MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK AT THE THEATER-<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1) SHOLEM ALEICHEM: LAUGHING IN THE DARKNESS-<\/strong> 2011.\u00a0 <\/strong>7\/25\/11. I saw this movie (for the\u00a02nd. time)\u00a0at the Living Room Theaters at Florida Atlantic University on Glades Road in Boca Raton. By Joseph Dorman, this is a wonderful documentary about the famous Yiddish writer. TRDB.<\/strong><\/div>\n

2) LE HAVRE<\/strong>– 2011. Synopsis by Netflix. “This comedic drama relates the poignant tale of a young immigrant African boy arriving destitute in the French port of Le<\/strong> Havre<\/strong>, where he’s eventually taken under the wing of a former Bohemian writer who now chooses to shine shoes for a living.” Good audience reaction and OK professional reviews so far. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10\/21\/11- Very good review in today’s NY Times. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

11\/1\/11- I found this movie interesting, in particular the characters of the neighborhood. Also, the love between the two principal characters was portrayed beautifully. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

MOVIES I SAW THIS WEEK AT HOME-<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1) BEAUTIFUL BOY<\/strong>– 2010. Synopsis by Netflix. “This heartrending drama stars Michael Sheen as Bill Carroll, who is contemplating separating from his wife, Kate (Maria Bello), when the unimaginable happens: Their 18-year-old son, Sam (Kyle Gallner), commits mass murder at his university before killing himself. While coping with their grief, Bill and Kate must deal with the insatiable media, other parents furious at them for their son’s actions and their own questions about their culpability.” Good early reviews. TRDB. Poor review in NY Times on 6\/3\/11. TRDB.<\/strong>10\/31\/11- Mixed reviews but I liked this movie very much if you can\u00a0really like\u00a0this type of voyeurism into the raw emotion of these people.\u00a0Especially troubling is the parent’s quest\u00a0for an explanation.\u00a0TRDB. <\/strong>Netflix.<\/div>\n

2) VIVA RIVA!-<\/strong> 2010. Synopsis by Netflix. “Hustler Riva (Patsha Bay) hopes to make a fortune by smuggling large quantities of gasoline and selling it for high prices in fuel-starved Kinshasa, but he’s not the only one with his eye on the lucrative prize. Riva’s plan gets complicated when he falls for Nora (Manie Malone), the girlfriend of local crime kingpin Azor (Diplome Amekindra), but the stunning Nora is also scheming for a big payday in this sleek thriller.” Fair review in NY Times on 6\/10\/11 but good reviews in general. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10\/31\/11- I can’t believe anyone gave this a good review. Awful and I turned it off. TRDB. <\/strong>Netflix.<\/p>\n

3) MARGIN CALL<\/strong>– 2011.\u00a0Synopsis by Netflix. “An all-star cast shines in this engrossing drama about a critical 24-hour period at a high-profile investment bank in the early days of the 2008 financial crisis, when young analyst Peter Sullivan (Zachary Quinto) uncovers information that could destroy the firm. When he alerts upper management to the precarious position of their risky investments, an emergency meeting is held to decide if they should alert clients or abscond with the profits.” Very good early reviews. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10\/21\/11- Excellent review in today’s NY Times. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10\/31\/11- A good “financial thriller” and although I enjoyed it I could have used a bit less of Kevin Spacey’s lessons. Jeremy Irons as the\u00a0head honcho was great.\u00a0TRDB.<\/strong> Comcast On-Demand.<\/p>\n

4) THE HIGH COST OF LIVING<\/strong>– 2010. Synopsis by Netflix. “Well-to-do housewife Nathalie (Isabelle Blais) eagerly awaits the<\/strong> birth of her first child, while elsewhere in Montreal, small-time drug dealer Henry (Zach Braff) plans his next score. One night, their contrasting lives become intertwined when Henry hits Nathalie with his car. He flees the<\/strong> scene but later tries to make amends — without revealing his culpability. As their friendship grows, the<\/strong> remorseful Henry fears Nathalie will learn the<\/strong> truth.”<\/p>\n

9\/9\/11- Fair review in today’s NY Times. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

11\/1\/11- Somewhat predictable, especially the ending but I enjoyed elements of this film and I can recommend it with qualifications. TRDB.<\/strong> Netflix.<\/p>\n

Reilly). Turns out that both know all too well what it’s really like to be alone, which makes them ideal companions for each other.”6\/26\/11- An article about this movie (not a review) in today’s NY Times.

2) GREAT DIRECTORS<\/strong>–\u00a0Synopsis by Netflix. “New York-based businesswoman and filmmaker Angela Ismailos<\/a> offers this collection of in-depth interviews with David Lynch<\/a>, John Sayles<\/a>, Catherine Breillat<\/a>, Bernardo Bertolucci<\/a> and six other internationally acclaimed film directors. Touching on everything from the creative process and the history of cinema to the necessity of balancing art and commerce, Ismailos’s interviews also include sit-downs with Liliana Cavani<\/a>, Ken Loach<\/a> and Agn\u00e8s Varda<\/a>.”\u00a0Decent professional reviews and only fair audience reaction.\u00a0TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) THE TREE OF LIFE<\/strong>– 2011. Synopsis by Netflix. “Brad Pitt and Sean Penn star in Terrence Malick’s 1950s adventure about a confused man named Jack, who sets off on a journey to understand the<\/strong> true nature of the<\/strong> world. Growing up in the<\/strong> Midwest with two brothers, Jack has always been torn between his mother’s guidance to approach everything he encounters with an open heart and his father’s advice to look after his own interests. Now, Jack must find a way to regain purpose and perspective.” Good audience reviews so far but no professional ones as yet. TRDB. The movie won best picture at Cannes 2011. <\/strong><\/p>\n

6\/6\/11- While grand in scale I felt that I was watching a series of coming attractions, each lasting 1 or 2 minutes. What\u00a0 a waste of time.\u00a0My friend Sue said it well– “Judging by the award of Best Picture at Cannes I feel like I am watching “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” I agree. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) LIFE IN A DAY<\/strong>– 2011.\u00a0 Synopsis by Netflix. “On July 24, 2010, thousands of people around the world joined together to document mundane and remarkable everyday life<\/strong> in<\/strong> a single day<\/strong>. Filmmaker Kevin MacDonald led a team of editors to condense more than 4,500 hours of footage and 80,000 clips into a portrait of life<\/strong> as it is lived on Earth. From dense cities to remote and forbidding landscapes, the myriad varieties of human experience are celebrated and revealed.” Fairly good reviews for this documentary. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER<\/strong>–\u00a0Synopsis by Netflix. “This beautifully shot film combines comedy and tragedy in the<\/strong> tale of a workaholic human<\/strong> resources<\/strong> manager<\/strong> (Mark Ivanir) who neglects his family to further his career. But when an employee at his bakery is killed, he begins an odd journey toward self-realization. Offering to escort the<\/strong> woman’s body from Israel back to her Eastern European homeland, the<\/strong> manager<\/strong> is puzzled by eccentric characters along the<\/strong> way but begins to understand the<\/strong> importance of family.”<\/p>\n

1\/11- A bit far fetched but still an interesting road trip that I enjoyed. At the Palm Springs Int. Film Festival. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) PUTTY HILL<\/strong>– 2010. Synopsis by Netflix. “In a vacant house in Baltimore’s skid row, a young man named Cory dies of a heroin overdose. As his friends and family unite for his funeral, their reflections reveal as much about the condition of the city as their tragic loss. Filmed over just a few days and largely improvised, this moving drama by director Matthew Porterfield was an official selection of the 2010 South By Southwest Film Festival.” Very good professional reviews and average audience reaction. TRDB.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Using her father’s old camcorder to chronicle the hypocrisy she sees in adults, Paloma begins to learn about life from the grumpy building concierge, Ren\u00e9e Michel (Josiane Balasko). When Paloma’s camera reveals the extensive secret library in Ren\u00e9e’s back room, and that the often gruff matron reads Tolstoy to her cat, Paloma begins to understand that there are allies to be found beneath the prickliest of exteriors. As the unlikely friendship deepens, Paloma’s own coming of age becomes a much less pessimistic prospect.”8\/19\/11- Very good reviews in general and a good review in today’s NY Times.
