This Christmas
by DanielleIt's the Christmas season for the Whitfields: a time for joy, family, and endless problems. For Ma'Dere (Loretta Devine), her relationship with Joe (Delroy Lindo) remains a secret shame she tries to keep away from her troubled son Quentin (Idris Elba); Lisa (Regina King) is dealing with a cheating spouse; Kelli (Sharon Leal) is looking for a man, hoping a one-night-stand will lead to love; Baby (Chris Brown), the youngest of the clan, has aspirations to be a singer; and Claude (Columbus Short) is a military officer on leave with secrets that will come back to haunt him. This Christmas is best when it settles into the family dynamic. The cast plays off each other extremely well, selling the history of the Whitfields without overcooking the sibling rivalry bitterness. This Christmas is blessed with copious amounts of charm and spirit, if not story. It's an experience defined by the strength of the cast, who rise above the derivative nature of the picture to fashion something if not entirely fresh, at least it's entertaining and uplifting where it counts. The result is a big, gushy, emotional, secret-driven, family-obsessive casserole, perhaps facile in some of its resolutions, but so full of good heart and love.

Noise
by DanielleDavid Owen (Tim Robbins) appears to lead a normal life: married, with one child and a well-paid job; he is, initially at least, quite unremarkable. But David leads a double life. Sick of the constant noise that engulfs New York City, David becomes "The Rectifier," breaking into any car whose alarm goes off, disabling the alarm and leaving a calling card under the hood. David's crusade draws opposition from the mayor and, as his campaign against noise escalates, causes tension in his marriage. Sharply written and funny. Everyone hates those damn things, so there's a certain amount of joy to be had in simply watching Robbins dish out old fashion vigilante justice on the cars of jerks with out of control noisemakers. But there's more to Noise than Robbins and a pair of wire-cutters. Writer/director Henry Bean attempts to subtly tackle the larger issue of humanity's tendency simply to put up with injustices through David's noise reduction mission. David's obsession is a fascinating one, with implications beyond the narrow world of noise he's focused on. Unfortunately the movie doesn't always stay focused on David and when it takes side trips into courtroom scenes or backroom political maneuvering among politicians it loses steam. Bean seems less sure of himself when he's dealing with the forces arrayed against his main character, and whenever Robbins isn't on screen Noise suffers.

Transsiberian
by DanielleJessie: "Kill off all my demons, Roy, and my angels might die, too. "
The Transsiberian railroad of the title runs between Moscow on one end and Beijing and Vladivostok on the other. An American couple trying to patch up marital differences with a railroad trip across Russia, Roy (Woody Harrelson) and Jesse (Emily Mortimer) hope the travel will ease their communication predicament. On the train, they meet a younger couple, Carlos (Eduardo Noriega) and Abby (Kate Mara), and immediately try to play gracious tourists, befriending the newcomers, who are charming, but well-versed in illegal activities. When Grinko (Ben Kingsley), a Russian drug enforcement officer, boards the train, he sniffs trouble around Jesse, turning his attention to the skittish woman as he hunts for smugglers, leaving the couple at the mercy of the Russian police. This is only the beginning of a roller coaster of a thriller that combines Hitchcockian elements of The Lady Vanishes and Silver Streak with Hostel. Anderson had the smarts to set his thriller in such spectacularly and desolately beautiful surroundings as this, with the train rattling through snow-drenched pine forests that stretch like an ocean to the horizon. The occasional glimpses of civilization are just like specks in the vast land, making a mockery of any assumption of safety Roy and Jessie carry around with them as most Americans still do.Hey, you should really see this!

The Forbidden Kingdom
by DanielleThe Forbidden Kingdom marks the first collaborative experience for Jackie Chan and Jet Li, two action-film marvels fans have been clamoring to see bounce off walls and pummel bad guys for decades now. Jason Tripitikas (Michael Angarano) is your average youth from Boston who's obsessed with kung fu movies. His main supplier is a shop in Chinatown. While looking around one day, he discovers a staff that's been in the shop three generations, waiting to be returned to its rightful owner. During an attempted robbery, Jason attempts to defend the store and its owner, but becomes transported to ancient China. There, he encounters the scholar-immortal Lu Yan (Jackie Chan). Lu Yan recognizes Jason's staff and tells him they must journey to return the staff to its rightful owner, the Monkey King. Only when the Monkey King is awakened can the cruel reign of the Jade Warlord end. Along the way Jason will receive help from a monk (Jet Li) and a girl called Golden Sparrow (Yifei Liu). Their big battle, in essence a standoff between grace (Chan) and gravitas (Li) is a sight to behold. But I thought it would never end. The movie looks flat, the CGI backdrops. Forbidden Kingdom would have been much more than a mere meeting of two kung fu kings. As it stands, we have to suffer through 90 minutes of mediocrity to get a half hour of fabulous flying fists. Some of it was worth the wait, but I found myself at times checking to see how much time until the movie was going to be over with. Both Li and Chan appear in top form, and their one-on-one contests are the picture's lone saving grace. That is, until a scene comes along that has Li urinating on Chan's face. Then you kind of forget the film has any merit whatsoever. Kingdom is a stiff, disturbingly ill-conceived fantasy film.

Birds of America
by DanielleJay: "People need to be jolted.
Morrie: No, people need to be comforted, and you don't comfort them by satisfying your own curiosity about breaking down boundaries and rules. Some people really like their rules, they've chosen them, and you don't get to choose what rules other people obey or not; they do."
Morrie Tananger (Matthew Perry) is a college professor who lives in the home he shared with his parents and siblings as a child. His father committed suicide and his mother succumbed to cancer so he is back at home. His wife, Betty (Lauren Graham) is anxious to start a family but this sentiment is not shared by Morrie. He is not making a lot at the college and wants to wait until his position there is more established and he is tenured. As it happens in stories like this his departmental superior, Paul (Gary Wilmes) and his wife Laura (Hilary Swank) live next door. Ostensibly Paul is Morrie's best friend. Paul and Laura are all too perfect and happy especially when compared to Morrie's family. After Morrie's brother Jay (Ben Foster) is beaten and left in the proverbial ditch he experiences a change in in his world view and feels he is on a Christian mission. While recuperating he moves back in with Morrie and Betty. This also prompts a visit by their sister Ida (Ginnifer Goodwin). She aspires to be a photographer but is not able to make her mark in the field. Disappointed she resorts to copious quantities of alcohol and meaningless sex to numb her feelings. Graham and Perry prove there is life after a long term television series. Both step out of the characters they are best known for and demonstrate that they are considerable talents. This is one that is pleasing and enjoyable. Hilary Swank's got a strange small role as an annoying neighbor, but Swank's not funny enough with it. It presents its story straightforwardly and lets it play out for the viewer. Some things work, some things don't. More work than not.Hey, you should really see this!

War, Inc.
by DanielleMarsha Dillon: "I have a can of mace! And I will use it!"
Cusack is Brand Hauser, a government assassin tasked to whack an oil baron who wants to run a pipeline through Turaqistan and drink some of America's milkshake. Brand is given a cover story: he'll be organizing the arrival and media opportunities of rising Turaqi pop star Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff), a leftist reporter Natalie Hegalhuzen (Marisa Tomei), who wants the full story on what Brand is doing in Turaqistan, and a hard-bitten assistant Marsha Dillon (Joan Cusack), who wants Brand to ice the target already so they can all go home. Cusack's morose intelligence holds everything together, and he has an agreeably combative rapport with Tomei and a gentler one with Duff. The movie takes some cues from satires old and more recent, but its tempo and emphasis are all its own. "War" is critical of current shady American business methods and Bush-age Middle-Eastern maneuvering, but it?s blasted onto the screen with a heavy satirical bent. These are acidic brush strokes, but "War" is amazingly light on its toes, packing in heated depictions of corruption and corporate manipulation while saving plenty of room for much broader spit-takes.Hey, you should really see this!
