“My Life Without Me”

“My Life Without Me” tells the story of a young mother who learns that she is dying, but she tells no one. An amatuerish, dreary film which features an excellent performance by Sarah Polley. The unfortunate supporting cast do the best they can with the stilted dialogue. GRADE = “C-”

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

I’d give the movie a 7. The dvd is pretty full, but most of it was uninteresting to me. Clooney and the cinematographer’s commentary is very technical. The behind the scenes featurette is full of people complementing each other, like most are. There are over 20 minutes of deleted scenes, one of which features Fred […]

Bend It Like Beckham

This is my second favorite movie of the year (right behind MAY). The dvd has a good set of extras. There is a commentary with the director and her husband, the co-writer. It’s an ok listen. The best parts are when she points out where she is in the movie. She put herself in different […]

Billboard’s top 10 goes urban

Last night on Larry King, Jessica Simpson and her hubby Nick were kinda melancholy about the fact that urban and hip hop records comprise the entire top 10 this week. She has a new disc out and they’re both, lets face it not urban pop stars. What do you guys think about this urban swing? […]

2 Fast 2 Furious

I would like to thank Vin Diesel and Rob Cohen for bowing out of this sequel. John Singleton and Tyrese were the best thing to happen to this movie. This was fun! From the opening (the logo becoming a hubcap) to the end credits (I loved the video game style credits). Not a buy, but […]

Killing Emmett Young

This is a direct-to-video movie featuring Scott Wolf (Party of Five’s Bailey) as a 28 year old detective who has just found out he has days to live. Realizing that he has put career advancement over his private life, and that his life will probably have meant nothing, he decides to leave his mark on […]

“Sylvia”

“Sylvia” is the bio of the suicidal poet Sylvia Plath. This sombre film about an unhappy life is graced with a nuanced performance by Gwyneth Paltrow. There is nudity and coarse language. A likely Oscar contender in a variety of categories. GRADE = “B+”
