THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE

June 28th, 2009

THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE is the latest Steven Soderbergh film about a high end call girl whose claim to fame is offering not just sex but the true experience of having a girlfriend even if it is one of fantasy and not reality. Ironically many of her clientele complain about being hamstrung by the economic downturn but still have funds to pay for her service. Her name is Chelsea (crossover ad ...

LITTLE ASHES

June 28th, 2009

LITTLE ASHES is an obscure line from an obscure poem that adds even more confusion to this befuddled movie. Current Twilight heart throb Robert Pattinson is not quite up to the stretch of playing Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí. Although his is the most famous character portrayed he turns out not to be the central character. The focal point turns out to be Federico García Lorca (Javier Beltr ...

THE PROPOSAL

June 22nd, 2009

THE PROPOSAL has Vancouver’s Ryan Reynolds in yet another romantic comedy this time teamed up with the queen of romantic comedy, Sandra Bullock. Their keen comic timing works well off one another for the first half of this generally well written and for the most part well paced story. Bullock as Margaret Tate is the boss from hell who has cracked New York’s glass ceiling as a shaker at a larg ...

SUMMER HOURS

June 22nd, 2009

SUMMER HOURS. Those lazy, hazy memories that we are most nostalgic about usually spent at a perennial retreat at that time of the year when the living is easy. For one French Family in this well made movie it’s the country estate of the brood’s matriarch Hélène (Edith Scob) who inherited the house and it’s collection of art treasures and priceless furniture from a favourite uncle. Hélène is t ...

IMAGINE THAT

June 14th, 2009

IMAGINE THAT should do much to take the albatross of bad movies past from around the neck of Eddie Murphy. He’s teamed up with just about the most adorable child actor to come along since Dakota Fanning and his sometimes infantile shtick has found a compatible match. She is Yara Shahidi playing Olivia the daughter of Evan (Murphy) a commodities broker constantly upstaged in front of clients b ...

AWAY WE GO

June 14th, 2009

AWAY WE GO is the story of a pregnant couple’s search for the right environment to raise their impending child. Burt Farlander is an insurance underwriter played by John Krasinski who translates a lot of the level headed charm he’s so famous for in The Office but it’s spiced with a touch of looniness that he inherits from his flaky ex-hippy parents Gloria (Catherine O’Hara) and Jerry (Jeff D ...

DEPARTURES

June 14th, 2009

DEPARTURES is an internationally acclaimed Japanese film that won many honours before taking the best foreign language Oscar at this years Academy Awards. This film is so gorgeous that politics aside and strictly on merit it should have been considered for best picture against what was offered in English as it could have given Slumdog Millionaire a run for its money. Tugging at the heart of t ...

Land of the Lost

June 8th, 2009

Land of the Lost is a big screen adaptation of a long ago TV series that was rejuvenated in the early ’90’s. Where it may have a nostalgic aspect for original viewers, as a stand alone movie it’s just plain silly. Will Farrell gambled and lost on this movie playing Dr. Rick Marshall who with much debatable hubris expounds his theory to an incredulous Matt Lauer (in a bad career move) that man ...
