kilter style and deep appreciation for subtext, the movie hits a sustained eerie note. Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson back up Seyfried's calculated lust with raw, accessible emotion as the married couple torn asunder, but it's really Seyfried's vehicle - and she drives it straight into the concrete barrier that separates desire from consummation. Special features include commentary with Seyfried, Egoyan and writer Erin Cressida Wilson, The Making of Chloe, deleted scenes.

[ Between terror and boredom ]
Piche, entre ciel et terre is a riveting film. Trouble is, the enthralling part lasts only about 30 minutes. The hour or so leading up to that edge-of-your-seat finale is, sadly, not nearly as captivating.
