Gran Torino (2008)

Synopsis:

Walt Kowalski is a widower, grumpy, tough-minded, borderline-hateful, unhappy old man who can’t get along with either his kids or his neighbors, a Korean War veteran whose prize possession is a 1973 Gran Torino he keeps in cherry condition. When his neighbor Tao, a young Hmong teenager, tries to steal his Gran Torino, Kowalski sets out to reform the youth. Drawn against his will into the life of Tao’s family, Kowalski is soon taking steps to protect them from the gangs that foul their neighborhood.

Bride Wars (2009)

Synopsis:
Liv and Emma are best friends who since childhood have planned every detail of their respective weddings. At the top of their bridal “must have” list: a ceremony at New York’s ultimate bridal destination, the Plaza Hotel. Now, at age 26, they’re both about to get married; they’re about to realize their dreams; and they’re about to live happily ever after. Or maybe not. When a clerical error causes a clash in wedding dates–they’re now to be married on the same date!–Liv, Emma and their lifelong friendship are put to the ultimate test. Liv, a successful lawyer who is used to getting what she wants, including the perfect job and the perfect man, won’t settle for anything less than the perfect wedding she has dreamed of for years. Emma, a schoolteacher who has always been good at taking care of others, but not so much in looking after herself, discovers her inner Bridezilla and comes out swinging when her own dream wedding is imperiled. Now, the two best friends who’d do anything for each other find themselves in a no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners struggle that threatens to erupt into all-out war.

Defiance (2008)

Synopsis:
The year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being massacred by the thousands. Managing to escape certain death, three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate battle against the Nazis. At first it is all they can do to stay alive. But gradually, as whispers of their daring spreads, they begin to attract others–men and women, young and old–willing to risk everything for the sake of even a moment’s freedom. Tuvia is a reluctant leader and his decisions are challenged by his brother, Zus, who worries that Tuvia’s idealistic plans will doom them all. Asael is the youngest–caught between his brothers’ fierce rivalry. As a brutal winter descends, they work to create a community, and to keep faith alive when all humanity appeared to be lost.

Last Chance Harvey (2008)

Last Chance Harvey (2008)

 

 

Synopsis:

New Yorker Harvey Shine is on the verge of losing his dead-end job as a jingle writer. Warned by his boss that he has just one more chance to deliver, Harvey goes to London for a weekend to attend his daughter’s wedding but promises to be back on Monday morning to make an important meeting–or else. Harvey arrives in London only to learn his daughter has chosen to have her stepfather walk her down the aisle. Trying to hide his devastation, Harvey leaves the wedding before the reception in hopes of getting to the airport on time, but misses the plane anyway. When he calls his boss to explain, Harvey is fired on the spot. Drowning his sorrows at the airport bar, Harvey strikes up a conversation with Kate, a sensitive, 40-something employee of the Office of National Statistics. Kate, whose life is limited to work, the occasional humiliating blind date and endless phone calls from her smothering mother, is touched by Harvey, who finds himself energized by her intelligence and compassion. The growing connection between the pair inspires both as they unexpectedly transform one another’s lives.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

 

Synopsis:

Benjamin Button is a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. From New Orleans at the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, on a journey as unusual as any man’s life can be, this is the grand tale of a not so ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds and loses, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

Theater of War (2008)

Synopsis:

A look at the life and ideas of Bertolt Brecht, interwoven with The Public Theater’s staging of his “Mother Courage.”

In the summer of 2006, Meryl Streep took a time out from making movies, and she took on the role of a lifetime: the lead in Bertolt Brecht’s classic anti-war play Mother Courage and Her Children. And for the first time she allowed a camera crew to document her rehearsal process. Theater of War not only takes us back-stage with one of the greatest actresses of our time, it also takes us back in time, uncovering the story of Brecht’s flight from the Nazis, his years in exile, and his eventual return to Germany where he first staged Mother Courage. Along the way, Tony Award winning playwright Tony Kushner and others explore the terrifying theme of Brecht’s masterpiece: why does history repeat itself in an endless cycle of violence and warfare?

Single Mum Madonna Adopting Again?

Newly single mum Madonna is reportedly in the process of adopting a fourth child from Malawi, the same African country where she adopted her son David Banda in 2006.

Madonna is preparing to fly to Malawi with NY Yankees star Alex Rodriguez — just months after officially announcing her separation from Guy Ritchie, reports Star Magazine. The pop superstar is said to have signed paperwork to adopt four-year-old Mercy James.

The young girl’s grandfather has allegedly confirmed the exchange will occur early next year, 2009. He tells Star Magazine, “It breaks our hearts to know she will leave us, but adoption is best for her.”
James’ mother Mwandida died aged 18 just days after giving birth to her daughter.

Madonna and filmmaker Ritchie’s split was announced in October 2008, ending months of speculation.

The Tale of Despereaux (G) Review

Story
In the tradition of a classic Disney-esque animated fairy tale, The Tale of Despereaux, based on the award winning children’s classic by Kate DiCamillo, is about a mouse named Despereaux (Matthew Broderick), with Dumbo-sized ears and an oversized heart. His home , the Kingdom of Dor, was once a happy place but now due to unexpected events, it has been shrouded by doom and gloom. Not for Despereaux! The fearless rodent doesn’t adhere to the usual mouse-like criteria but instead yearns for adventure, especially after he starts reading fables from the castle library. He also bonds with Princess Pea (Emma Watson), who is sad and lonely her kingdom is in such disarray. Despereaux looks at her as a damsel in distress and wants to help. Unfortunately, these are all serious no-nos in Mouseworld, and so Despereaux is banished him to live in the dungeon with the evil Rats, where he meets an agreeable rat, Roscuro (Dustin Hoffman), who is also different from his kind. Roscuro wants to right some past wrongs but is spurned by the princess. Needless to say, things do indeed go awry, and Despereaux must summon all his courage and bravery to save the day.

Acting
Some of the best ensemble casts in movies are being assembled for animated features these days, and The Tale of Despereaux is a prime example. Broderick is ideal as the dignified and ultimately courageous little mouse. Hoffman — in his second ‘toon turn of the year (Kung Fu Panda) — proves again as the soup-loving Roscuro he has a real future as an animated character. Harry Potter’s Watson has the perfunctory English princess role but plays it with compassion, while Tracey Ullman, as maid-cum-wannabe princess Mig, doesn’t go for the laughs but portrays Mig as a hopeful outcast looking for a fairy tale ending to her humdrum life. A whole set of other wonderful vocal talents in Despereaux include Kevin Kline, Frank Langella, Richard Jenkins, Stanley Tucci, William H. Macy, Robbie Coltrane and Christopher Lloyd. And to top it off with just the right touch of whimsy is the lilting narration of Sigourney Weaver, whose comforting voice will assure the youngest kids in the audience that things in Dor aren’t quite as dire as they appear.

Direction
Co-directors Sam Fell and Rob Stevenhagen invest into this gorgeous-looking film all the care that went into the art of DiCamillo’s beautiful book. In fact, unlike many other recent animated features, Despereaux is distinctly old-fashioned, despite all the CGI. The look of the movie is definitely inspired by older, more traditional Disney-style fairy tale classics. Gary Ross’ (Seabiscuit) fine screenplay is reverential to the book and doesn’t back away from the darker aspects of the story which, despite its G rating might be a little on the scary side for the very young ones. For everyone else The Tale of Despereaux is most likely this season’s must-see movie event for the entire family.

Seven Pounds (PG-13)Review

Story
Who knew that Will Smith could deliver the year’s most unexpected and profoundly moving love story? He plays Ben, a man with a deep, dark secret that leads him help seven complete strangers, each with their own particular set of circumstances. Constructed like a jigsaw puzzle, we slowly get clues to the traumatic events that cause Ben to contact these people and change their lives in ways they never could have anticipated. What he doesn’t expect is to fall in love with one of them — Emily Posa (Rosario Dawson), a cardiac patient whose heart may be weak but is clearly strong enough to make a difference in the way Ben looks at things. It’s this relationship that becomes the center of Grant Nieporte’s compelling screenplay, but as it continues it’s obvious there is more to what Ben is doing, a mystery not revealed until the final moments and one you will not easily forget.

Acting
Will Smith is at his best. He may be the world’s No. 1 movie star at the moment, but he’s continually proving himself to be a brilliant actor as well. Reteaming with director Gabriele Muccino, who led him to a Best Actor Oscar nomination in The Pursuit of Happyness, Smith once again finds his dramatic mojo in the role of a man whose life has been shattered by something so profoundly affecting that he reaches out to strangers in an effort to redeem himself. You will be hard-pressed to find the loveable Will Smith persona anywhere within this character. Dawson also has a career best as the spunky and courageous Emily, a role that could have been sloppily sentimentalized and maudlin. She’s a revelation, delivering a flawless and luminous performance. And best among the various recipients of Ben’s kindness is Woody Harrelson as a blind man he encounters. Also quite good is Barry Pepper as Ben’s childhood friend, who is the only other person “in” on Ben’s master plan, helping him to achieve his goal. He rips your heart out when he gets the call from Ben, who says, “It’s time.”

Direction
Gabriele Muccino puts it all out there. He is an unapologetically emotional director and some will probably find fault with his style, but as the Italian filmmaker proved in Pursuit of Happyness he knows exactly what he’s doing and where he’s taking the story. He’s most successful here in building suspense and an air of mystery around Smith’s character and then bringing it all home in a whopper of a final act. Clearly, story, acting and gut-level feeling are the three things that drive Muccino, and his distinctive stamp and European approach is evident throughout. Most of all, he has given Smith and Dawson a real showcase, finding the meat of a story that’s one from the heart and good for the soul.

Yes Man (PG-13) Review

Story
Carl Allen (Jim Carrey) is a drag — a recent divorcee in a dead-end job, who basically has one word for everything: “No!” Then one day he is dragged to one of those super positive, self-help seminars that forces him to say “Yes” to everything or face dire consequences. Thing is, it works. Need Viagra? Yes. Bungee jumping? Yes. A quick hummer by his over-sexed septuagenarian neighbor (Fionnula Flanagan)? Uh … yes? Carl’s newfound, agreeable self gains him more than he ever imagined. He even finds the love of his life, a kooky musician/amateur photographer named Allison (Zooey Deschanel). Of course, all this goodwill does have its consequences, and Carl learns some valuable lessons. Sound familiar? Hey, if Liar Liar worked once why not go back to the comedy well?

Acting
Jim Carrey is just his best when he’s in a comedy — even quirky comedies such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. He is so at home in the shoes of this kind of loveable loser, who gets to live life in broad strokes. He knows how to play for big laughs without going overboard. So from now on, Jim, just say NO to thrillers like The Number 23. In the top notch supporting cast, Sasha Alexander is a deadpan standout as the Persian wife he orders online, and veteran Terence Stamp is a hoot as the self-help guru who gets Carrey into his predicament in the first place. Also very amusing are his best buddies, played by Bradley Cooper and a hilarious Danny Masterson. As his bonkers New Zealand-esque boss, Flight of the Concord’s Rhys Darby is a riot as Carl’s boss. Deschanel is kind of the “straight man” here, but she’s handles it well, if not memorably.

Direction
Peyton Reed is a fairly reliable comedy director with mostly hits (Bring It On, The Break-Up). He knows Yes Man exists as a vehicle for the Jim Carrey brand of comedy and lets Carrey hog the spotlight. The movie lives or dies on what Carrey can deliver and on that scale Yes Man is a hit. There are some bits that fall flat and might have been cut, but for all its broad humor, Reed manages to keep it grounded and in simple scenes between Carrey and Deschanel, the movie even borders on sweet. In a season of dark drama on screen — and off — the antidote could well be this dumb but fun time killer. So, is a little comic relief worth the $10 in the economic downturn? We say, YES!
