Movie News, Movie Reviews, and Features With Your Time in Mind

April 6, 2009 by Kathryn Schroeder

John Malkovich in The Great Buck Howard

The Great Buck Howard is a wonderful film about a young man searching for himself and another desperate to hold on to what he once had.

Film Review: ‘I Love You Man’

April 6, 2009 by Kathryn Schroeder

Jason Segel and Paul Rudd in I Love You Man

I Love You Man is a great experience for men and women alike. It is full of laughs and gags that do not go to the overly extreme or come across as contrived.

Film Review: ‘Duplicity’

April 1, 2009 by Kathryn Schroeder

Julia Roberts and Clive Owen in Duplicity

The charming smile of Clive Owen (Ray) could not save Duplicity or the star persona of Julia Roberts (Claire). It is quite frankly, a horrible mess.

Film Review: ‘Gigantic’

March 30, 2009 by Russell Espinosa

Paul Dano and Zooey Deschanel in Gigantic.

Great movies transform the bored spectator into an active participant by completely transporting him or her to another world. It could be a fantastical world full of adventure or a bleak reality full of loneliness and despair. Either or, the viewer expects some kind of fulfillment from a film after dedicating two hours of life to sitting in front of a flickering screen. If it’s a comedy, we want to laugh, if it’s a drama, we long for tension and emotion, and even from a documentary based on actuality, we crave insight and the sense that we learned something new. In a way, Gigantic tries to be all of these things, but it fails miserably because it tries too hard to be original, quirky, and to be “real.”

Film Review: ‘Sunshine Cleaning’

March 15, 2009 by Kathryn Schroeder

Amy Adams and Emily Blunt in Sunshine Cleaning.

If you are seeking a film that is heartfelt, touching, and wholly believable, Sunshine Cleaning is it. The characters are full of range and emotion, and meld together on screen with a simplistic ease. Sunshine Cleaning is a story about family, about overcoming ones past, finding your future and accepting who you are and the choices you have made. More importantly, it will make you feel something while bringing you laughter and possibly a few tears.
