THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

I loved these films. they made my day:

an inconvenient sequel

Time flies, and it’s been ten years since An Inconvenient Truth warned us about the seriousness of climate change. Once again, Al Gore takes us with him on a journey to find solutions to the environmental disasters we have wrought. Engrossing and important.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

I loved these films. they made my day:

brooklyn

The screenwriter is Nick Hornby and I like just about everything he writes (High Fidelity, About a Boy). Saoirse Ronan gives an affecting performance as an Irish immigrant who comes to America in the 1950s rings true. She falls in love in America, but when she goes “home” to Ireland to visit she becomes entangled with a local boy. A tough choice ensues.

I origins

A startlingly fresh, unique, thought-provoking and downright fascinating film with Brit Marling and Michael Pitt. A molecular biologist and his lab partner uncover evidence that could change society as we know it. Distribution deal.

This translates as “a child of divorce” and is about a young man (Adam Scott) trying to negotiate his way around his parent’s (Richard Jenkins and Catherine O’Harar) toxic divorce. Trying to broker a peace between them for the sake of his younger brother he enlists the help of a therapist (Amy Poehler).

loved these films. they made my day:

celeste and jesse forever

Rashida Jones (Parks and Recreation) is wonderful as a serious businesswoman trying to cope with the breakup of her high school romance/marriage to a free spirit played by Adam Samberg. Realistic. Sad. Romantic. Funny. Surprising.

SUNDANCE 2011
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY

loved these films. they made my day:

ANOTHER EARTH

A movie like no other. Intriguing and complex. Look for the star – Brit Marling was also a screenwriter and producer – she’s going to have a BIG career. She plays an MIT astrophysics student who briefly leans out of her car to look at a newly discovered planet and slams into a minivan, killing the mother and child and jettisoning any chance of living a “regular” life. After serving 4 years in prison she returns to her hometown and is compelled to meet the bereaved man whose life has also been transformed by the tragic accident. The plot is compelling and surprising so I don’t reveal any more … AWARDS: Alfred Sloan Feature Film Prize & Special Jury Prize U.S. Drama

COMPANY MEN

Brilliant and timely. An inspired cast – Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper, Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, Maria Bello – portray with searing honesty the anger and hopelessness of people who WERE on the fast track, but because of the economy and corporate downsizing, are now in the ranks of the unemployed. See this film. It makes the headlines come alive.

Delightful! Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zoey Deschanel are ADORABLE, intriguing, quirky and thoroughly watchable in a film described as: Boy meets Girl … Boy falls in love … Girl doesn’t. Terrific filmmaking and wonderful performances.

Flow: For Love of Water

A documentary about, um, water. See this film! Like An Inconvenient Truth, this is a film with a message that is important to all of us. Well done and not too preachy. In it’s own way is even a tiny bit hopeful.

Oh, wow, what fun. An award-worthy performance by . The dynamic between the stand-up comic mom and her 2 VERY different sons is in turn affecting, sad and always engaging. Received a standing ovation AND distribution.
