Cross your fingers for a “FRESH” rating!

In his first two features, 1997’s “The Myth of Fingerprints” and 2001’s “World Traveler,” writer/director Bart Freundlich showed a restless intelligence in examining the frustrations of people unable to stay content with their choices in life. What he didn’t reveal was a dynamic, energetic filmmaking style to match those deeper personal issues he was exploring. His new film is also marred by the same flat and visually uninspired direction of his previous movies, only this time, the script and the cast compensate considerably. “Trust the Man” is a wonderfully buoyant and engaging ensemble comedy about the frustrations brought on by love and marriage.

David Duchovny has hinted that an X-Files revival could be on the cards with a second film following the exploits of agents Mulder and Scully.

No new movie has yet been scheduled for production, but the star said he thought the format was so good it could become a longer-running franchise.

Asked at the New York premiere of his new romantic comedy Trust The Man whether there will be a sequel to the 1998 big-screen version of The X-Files, Duchovny replied: “Yes, we’re all signed on.”

He added: “I think it could work very well as a sequel, an authentic franchise that will hold up - much more so than Mission: Impossible.”
