Dear John
Dear John seemed to come out of nowhere Super Bowl weekend to rake in more than $30 million and overtake Avatar atop the Box Office charts. But those aliens of…
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee
The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is one of those small arty films starring an impressive roster of accomplished actors who probably took the gig for the love of the…
A Single Man
A Single Man is a good movie, but not an entertaining one. Colin Firth delivers a quietly stunning performance as George Falconer, a middle-aged college professor struggling to get through…
Chéri
I heard about Chéri when it was around, but being in small town USA, it was only here for an instant and I missed it. Fortunately, it is now on…
The Road
Another post-apocalyptic movie? Seems there can't be too many of them these days. The difference though with The Road is that it has a real story and isn't reliant on…
Invictus
Two questions come to mind when you watch Clint Eastwood's new feel good movie Invictus. Did rugby really make that big a difference in race relations in South Africa? And…
The Blind Side
Simply put: If you liked Jerry Maguire or Antwone Fisher (both excellent films, by the way) then you’ll definitely like The Blind Side. It’s not so much a movie about…

So, what is coming up this fall? More for the chicks, one can only hope. Usually, post-summer we get back to having adult fare and start the march to the…
The Time Traveler’s Wife
This is definitely one of those movies where it helps to have read the book. In fact, I doubt anyone who hasn’t read the book - a best-seller by Audrey…
Julie & Julia
Meryl Streep has channeled Julia Child. She is marvelous. I love her. Like Julia, I love food and I love cooking, so this movie spoke to me, though I am…
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
At two hours and thirty-three minutes in running length, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince could easily grow tiresome. But somehow, I was surprised when it ended. That is…
