 Like Crazy
More Like Maddening Elisabeth Leitch
On one level, Like Crazy points to a love that is simply crazy, illogical, and likely doomed. On the other, it points to our very real need for that crazy level of love which will keep us reaching out for it until we find it somewhere.

 A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas
Webmaster David Bruce Long titles aside... this is the first Christmas film of the season. But it's not really about Christmas... it's about friendship! Time can pull us apart, and it's too bad because good friends are good to keep--rare things that you would do well to keep. What we see here is another friendship getting in the way... a spouse! How do you keep the old friendships intact while moving on with your marriage?

 Into the Abyss
Killing a Killer Darrel Manson
The film's subtitle, A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life, is a clue to what Herzog wants us to understand. He is looking at this not so much as a story about what is appropriate punishment for a crime as about the value of life itself.

 The Descendants
Always Listen Brock & DeArmond
Sometimes parents and kids don't connect. Parents say that the kids don't listen and the kids say the same about their parents. The thing is, it works both ways. You've got to listen to each other.

 AFI Fest 2011
Winners and Favorites Darrel Manson
At each screening of the films in the World Cinema, Young Americans, and New Auteurs sections, ballots were passed out to audience members to rate the films from 1 to 5. These votes were used to determine the audience awards. The winners were...
More coverage from the festival...
The final day of AFIfest was a time to get in a few films I didn't get a chance to see their first time around. It has been a wonderful festival. It attracts great talent and brings new talent to audiences.
It was dark in Chinese Theater 1 yesterday. Oh, sure, theaters are always dark, but the films I saw there yesterday did nothing to make the world seem any brighter. My wife noted recently that I see more depressing movies than anyone she knows. One of the films I was most interested in seeing at the festival is Lars von Trier's Melancholia. I always look forward to von Trier's films with anticipation, but also with a good dose of trepidation. Ralph Fiennes directs and stars in Coriolanus, based on one of Shakespeare's lesser known plays. Here we have a 17th Century English play about a 5th Century Roman general set in the 21st Century. Sunday was a day of world cinema for me, traveling to medieval Germany by way of Russia, then to Israel and Iran. I had earlier made a visit (via press screening) to an Albania. Films showing at the festival may or may not be showing us the filmmaking stars of tomorrow. Not just actors and directors, but some of those whose names we never know unless we watch those credits at the end. Their names may not be known, but the work they put out might still make them stars. Out on the street you can find Batman, Spiderman, Charlie Chaplin, Sonic the Hedgehog, et al., willing to have their picture taken with you for tips. Inside is a different environment with filmmakers from around the world who are here to show their wares. |

 Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
The Mystery of the Lorax Jason C. Stanley
Just from the trailer's two and half minutes, you can tell this is a fable (dare we say, a parable?) regarding the dilemma of the environment.

 Cars 2
Bigger, Faster, Louder Nate Watts
Now on Blu-ray. The sequel spends about five minutes in Radiator Springs before it blasts into full acceleration on a cross-continental spy/action flick. The kids will enjoy the fast-paced adventure, but it might lose a few parent fans along the way.
