Paper Heart
PG-13
Quirky charmer that melds documentary about finding love with a fictional love story between co-producer and star Charlyne Yi and actor Michael Cera playing themselves. Hilariously funny in some spots, deeply poignant in others. Ultimately very satisfying. Great soundtrack also!
Amelia
PG
Visually lush but sometimes slow biopic of Amelia Earhart with Hillary Swank in another potentially Oscar-nominated lead. Richard Gere has his best part in years as Earhart's husband George Putnam. Christopher Eccleston steals the show in the last half as Fred Noonan, Earhart's navigator on her final flight. Top notch score, and visually stunning flight sequences help make this movie and also help propel it to it's inevitable conclusion.

Speed Racer
PG
Not just one of the best films of the year but one of the best OF ALL TIME! Incredible techno-fused hybrid of animation and live aciton is a joy for kids of ALL AGES! Emile Hirsch is brilliant as Speed, and the movie has one of the best, most positive messages of recent memory. Don't listen to the savage critics on this one, SPEED RACER is a 100% WINNER!
Hero
PG-13
Current resident of the #1 spot on my Personal Pantheon all time favorites list. Incredible story, exceptional cinematography, WOW!!! Story is mesmerizing, and the cast is terrific. Yimou's use of color and water in this movie is absolutely stunning. Donnie Yen ROCKS!
