Serious Moonlight

The sweet charm of Adrienne Shelly's Waitress surprised audiences in 2006, but Serious Moonlight--a posthumously produced script from the late actress-director--seems poised to sneak beneath their notice with its tiny release. My CinemaSpy review reveals if this film is a fitting legacy for its talented screenwriter--and a return to form for romantic comedy favorite Meg Ryan.

The White Ribbon

Critical darling Michael Haneke directs another film sure to divide audiences with The White Ribbon. Check out my review of the Palm d'Or winner at The Playlist.

Avatar

Dear James Cameron,

After seeing Avatar, I owe you an apology for this. And this. Hopefully, this will make it up to you.

Best,
Kimber

A Town Called Panic

Are you suffering from post-Avatar brain melt? If you're in the New York City area, check out stop-motion animated film A Town Called Panic at Film Forum. If not, jump to The Playlist for my review of the simply entertaining children's film.

The Young Victoria

Emily Blunt ascends to a lead role in a big film with The Young Victoria, but is she talented enough to  wear the crown? My review at The Playlist discusses the merits of this period drama produced by the odd pairing of Martin Scorsese and Dutchess Sarah Ferguson.

Brothers

Jake Gyllenhaal looks predictably good in this war drama, and Tobey Maguire, umm, doesn't. But Brothers is about more than pretty people (despite a cast that also includes Natalie Portman), and I dive into the darkness with my review at CinemaSpy. I promise that I address the film--and not Gyllenhaal's arms. I can be quite professional when it's required.

Everybody's Fine

Robert DeNiro may give his finest performance in a decade with Everybody's Fine, but does that make this remake worth your time during a busy holiday season? Jump to CinemaSpy to discover exactly how much of Aunt Ruth's famous egg nog will be required for watching the comic drama (dramatic comedy?) also starring Sam Rockwell, Kate Beckinsale, and Drew Barrymore.
