Spread

August 16th, 2009
Spread is an art imitating life story since it stars Ashton Kutcher who seems amply qualified to portray Nikki as he’s a guy who lives in praise of older women. However when he finally moves into their “spread” Nikki reverts to his role as hedonistic player while maintaining gigolo service to his primary. Poor Nikki, to be saddled with such irresistible good looks! We meet him between sugar m ...

The Time Traveler's Wife

August 16th, 2009
The Time Traveler's Wife is the odd romance between Chicago’s Henry DeTamble and Clare Abshire that owes a lot to Canadian talent. Young Henry and young Clare are played by two BC kids - Alex Ferris and Brooklynn Proulx respectively - while London Ontario’s Rachel McAdams is Clare.  Eric Bana plays Henry the fourth dimension adventurer and Clare is his real time significant other – some times ...

In this Japanese animee Anglicized by the Disney folks Sosuke’s father is a ship captain so he’s mostly left with his mom and his imagination at his remote seaside hamlet.

Adam

August 16th, 2009
Adam is Adam Raki (Hugh Dancy), A New York Asperger's Syndrome savant with a maximum education and minimum social skills. He’s orphaned at 29 when his father dies which for most men would be no problem but Adam is left virtually rudderless.

Julie and Julia

August 9th, 2009
Julie and Julia reunites last years Oscar nominees for Doubt Amy Adams and Meryl Streep – sort of. They never actually share the screen together because they’re living in dimensions 50 years apart but connected by a love of French Cuisine. Julia (Streep) is legendary TV gourmet chef Julia Child while Julie (Adams) is Julie Powell, a thirtysomething woman trapped in a stressful post 9-11 job. ...

A Perfect Getaway

August 9th, 2009
A Perfect Getaway starts with a clever double entendre for a title and keeps the double talk coming right through to its twisted ending. In a corner of that paradise known as Hawaii two newlyweds Cliff (Steve Zahn) and Cydney (Milla Jovovich) are honeymooning in the 50th state and elect to take an overnight hike to a pristine but secluded beach. On the way they meet a couple of couples, one n ...

Soul Power

August 9th, 2009
Soul Power documents an important part of rock music’s chronology that amazingly has been shelved for 35 years and only came to light when researchers were looking for footage for the 1996 documentary When We Were Kings. In 1974 Don King wasn’t the oily, obnoxious crook many today claim him to be but a promoter with the genius and vision to combine a heavyweight title fight and music festival ...

Thirst

August 9th, 2009
Thirst is kind of a Korean True Blood, the hit HBO vampire series but you’d never guess it during the first half hour of the movie. Sang-hyeon (Kang-ho Song) a troubled priest in the largely non catholic Korean peninsula. His faith is self defeating as it lacks the miraculous power that he envisioned having as a man of the cloth. After nihilistically volunteering to act as a human guinea pig ...

Funny People

August 1st, 2009
Funny People indeed has a lot of funny people, most of them playing themselves like Paul Reiser,  Norm MacDonald,  Sarah Silverman, Ray Romano – pretty much anyone in stand-up comedy who doesn’t have a picture deal right now – even James Taylor not known for any sense of humour at all is pretty funny here. These real comedians are fictitious contemporaries of George Simmons played by Adam San ...
