Week of October 16th through October 20th



COMING OUT THIS WEEK- MEN AGAINST WOMEN

THE PRESTIGE, MARIE ANTOINETTE, FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS, AND RUNNING WITH SCISSORS
OPEN ON OCTOBER 20TH


With The Grudge 2 taking over the box office last weekend and The Departed still doing well in theaters, openly dropping 30%, there will be plenty of competition this week as The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlett Johansson, and Michael Caine opens this week. At the same time, Sophia Coppola directs Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette in the title role. This also happens to be best week for Joseph Cross, as he is appearing in two films. The first is with Annette Bening in Running with Scissors, and the second is in Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers, which also stars Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, Adam Beach, and Paul Walker.

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Flags Of Our Fathers (in Film )

Clint Eastwood’s strength as a director is his uncanny ability to capture subtlety. “Flags of our Fathers” is a great epic film.

The Robin Harris Story DVD (in Film )

Besides accolades from his contemporaries, the DVD features a variety of revealing reminiscences by friends and relatives who felt blessed by his presence.

The Breakup DVD (in Film )

Delectable in its vindictiveness, offset by a sophisticated brand of humor likely to keep you in stitches from start to finish.

Man of the Year (in Film )

Trust me, a sloppily-edited, unmanageable insult to the intelligence with far too many shortcomings to deserve any further analysis.

The Grudge 2 (in Film )

“The Grudge 2” has no substance, no thrill, no suspense, numerous fade-outs, and finally no explanation. Better to rent the original.

Zerophilia (in Film )

Zerophilia is as ingenious and as expertly-executed a feature film debut as you could ever hope to find among the artsy, micro-budget offerings.

Tideland (in Film )

Deliberately disturbing, disgusting, and designed with the unshockable in mind, Tideland is strictly recommended for the very open-minded with cast-iron stomachs.

Waist Deep DVD review (in Film )

A big payday is the only explanation I can think of for his foisting such an absurd, insult to the intelligence on the unsuspecting public.

A Prairie Home Companion DVD review (in Film )

Highly-recommended for loyal devotees inclined to approach A Prairie Home Companion as a cinematic capstone on Keillor's magnificent career.

The Departed review (in Film )

The Departed is one of the year's best films. It's explosive to say the least, but it's also well-acted, executed, and highly intense.

Click DVD review (in Film )

Another Adam Sandler vehicle where he plays that familiar infantile character with an excuse to behave like a moron.

Art School Confidential DVD review (in Film )

Art School Confidential is an ingenious spoof shot from the perspective of a rapidly-disillusioned kid plunged to the depths of despair.

Little Miss Sunshine review (in Film )

A wonderful, wonderful message movie, warts-an-all!

The Last King of Scotland review (in Film )

Forest Whitaker simply captivates the screen as Idi Amin in a commanding performance that's worthy of a Best Actor Oscar nomination.

The Queen review (in Film )

Playing "The Queen" with compassion and force, Helen Mirren is the heart and soul of the film.

The Guardian review (in Film )

Another buddy flick filled with so many cliched scenarios.

Black Gold review (in Film )

A perplexing expose' documentary directed by Nick and Marc Francis

All The King's Men review (in Film )

This pretentious, meandering rehash devotes more attention to recreating the ambiance of a bygone era than to addressing, in a meaningful manner, the myriad moral questions it raises.
